Well... You know those savoury snacks you can get, usually for parties or Christmas or tings? You can get pretzel-shaped ones, or long thin sticks, and they're glazed with something and sometimes have salt added?
Well, take an unseasoned version of the stick ones, and coat abotu 5" out of 6" with stuff. Strawberry flavoured stuff, in this case - it's sweet, has the texture of cheap white chocolate, and is entirely artifical :)
I've only ever found Pocky in oriental supermarkets - I'd never heard of it until I started wandering into Chinatown for lunch :)
I'm afraid the English way, having seen it written before I'd heard it spoken. Also, "Poo-key" makes me think of Garfield's teddy bear rather than oriental junk food :)
