Pocky Day Review - Strawberry and Reverse White

Flava: Reverse White
Notes: Reverse white was okay, it kinda tasted like a lite version of an oreo-cookie. I think I am biased against it because the Reverse chocolate is one of my favorites.

The Strawberry Pocky Conundrum
Strawberry pocky is definitely going to be one of the speed bumps on my Pocky Quest. Most of the flavors and boxes are different enough that I can tell them apart and mark them off my list regardless of whether the box is described in Japanese or English.

But there are many kinds of strawberry.

Today I had some kind of strawberry, but I'm not sure which one.

It definitely had strawberry chunks - making it Tsubutsubu Ichigo (crushed strawberry).
The box I had was white with the strawberry chunks on the pocky.

It looks like box #1, but it is white. Box #2 has 40% more bits, and box #3 has 50% more.

Oddly, the inner package doesn't even match the inner package shown on the back of the box.

I know I'm obsessing, but I need to focus if I am to sample every type of Pocky known to man.

Flava: Strawberry bits (?)
Notes: Better than the plain strawberry. Extremely fragrant.
Rating: 6 outta 10.
I'll get to the bottom of this mystery. Happy Pocky Day.
