There’s nothing kawaii about Pocky. Skinny, dark-chocolate covered bread sticks. Big deal. Popteen’s Decopocky on the other hand…that’s a whole different kind of Pocky. For one, it’s entirely endorsed by teen magazine Popteen and Japan’s cutest female idols. It’s also 100% customizable and you can add your own pearls, hearts, ribbons and flowers — probably the same kind professional patisserie chefs use to make fancy cakes. Hence the name, ‘Decopocky.’

Would you eat Decopocky?
