About Pocky
Pocky Chocolate was first sold in 1966 as the world's first chocolate stick biscuit.
Pocky is so shareable that you’ll want to share it with your friends and family any time, and anywhere. Pocky is all about ‘Share happiness!’ Let’s all share Pocky and bring happiness around the world.
What is 11.11 Pocky day?
Pocky day was established in 2016 as a day to encourage people to start sharing happiness. November 11 was chosen because the shape of the number “1” resembles Pocky’s stick shape.
We hope that Pocky day will become the day not just to think of and appreciate the important people in your life, but the day to take action to make them happy.
