    My local asian grocery have them for $12.50

      Yeah but there's no way you can return or get credit if chopsticks are DOA

      Also not possible to find which grocer has stock

      • capslock janitor on 24/01/2021 - 10:51

        which is best grocer?

      • ramboando on 25/01/2021 - 09:39

        If a product is faulty the retailer has an obligation to refund you under consumer law. Why would cheap plastic/wooden chopsticks be DOA anyway?

        • neonlight on 25/01/2021 - 09:48

          When the paint comes off straightaway don;t think you can claim anything from Asia Grocers. You can try, its a waste of time

          • ramboando on 25/01/2021 - 12:00

            @neonlight: Threaten to report them to Fair Trading and/or ACCC. That usually works.

            It's should be no skin off their nose as they can return it to their supplier.

            • neonlight on 25/01/2021 - 13:45

              @ramboando: Except next time you will be remembered they are unlikely to deal with you. And then who knows if they bring the Asian gang and bikies and raid your home

              • ramboando on 25/01/2021 - 16:45

                @neonlight: That's fine there's plenty of Asian stores around 🤷🏻‍♂️

    • puan123 on 24/01/2021 - 17:45

      Which grocery, want to get one

      You're not meant to bite the chopsticks though.

      • edgar28 on 23/01/2021 - 20:02

        Yes, but many children chew over the chopsticks (3 years old)

    Thanks for this, I totally want some pocky chopsticks!

  • 87percent on 23/01/2021 - 17:33

    These are likely the rubbish ones made in Thailand. You want the made in Japan ones

    • kerfuffle on 23/01/2021 - 17:38
      +9

      Can confirm made in Thailand

    • YadaYadaYada on 23/01/2021 - 19:55

      Where can you get the Japanese made ones?

      • kerfuffle on 23/01/2021 - 21:06
        +6

        Usually the Asian grocery shops in the CBD will have them. If you're in Sydney, there's two shops that specialise in Japanese groceries - Conveni8 in Pitt St and Maruyu in Kent St

      • [Deactivated] on 23/01/2021 - 21:58

        No need to go to cbd, most Asian stores will have them but they usually stock both Thai and Japanese ones, you have to check the packaging and price

        • neonlight on 24/01/2021 - 00:01

          Not all Thai ones are always at Daiso. Asian grocers the Jap ones are double if not triple the price

    • kandaichus on 23/01/2021 - 22:43

      What are the main differences between the made in Thailand vs made in Japan ones?

        nothing. sugar is sugar. some say there is a difference, but that is not true, if anything there is a 0.000000000001% difference.

        • MasterScythe on 24/01/2021 - 10:40

          Depends how good your taste is I guess.

          Last time I actually asked the company, there was a difference in oil, and flour used in the biscuit.

          Some people can tell the difference between oils very easily, some can't.

            @MasterScythe: I don't think I ever seen a JP Pocky. Only the Thai ones. Tastes all the same I reckon

              @limucat: I don't understand your statement sorry.

              If you've never seen Japanese pocky, how can you have an opinion on whether they "all taste the same" ?

              Doesn't that mean you haven't had the opportunity to compare?

    • garmibear on 24/01/2021 - 23:42

    • neonlight on 28/01/2021 - 14:21

      If it's made in Japan it will be triple if not double the price.

      Anyhow today I found out Daiso is ripping us off on Pockly you can get the same from Coles also Thailand made for less

    My wife was obsessed with Pocky and we would have to go to the Glico store in the Tokyo Train Station and she would buy 10x boxes of those giant rainbow ones and she told me to carry 5 so “she doesn’t look greedy” 😂😂😂

      Makes this multipack pretty poor value then.

      • neonlight on 24/01/2021 - 00:04

        That's with no chopsticks that's what the deal is about….

        • bmerigan on 24/01/2021 - 13:50

          $3 for plastic chopsticks which reportedly the paint wears off very quickly.
          Fair enough though, seems to have fans.

    Fyi not worth it if you just wanna get the chopstick. The brown paint on mine peels off really easily. It wont be pocky anymore after the choco paint is all peeled off

  • sakurakiks on 26/01/2021 - 16:20

    Got a box, the verdict is: not worth.
    Chopsticks were very disappointing - expected a round pocky shape like the large image on the box, but it was just a cheap beige standard pair with some brown painted on. If you placed it out in front of someone they wouldn't even recognise that it was pocky.
    No need to go out of your way to get these I'd say, even something from the dollar store or daiso will look much nicer/cuter/better quality.
