\nLet’s step away from the J-List deluge for some more locally purchased snacks. Believe it or not, I found this new flavor of Lucky Stick at the local quasi upscale grocery store and even though I still had a ton of snacks at home, I picked this up. But of course, how could I not after reviewing Lucky Stick chocolate cream<\/a> and Lucky Stick strawberry cream<\/a>? I thought I had the Neapolitan triumvirate at last. Then when I went to photograph my JSFs I noticed that I hadn’t gotten Lucky Stick milk cream like I had thought (and the picture on the package had lead me to believe) but that I had picked up cappuccino<\/i> cream. FanCAY!<\/p>\n

Although I gotta say the package photo of the Lucky Sticks make them look a whole lot more contrasty than the actual Lucky Sticks are. For once my photographic skills are true and the sticks are really sort of a tan coffee color on a tan chocolaty stick. Hrmph.<\/p>\n

However! They aren’t a bad tasting tan coffee colored cappuccino pocky-a-like. They are sort of mildly coffee flavored with a pleasant milkiness from the white chocolate coating. Much like one would expect a cappuccino to taste, save a little light on the coffeeness. I’m used to a more “COFFEE” taste in my cappuccino and these sticks are rather more “…coffee?” in their interpretation but at least Meiji started with a decently good coffee.<\/p>\n

The only downside is the stick. It’s not as flavorful as a Pocky stick, which would have really complemented the cappuccino taste well. Instead, the Lucky Stick stick has a poor quality graham taste to them which leaves one wanting for a little tastier grahamesqueness. The chocolate Lucky Stick is slightly better but the cappuccino stick is above and beyond the strawberry stick. If I quartered peas, I’d give Lucky Stick (cappuccino cream) a 3.75 pea rating, knocking off a quarter pea for the humdrum stick, but I do not divide my ratings that finely. I will have to go with a 3.5 rating with a phantom quarter extra pea point which will have to be mentally added.<\/p>\n

Rating<\/a> of 3.5 Wasabi Peas<\/b> out of a possible 5.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[11,15,22,21],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1061","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-35-peas","category-coffee","category-pocky","category-sweet"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/quirkspace.com\/jsfr\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1061","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/quirkspace.com\/jsfr\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/quirkspace.com\/jsfr\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/quirkspace.com\/jsfr\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/quirkspace.com\/jsfr\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=1061"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/quirkspace.com\/jsfr\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1061\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1063,"href":"https:\/\/quirkspace.com\/jsfr\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1061\/revisions\/1063"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/quirkspace.com\/jsfr\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=1061"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/quirkspace.com\/jsfr\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=1061"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/quirkspace.com\/jsfr\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=1061"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
