According to Glico, the "Pocky Midi [Pottori Chocolat]" is two-thirds the length of a regular Pocky, and is about twice as thick in diameter, which gives it a different texture from previous Pocky products.
But is there really any change in texture just by changing the thickness and length? Doesn't this make you wonder?
If you are curious, you should try it. We decided to take the role of a person from the Chubu to Kyushu/Okinawa area and try it right away.
Comparing the appearance of the new Pocky with that of the old one!
The new Pocky is characterized by being "shorter and thicker. They are "chunky" as if they were crushed by putting weight on them from above.
Check out the cross section of Pokkiri Chocolat! -It was really two layers!
To see how thick it has become, I cut it open and looked at the cross section. I cut it and looked at the cross section to see how much thicker it was.
However, the new Pocky is not just thicker. The chocolate in the previous Pocky was one layer, but the new thicker Pocky has two layers! You can enjoy two different textures in one Pocky. The thicker Pocky has a more intense chocolate flavor. It seems that the chocolate, the key ingredient of Pocky, has been given the special attention it deserves this time!
I actually tried it!
Since they are thicker than conventional Pocky, each piece is more satisfying. When eating them at the office, you can eat them without worrying about your surroundings because they do not make a "popping" sound like conventional Pocky. They are good Pocky to keep in your desk.
■ As an aside...
Now, there is another important role of Pocky, and that is the "Pocky Game". Pocky is not only a food, but also a bridge to connect love. Now, is the new product "Pocky Midi [Potteuri Chocolat]" suitable for the Pocky game?
First, we tested it with a regular Pocky. Because of its length, there is a sense of tension when approaching.
On the other hand, in the pocky game using "Pocky Midi [Potteuri Chocolat]," the game ends in an instant. Or perhaps it is no longer a game. From the start, the faces are very close.
If you want to feel the excitement of the kiss, use the usual Pocky. When you don't want to be rushed and rushed, you can use "Potteri Chocolat".
