Meiji Fran The Original
Taste test: This box contained three foil packs, each holding four chocolate sticks.
Unlike Pocky, where all of the flavoring is in the coating, the sticks themselves seemed to contain chocolate, in addition to the smooth, thick coating of chocolate that covered all but the last inch of the sticks. They were really good, with a nice soft crunch and lots of delicious milk chocolate taste. Our snackers were impressed. We gave one stick each to a whole bunch of people, and everybody liked them and seemed satisfied eating just one (after drinking some beers and eating a whole bunch of other food).
