About Pocky

Pocky is a chocolate-coated biscuit stick released in Japan in 1966, which Glico calls the world's first. One end is left uncoated so chocolate does not get on the fingers. It is made locally in Thailand and by Shanghai Ezaki Glico Foods in China, and sold in Korea through the Glico-Haitai joint venture and in North America through Ezaki Glico USA.
