I think I tried the almond one once. Wasn’t too bad, but it felt too abrasive to me. Those almonds sure are sharp.

Pepero is pretty bland. But it’s a slightly fresher taste than Pocky. Milder flavor. The cracker stick isn’t as dry. Pocky coagulates my saliva, while Pepero leaves it slightly sticky.

Never tried Pretz.

I see Pepero in Korean supermarkets here in the States. Haven’t seen them much elsewhere.

I’ve only seen Pepero in Koreatown. They may be available locally, but I’ve never had the need to search for them.

Around me, there’s probably a Pocky tax. Stores charge $1.19 for the small boxes of Pocky, and either $1.79 or $2.19 for the larger ones. If my school can sell them for $1 in volume, why can’t supermarkets do the same?

mmm i like both. but i looove pepero. i’m prolly being bias because i grew up on it (mom’s korean) but honestly, i have to agree with the fact that it does taste more like food and the cracker/cookie part tastes better. :3

but wow… pocky and pepero is expensive where you live ;__; at the stores near my house the price for pocky ranges between 89 cents and $1.79 (or something like that) and pepero is pretty much never more than 89 cents (the best deal i had was around 70 cents).

hehe i liked this article (i was googling to show my dad a pic of pocky and pepero for when he goes to the store, lol)… thanks! ^___^

You, my friend, have hit the proverbial nail on the head. Pepero is quite clearly the most magnificent chocolate-dipped stick- candy available on the market. One must not be disrespectful to Pocky, the godfather, if you will, but we must acknowledge that Pepero is superior.
