Oh, lordy, y’all. There is no way I can now not get Pocky. And you just know, when I do, the girl is going to insist on theHello Kitty stuff. :rolleyes:
sunspace, you are cruel.
There are THREE Oriental food marts within a mile of me. Three.
~sigh~
(I will not join the Pocky support group though. Rather I will cower in the back of my closet, hoarding the Pocky from LilMiss)
Import places like Cost Plus sometimes sell Pocky, as well. The Hello Kitty Pocky looks cute, but if it’s anything like the Hello Kitty multi-vitamins that jumped into my cart I swear; meh.
Also, isn’t Pixie Stix just powdered Sweetarts? Sweetarts ain’t much. So really, it’s all just in your head and you can hand over all your Pixie Stix to me.
Best Use For Pixie Stix:
-
Get a long-neck 16-oz glass bottle of Coke (Dr. Pepper, Mr. Pibb & Pepsi will work, too - but it has to be a long neck! No diet, either.)
-
Uncap the bottle and drink a few swallows of the soda.
-
Dump in the contents of an average sized pixie stick.
-
Run away as the soda explodes out of the bottle in a huuuuge sticky geyser!
Lotsa fun!!
Who, me? <innocent look>
I but help fortify the resistance to the yummy… crunchy… treats by helping you …avoid… them. Yeah, that’s it. “Avoid”.
There’s a store that sells them right next to my dentist! It’s torture!! Honest!

Vanilla flavored Yam Yam?
Is this stuff legal?
It sounds immoral.
You pervs.
I wants me some.
Ok, looking at the first Pocky link, there is a Men’s Pocky. Is it bigger? Filled with uhhhh…creamy goodness…I was going to write vanilla goo but that mushed to upstanding dopers together in a lovenest.
Why Mens? Why no women pocky? I sound asian. Don’t hurt me.
That would be Two upstanding dopers. Nuts.
This may be the way to finally capture those undecided voters before tomorrow. We can find out which candiate approves of a pixie stick ban. It seems to me that there would be a landslide for that candidate from parents all over the country 
Mens Pocky is about the same as regular chocolate pocky, only the chocolate isn’t quite as sweet. If you want bigger, go for the Mousse brand I mentioned earlier. The chocolate is creamier too.
On a side note, my friends always know when I have strawberry pocky. I always make references to sucking on a long pink stick.
Only if you snort it like my brother did once!!
I tried both the regular Pocky and the Men’s Pocky, but couldn’t really tell the difference. Except that I had a package of the Men’s Pocky, and it was really great and I thought we had something there, but then it never called me back. And when I asked what was wrong, it just said, “nothing” and went on watching television.
But I know I can change it. It’ll come around, and we’ll make this work.
Yup, Pixie Stix are Kiddy Krack. Just be grateful you have a child and not a ferret.
A ferret? I know someone with a ferret. Hm…
What does actually happen? (where’s the evil smilie?)
Not quite Pixie Stix, but once I let my ferrets drink Kool-Aide. They ran around the place like they’d been doing espresso shots, and finally wore out and crashed. They just stopped where they were, flat on the floor on their bellies. I decided this wasn’t a wise thing to continue to do.
Whoops, posts crossed. Most ferret books I’ve read have said it’s unwise to feed ferrets sugar on a regular basis (IIRC, it includes the possibility of developing insulinomas), but once won’t hurt. Well, won’t hurt the ferret…
sigh…I wouldn’t actually do it. The little guy in question already has tummy problems. On top of the fact that I’d feel guilty as hell, I’d likely never be allowed to go near him again, and I’m totally smitten with him.
Heh. I’ve always called 'em Kiddie Kocaine.
My husband has had a long history of addiction to Pixie Stix. There was a San Diego Dopefest where he was able to get his hands on a few of those three-feet long Pixie Stix, and I needed to scrape him off the ceiling a few hours later.
Actually, I was making a reference to the online comic Sluggy Freelance. Kiki the ferret has a bit of a pixie stix problem.
It’s probably not a good idea to give sugar to real ferrets either.
Oooh, Pocky. Oh, how I lurrrrve Pocky.
Try a comic book store. Two different ones around here sell Pocky. The first time I tried it the whole box mysteriously disappeared before I got home. My husband, who was driving the car and thus was unable to wrestle the box back from me, got all of two pieces.
Pocky is divine.
Sorry about that. You may now all resume your Pixie Stix adoration.
