[Rat Diva]

You know that what you eat you are

Let's face facts, Pocky is great, but it's a cookie.

[Detroit Hoser]

And...truffles. Yum.

[Jaglavak]

We seem to have a truffle steamroller going.

[Borborygmi]

I give espresso truffles five drooling Homers.

Where's the love for Pocky in this?

And that's where you're wrong. Again.

It's a stick shaped cooking dipped in something. How is this inaccurate?

I'm not denying it's delicious and I'm glad it made it this far. I nominated Pocky (expecting it to get slapped down like caramel apples )

But, it's a cookie.

[Idle Thoughts]

If anything, it's a wafer or grain stick.

[Idle Thoughts]

Cookies are round and flat and usually circular.

Cover says biscuit stick.

You understand that in the whole non American world biscuit = cookie right? Your evidence supports my argument. It's on the box.

I agree with you on this but too my mind it seems in opposition to your defense of chocolate covered pretzels.

I am vast, I contain multitudes.

Also, cookies are a separate poll. Pretzels are not.

I'd never heard of Pocky until now, so I voted for eSpresso Truffles, but I don't really care for them.

This is completely out of my practice (see peanut brittle and whatever else I abstained from), but I like to be capricious. It's slimming.



IMO, Pocky has strayed into baked good territory. Choc covered pretzels are slightly less egregious in this, but they, too, are not candy.
