Pocky vs. Pejoy: A Crispy Clash of the Biscuit Sticks

Pocky vs. Pejoy: A Crispy Clash of the Biscuit Sticks

Jan 22nd 2024

Calling all candy connoisseurs, snack enthusiasts, and chocolate aficionados! Gather 'round for a showdown of epic proportions – the Pocky vs. Pejoy showdown! These titans of the biscuit stick world have captivated taste buds for generations, but which reigns supreme? Fear not, intrepid snackers, for Blair Candy is here to guide you through this delicious duel.

Origins and Offspring

Both Pocky and Pejoy hail from the Land of the Rising Sun, Japan. Born in the creative kitchens of Glico, Pocky arrived on the scene in 1966, while Pejoy, the slightly younger sibling, followed in 1976. So, think of Pocky as the cool older brother, and Pejoy as the curious, ever-inventive younger one.

But what are these delectable duos made of? Both Pocky and Pejoy boast light, crispy biscuit sticks formed from a blend of flour, sugar, vegetable oil, and milk powder. But here's where things get interesting. Pocky dons a delightful coat of chocolate or flavored glaze on one end, leaving the other end blissfully bare for dunkin' and dippin' fun. Pejoy, on the other hand, shuns the dipping scene altogether. This sly devil hides a luscious cream filling inside its biscuit shell, offering a burst of flavor with every bite.

The Pocky Protagonist

Pocky is the OG, the trendsetter. Its signature dippable design has fueled countless social media challenges and playful moments. Imagine the delicate dance of dunking a Pocky stick in a steaming cup of matcha, the satisfying snap as you pull it back, and the explosion of chocolate mingling with the earthy tea. Pocky's thin coating offers a delightful contrast between the smooth chocolate and the crunchy biscuit, making it a master of subtlety and elegance.

The Pejoy Prodigy

Pejoy, however, is the flavor bomb. Its creamy core explodes with every munch, offering a bolder, more in-your-face taste experience. Think milk and cookiesrich chocolate, or the delightful taste of mint – Pejoy's got a flavor for every mood. And because the filling runs throughout the entire stick, each bite is a guaranteed party in your mouth.
