Pockycaulk Pocky Talk

I coerced my husband into taste-testing the new Pocky with me - he may have been persuaded by the possible allure of thong-flavored snack sticks.

First, we tasted the Pocky, Brazilian Pudding flavor.
I recorded my husband's reactions before I tasted it myself.

Him: I like it! Tastes like flan!
Me: You're just saying that because I said I thought it would taste like flan.

Him: No. Flan. Really - it does! I need more.
Me: Does it taste like thongs?
Him: Huh?
Me: Like ass?
Him: No, I told you. Flan.

Me: Mmm...smells like vanilla.

Him: I really do need more. I need some now.

Me: Wow. I think I better taste this stuff.
Him: OH MY GOD this stuff has MSG in it. No wonder I want more. Really. I really want some more. Can I have some more?
Me: OH MY GOD this tastes like flan!

So...it really does taste like flan. I found one other description of this flavor, and what cracked me up was her issue of texture: Pocky is crunchy and flan is soft.
Umm...Pocky has many 'incongruous' flavors like: milk, milk and honey, green tea, etc...
There is a distinct and lovely taste of burned sugar along with the flan flavor, and other than the MSG factor, it's super yummy. If there was no MSG, I would buy it again.

The 'Pretz Meets Wine' was opened next, after we marveled about how strange it was that this one, a savory flavor, did not list MSG as an ingredient, but the sweet one did contain it.

Him: Wow. Pizza pocky! They pulled it off!
Me: You like it?
Him: LOVE it! Oh wow. That is too good. We have to get a bunch. I wish they had breadsticks like that.
Me: That good?
Him: TRY IT!
Me: I will! I will eat it. Oh you are right. That is really like pizza!
Him: This is what pizza flavored goldfish want to be when they grow up.

So, there you have it.
