Re:In Japan, the Kit Kat Isn’t Just a Chocolate by pbhjpbhj on Wednesday October 24, 2018 @04:18PM (#18295969)
FWIW Pocky are called Mikado in the UK (made under license from Glico by Kraft AFAICT, [0]). They're marketed as quirky [and] Japanese, rather like [1]. But, I think they only do one flavour.

Are the flavoured ones the same thin breadstick with different flavoured coatings? Are they all chocolate based?

To me they're vaguely reminiscent of Corinthians[2], which are rather like the inner part of a kit-kat too. Corinthians used to be served in ice-cream in UK restaurants.
