Pocky

Japanese biscuit sticks

Pocky is a Japanese snack consisting of thin biscuit sticks coated in chocolate or other flavored coatings, leaving one end bare as a handle.

The brand name has become nearly generic for this style of treat.

Pocky features in a flirtatious game where two people nibble from opposite ends of the same stick: We played the Pocky game at the party.
