I’m not sure I really understand the “festive” theme of this Pocky. I’m not entirely sure that I understand the flavour either. Without looking at the package, if I was to describe these I would say they’re some kind of creamy fruit flavour, likely a berry. There’s nothing about them that makes me feel like the festive season, unless they’re referring to a Thai festive season that I’m not as familiar with (since these are from Thailand). I’m not familiar with any Thai festival this time of year, and it would be a very odd coincidence since these seem to be a limited time Pocky sold in December.
The other odd thing on the package is the macarons. How they tie into the festive season I’m even more confused about. Maybe they tie into a Thai holiday that I don’t know about, but that seems kind of unlikely since they’re French cookies. As far as the Pocky themselves, if you over think it one might argue that these taste like fruity macarons, but it’s a bit of a stretch. They don’t have the same kind of crunch, and frankly the flavour of macarons can be anything, so one could argue that almost any Pocky kind of tastes like a macarons.
It’s not that I disliked these Pocky. The fruity flavour was nice enough, although I would have preferred if they focused on one berry as opposed to a mix. Or even if each Pocky had a different berry flavour, that would be amazing. The texture was nice as well, Pocky seems to have mastered the perfect blend of chocolate coating to cookie. I don’t think it really feels like I’m eating a macarons, but it does feel like a nice fruity Pocky.
The theme of these Pocky is a little confusing. It could be that I’m missing one cultural detail that would clear it all up, but for now I don’t really get it. Fortunately it’s still a tasty Pocky and if you find some this holiday season, give them a try.
