Pocky Rocks!
Have people tried the Japanese chocolate treat called Pocky (pronounced pookee)?
It is a biscuit stick coated with chocolate (course now other flavours are available). The wikipedia has an artcile about Pocky.
I'm quite partial to the Strawberry Pockey but the chocolate one is still the best. I also found some funny & weird Japanese Pocky commercials on youtube:

Oh, in the commercials they are saying, "Anata mo watashi mo pocky!" which means "you, I, pocky".

Those Sprite commercials were funny, Amy, but they won't make me switch from drinking Schweppes Ginger-Ale (or Canada Dry ginger-ale). *grin*
I find Pocky to be very tasty and addictive. Once you start munching on the little sticks you go through half of the box before you know it. I buy them at the Chinese Supermarket that's just down the street from me.
One of my favourite cookies is a chocolate wafer roll that melts in your mouth. These cookies are from Malaysia and they come in a large metal tin. Everytime you open the lid, all you can smell is chocolate. I'm not a huge chocolate lover but these cookies are divine.

3/4 of my friends are female. Luckily my wife doesn't mind and besides, 3/4 of her friends are male so fair's fair. I also have two step-daughters, two step-granddaughters and just recently (just over a year now) - two step-great-granddaughters! I'm surrounded by women (which can be good and bad *grin*).

I've had Pockys before... and ITA, they disappear fast!
My favourites are the Kinder chocolates from Germany, though.

I like the milk ones like in the pictures... Drool.... Whenever we go to Europe I pig out on those! You can't get them over here... which is probably a good thing for my waistline!

I usually buy them from the kiosks at my school. You can find Kinder easily here.
Ah, TJ, I'm sure you have another choco delights there so your waistline will not suffer!
