About Pocky
In 1922, Japanese company Ezaki Glico Co., Ltd. launched its fortified Glico caramel in a distinctive red box. Forty-four years later (1966), Ezaki Glico released a new product into their family of fine foods—a chocolate-dipped, pretzel-like biscuit stick. Pocky is now selling in about 30 locations around the world.
