help Pocky Chocolate Cream Covered Biscuit Sticks FAQ
Who makes chocolate Pocky, and when did it start in Japan?
Pocky is made by Ezaki Glico, the Osaka-based Japanese confectionery company. The original chocolate-coated biscuit stick was first sold in Japan in 1966.
Why is one end of a Pocky stick left uncovered?
The plain biscuit handle is part of the design, so you can hold the stick without melting chocolate onto your fingers. That handle is also one reason Pocky was treated as functionally different in U.S. trade dress litigation involving Lotte's Pepero.
How is Pocky different from Lotte Pepero?
Pocky is the older Japanese product from Ezaki Glico, introduced in 1966. Pepero is the similar Korean snack from Lotte, and the two brands have been compared and litigated over because both use chocolate-coated biscuit sticks.
Why is November 11 associated with Pocky?
November 11 is promoted as Pocky and Pretz Day because 11/11 visually resembles rows of snack sticks. The date is also close to Pepero Day in South Korea, which helped make stick-shaped chocolate snacks a seasonal gifting item.
