POCKY: The fattening treat

Men's Pocky

I’ve always wondered about Pocky. Especially this one. MEN”S POCKY. what the hell were they Japanese thinking? Or what were the Translators thinking? I can’t speak a nipple of Japanese, so I dun know if it is translated right. But Men’s Pocky? and it looks like A MANS POCKY. >.<

I really hate the name. But I really like the pocky. Men’s pocky tastes better than the milk chocolate one. It’s less sweet. Maybe hat’s why it’s for guys. I mean, guys typically don’t like super sweet shit. or do they? I don’t. But according to most people, if you took a survey of guys I shouldn’t be counted in it since I am beyond asshole.

anyway.

Pocky is fattening as hell. That’s prolly why we have so many overweight anime watchers. They sit there eating pocky all day long and shit thinking that they are really doing something AMAZING! “LOOK DUDE I AM EATING POCKY NOW I AM JAPANESE!” that’s dumb as hell. I bet Japanese people don’t even eat as much pocky as we do. maybe they do. But they don’t seem to be treating it like it’s some kind of God and shit.

 

I can’t tell you how many times I been to a store where they have pocky and I see Otaku’s gathering around it like it’s a shrine to fuckin buddha. “all praise the Pocky God.” What’s even more ludicrous is that if an anime person hasn’t had pocky before, another Otaku will say something like “YOU HAVEN’T HAD POCKY BEFORE?” which is dumb as hell. firstly, how many Japanese people you know have eaten an Almond Joy or a Babe Ruth? Just cuz people watch anime and shit don’t mean that they pray to the pocky god…. damn.

You know what? it’s prolly better that they don’t eat the shit because it is fattening as hell! I mean look at this shit. 15% fat in 20 sticks. 30% saturated fat 11% Carbs 14g of suger in just 20 sticks. If you eat a box or two you might as well go eat a hamburger at McDonalds and shit. AT least you might get a FEW vitamins out of it and not feel like you wanna tvomit your stomach out from eating too much damned suger and fat and carbs. FUCK!

 

 

Pocky nutrition facts

 

I mean, I admit to being an Otaku and all. And I eat it and shit. But damn. I mean should I? I went to ACEN with Rodrian this past weekend, and is it me? or did Otaku’s get fatter? Ramen is another thing that is fattening as hell. I just remembered because we saw some Ramen peoples walking around… dressed as Ramen. I’ll post about that some other time.

Anyway. The point of this post is that A) they need to change the name of Men’s Pocky. It spawns too many Yaoi Jokes. And B) there need to be a movie called Pocky Size me, going through the ills of anime people sitting on their asses eating pocky all day long. I’m not fat. but if I keep eating the food that anime peeps say is real food… then I will be fat as hell. But maybe I’ll be less of an asshole too.

SHit, this post was boring. But shit, boring posts happen = BPH
