Anyone know the shelf life for Pocky?

Somewhere between 10 days and 25 years, I think.

Kind of like Twinkies, eh? XD

Hahahahaha I'd like to know that myself.

I've had Pocky for 2 years before at least. I'm hording some Pineapple Pocky from last A-kon currently. Think it's still good? XD

Are you a Pocky horder too?

I felt kinda silly after making this post, so I'm glad I'm not the only one curious about the shelf life of Pocky. XD I spent, like, 10 minutes turning one of my boxes over and over in my hands the other day, searching for an expiration date.

I'm a Pocky hoarder, too! I bought a whole bunch of boxes at last year's A-kon and completely forgot about them (which is why I made this post). I also bought some of those Panda snacks (forgot their name), but I'm more unsure about eating those since they have a filling rather than a coating like Pocky.

Hahaha, no you are not the only one.

I've done that too!!! I was like WHERE IS IT!?!?!!

I've done that all 3 cons I've been too. I buy tons of it and then don't eat it. I was terriblt at the first A-Kon I went too, 15. I had those for 2 yrs. I threw 'em out right before A-Kon 17. XD I tried to be better at 17 but I still have that darn Pineapple.

Hello Panda's!!! OMG I LOVE those. The Asian Markeet in Corpus had double chocolate ones. I have some right now actually. Yeah those probably don't save as well.

Yes! Hello Panda! Man, that name was on the tip of my tongue, but I just couldn't get it out. I'm definitely visiting the Asian Market one of these days and buying a bunch of boxes. ♥

I've eaten Pocky a whole year past the sell-by and it didn't taste any different. They're foil-wrapped, so they last virtually forever.

Ooooh, this comment is actually really helpful to me since the Pocky boxes I have are about a year old and unopened. So, thank you.

i'm amazed that you even still have pocky from last year....mine didn't even last 2 weeks from when i got home....and i'm sad that i didn't buy any this year because i could of easily freaked out Albert with it, lol. i'm curious to ask...exactly how many boxes do you have left?? i should of bought the huge "damn!" bag that i saw last year....that would have been exciting....but then again, eating pocky is always exciting for me....until i run out!

[ghostdrive.livejournal.com]

Believe it or not, I have ALL my Pocky boxes from last year. I'M LAME FOR FORGETTING IT WAS EVEN ON MY SHELF. [sigh] The only snacks I don't have anymore are those strawberry Hello Panda! ones and those little candy boxes that the ants ate before I could try them. Damn you ants!

Freak out Albert with Pocky? Does he not know what it is, or is he insane crazy about the stuff?

And, you know you're never going to live down that "damn!" moment, right? XD Your excitement over Pocky is awesome, haha.

[grod-8404.livejournal.com]

Yeah Albert doesn't know what it is....he gets weird around my anime stuff, haha! and yes it's sad to know that the "damn!" moment will never go away! :( but that's what i get for getting excited....too....much!

[ghostdrive.livejournal.com]

Then I'm sure he'd be completely freaked out by me. XD
