An otaku in my Elementary Japanese class practically had a seizure when I told her that I'd never eaten Pocky before. Then she went on a rant about all the amazing flavors until a squid alien busted into the room and molested her with his tentacles.
A few days later I came across a box of Pocky at my local supermarket. I bought it and took a picture of myself eating it; otherwise nobody would actually believe that I'd eaten a box of Pocky.
Suddenly, after only one bite, anime made perfect sense! Before that, I was completely unable to understand the complex array of emotions displayed by Mizuho-sensei.
But I won't buy it again. It's one of those girly snacks that's eaten for taste, not to fill. A legendary eater such as myself could never be satisfied by something that's packaged in a 75 gram box. Maybe I'd approve if the sticks were about three times longer and ten times thicker. Until that happens, if I'm going to spend $2 on candy, I might as well get a "large" bag of M&M's.
