    Available at your local suncoast, or at Suncoast.com you can get your fill of Pocky and Yan Yan. *^-^*
    pocky (also known as crack *^-^*;; ) is a stick coated in frosting.
    yan yan is a stick that you dip in frosting...
    both are really good, and they come from the japanese company.(according to the label, which has no american reference on it at all)
    $3.99 for pocky, $2.99 for yan yan.

    (izz, you may wanna stock up before our company is sold from best buy! *^-^*)

    Yum, love them both especially pocky:) . The gaint pockys are the best even though it doesn't come in all of my favorite flavors. Thanx for the information.

    Hmm, yan-yan was a childhood treat for me. Filipino stores in the area here ALL have them, so I don't have to look too hard for that. Especially since momma goes to the store once every couple weeks. I used to eat that every day when I lived back there.

    And for pocky, yeah, the anime place I go to sells it too. 2.50 for a box, I believe. ^_^

    And....if Suncoast sells this. I'mma buy like....100 bucks worth of it on employee discount!!! ...Just like I buy like....7 packs of gum. ^_^

    Those prices are a rip-off!

    Newbury Comics, which is a store sort of like Sam Goody, only their products are way cheaper, sold Pocky for quite a while, and sells it for 2.25.

    Several Korean stores I know sells both Korean and Japanese version of Pocky (There's no real difference, just the name) and the korean one sells for .80, and the same **** they sell at Newbury or Suncoast at 1.50. As for the Yan Yan, same price as the korean pocky.

    And finally, there's this new store opened by a bunch of Japanese guys selling all sorts of Japanese Items, and they sell their Pocky at 1.75 a box.

    Of course it's a rip-off, but it's a corporate chain, meaning that there'll be Suncoasts in a lot of places where there ARE no little anime shops or decent Korean stores.

    Hahaha! Pocky is so overrated! And another thing, you don't need a foreign store to buy them from! You can get em at regular grocery stores, even K-Mart, Wal-Mart, and 7-Eleven.
