Glico Pocky Chocolate Banana



Wow, taste like banana! Wasn't expecting it to taste like this or that close to banana. Banana isn't my favorite flavor but it is pretty tasty. If you like banana then you should enjoy this. I can feel the burn on my tongue though but I have a hard time eating banana's with out feeling like i have acid on my tongue.

Lucia Thai Tea

You ever get a Thai ice tea in the restaurant. Well this is a great alternative if you don't know how to make it authentically. The can is large and give you lots of drink. I you leave it in the fridge or pour it over ice, or both is probably better. Great color and it is like Thai Ice tea, probably as close as you can get to it in a can. Shake it up as well. If you are craving that taste then I would recommend it, 320 calories for the can and 22% of your total carbs right there though.

Glico Pocky Cookies and Cream


These are delicious! They have chocolate sticks that are dipped and creamy milk with more cookie crumbs in it. It is a pleasure to eat these and I enjoyed them quite a bit more then regular chocolate. They are the same size as the other Pocky but just much more tasty. Nice and sweet.



Get these!!!!!!!

Glico Pocky Strawberry

Ezaki Glico Co. is the company that is behind the Pocky snacks! Pocky was a gateway Japanese Snack for me back in the day. The headquarters are located in Osaka, Japan. Glico is derived from Glycogen, and the first candy produced was Glico Caramel. It had enough calories in it to run 300 meters which is also why the Glico 300 meter running man became the trademark. Pocky is chocolate covered pretzel sticks and the amount of flavors are vast. They took the popular Pretz sticks and decided to coat them in chocolate. They use to do this by hand until it was to much to do manually and thus it was automated.

These a great snacks and was really my first Japanese/Asian snack food that I tried back in 2006. It was my gateway snack as you can call it and probably the same for a lot of others. Pocky was a phenomenon at anime conventions I remember and people still "cosplay" as boxes of their favorite Pocky. Most people I know love the chocolate ones but I am a strawberry all the way. It is easy to get through a box of these and they are easy to eat with hands or no hands as well. The variety of flavors are outrageous and I will have more to review yet. If you are looking for simple flavor and not expensive like some of the other ones, strawberry is the way to go. It has the taste of strawberry chocolate on this pretzel stick that "snaps" in your mouth when you bight down on it. I even leave a few boxes in my desk drawer at work to snack on while writing up a report.
I recommend Strawberry Pocky for sure, grab some!!!!

Caravelle Black Coffee French Style Canned

 photo IMG_4073_zpsd8f07bdd.jpg  photo IMG_4074_zpse31ec471.jpg

Here is more Caravelle product drinks! Here we have Cafe Den which is canned coffee but French Style. This canned coffee was not to creamy (sorry for the lack of a glass picture to see the actual beverage). It wasn't bad but there was nothing really memorable about it at all. Get your calories and some carbs from it and that's about it. It was a bland canned coffee and I am a big fan of canned coffees. I can't remember how many I have received on here so far. 
One other beverage that I have drank from this company is the Mandarin Float drink which was not to bad, check that out here. 
There are sure to be other canned coffee's where you could find this one, my suggestion is try another one. It couldn't hurt and maybe it will be better!

Taste Nirvana Tisanes Thai Tea



 photo IMG_3884_zps46556760.jpg  photo IMG_3887_zpsfdfb6be8.jpg  photo IMG_3886_zpsa3d4c17b.jpg

It has a nice taste. I know I can enjoy this right off the bat with the first sip. I recommend cold or maybe even pour it into a glass with some ice in it. Little sweet but not bad flavor, they used natural cane sugar. This taste a lot like a Thai tea you get at a restaurant sometimes even better. Plenty of liquid in the can, 16.2 FL.OZ. Tisanes means herbal. There is a little over 300 calories for the can at 24% your saturated fat probably from the milk. That gives you 12% of your calcium. That is 48 grams of sugar for the can. Still delicious and I would grab it again

Want some?
