‘Tis the season to eat Pocky! Celebrate Pocky Day with these amusing (and tantalizing) tweets from Japan!

Of all the holidays all over the world, we’d have to say that Pocky and Pretz Day (usually shortened to just Pocky Day) may be our favorite. Observed each November 11 (or “11/11″—a date which is meant to resemble a bunch of the long, thin snacks standing in a row), Pocky Day is simple and delicious, and Twitter gets filled with awesome, and often hilarious, photos.

Here’s a selection of our favorite 2015 Pocky tweets, beginning with some of the sweet sticks in their natural habitat: scrunched between the pecs of muscular Japanese men!

“It’s after midnight. Today is Pocky and Pretz day. Last year, I held the Pocky straight up and down, but this year I’m raising the difficulty a bit, and just holding them at the tip.”

Of course, we can’t let the men have all the fun…

These students went out and bought 1,111 boxes of Pocky for their classmates. We sure wish we’d gone to school with people this cool!
