November 11, Pocky Day In Japan

In Japan, "Pocky Day" on November 11th has become a hugely popular unofficial national day of celebration for the famous Japanese chocolate sticks made by the food company Glico headquartered in Osaka. Pocky was first sold in 1966, and were invented by Yoshiaki Koma. Why its Pocky day? Because the sticks are like the number "1". So the 11th day of the 11th month of the year became Pocky Day. The word "pocky" comes from the Japanese onomatopoeia, - pokkin ポッキン the sound of something long broken in two.
