I was trying to figure out what to do for the JSFR&#8217;s blogaversary and TheMan suggested he whip up a little blog thing and look!  TADA!<\/p>\n<p>I picked up this tasty new Pocky at the most Korean of Asian Grocery Stores during the after breakfast outing with TheMan and Scott H.  I&#8217;m always amused when I find a new flavor of Pocky because there&#8217;s been what?  About three bazillion flavors so far?  Oh wait, we can look up exactly how many Pocky I&#8217;ve reviewed so far because we have categories now.  Check THAT out!  OK, I&#8217;m still working out the bumps with the new site so give me a bit to get it all settled in but when I do?  It&#8217;ll be awesome!  Or at least very categorific.<\/p>\n<p>Tahitian Vanilla Pocky!  Yum.  This Pocky smells deliciously vanilla right out of the package (and speaking of package, I love the red thing they have going on with the inner wrapper).  My favorite Guinea Pig says it&#8217;s a fruity vanilla but I think it&#8217;s more of a flowery vanilla.  Whatever, it smells really good in an extra vanilla-y way.  Mmmmm. <\/p>\n<p>As far as taste, Tahitian Vanilla really brings on the creamy sweet.  And the vanilla.  Wow.  The vanilla.  I&#8217;m thinking Tahitian vanilla is some sort of vanilla on steroids because it&#8217;s pretty darned vanillatastic.  I&#8217;d say that anyone who thinks vanilla is a mamby-pamby flavor should try one of these.  I&#8217;m a little sad about the thinish coating of Pocky goo but that didn&#8217;t stop the flavor from coming through nice and strong.<\/p>\n<p>The stick is the stick is the stick.  In this case Tahitian Vanilla went with the vanilla grahamish stick.  Nice, simple crunchity.  I liked this Pocky, TheMan liked it, so we put our heads together and decided on a <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/quirkspace.com\/jsfr\/?page_id=2\">rating<\/a> of <strong>4 wasabi peas<\/strong> out of a possible 5 wasabi peas.<\/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":[12,22,21],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-421","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-40-peas","category-pocky","category-sweet"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/quirkspace.com\/jsfr\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/421","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=421"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/quirkspace.com\/jsfr\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/421\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/quirkspace.com\/jsfr\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=421"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/quirkspace.com\/jsfr\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=421"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/quirkspace.com\/jsfr\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=421"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
