{{examples}}
== [[Anime]] and [[Manga]] ==
* In both the manga (Chapter 43) and animé (Episode 19) of ''[[Ah! My Goddess]]'', Belldandy attempts a [[Spaghetti Kiss]] on Keiichi with a stick of Pocky... Because [[Cool Big Sis|her older sister]], [[Shipper on Deck|Urd]], secretly fed her a candy that [[Above the Influence|juiced up her libido]].
{{quote|'''Belldandy:''' What are those?
'''Keiichi''' (with a Pocky already in his mouth)''':''' These? Sort of a stick-cookie, dipped in chocolate. They're good!
'''Belldandy:''' I'll think I'll have... [[Erotic Eating|A bit of yours.]] }}
* ''[[Please Teacher!]]'' and ''[[Please Twins!]]'': the aliens ''really'' like them (rendered as "Pochy"), to the point of [[Trademark Favorite Food]].
** It is also a minor plot point, especially {{spoiler|in the end, where Kei keeps a box that Mizuho left behind}}.
* Kagami of ''[[Lucky Star]]'' likes these—although not to the degree of [[Trademark Favourite Food]].
Line 47:
* [[Ho Yay|Lelouch and Suzaku]] once play the pocky game on ''[[Code Geass]]''.
 
== [[Music]] ==
* [[Superchunk]]'s 1991 album is named ''No Pocky for Kitty''.
 
Line 55:
* In ''[[Barkley, Shut Up and Jam: Gaiden]]'' one of the [[Foreign Culture Fetish|pretentious]] [["Stop Having Fun!" Guys|save points]] waxes unpoetical about how pocky is ''clearly'' the best food for gaming.
 
== Webcomics[[Web Comics]] ==
* In ''[[Questionable Content]]'', Hannelore chides Marigold for having a box of Pocky that was ten years old. When Marigold tries to write it off as "vintage," Hannelore shoots back about the rat turds in it.
** Marigold seems to really like Pocky; later when she gets all depressed that Angus doesn't like her that way, she lays in bed eating nothing but Pocky all day. Of course, that might just be a depression thing...
