theinfamousj – I think I might have gotten the bigger-sized box, which explains the $4 box.

marvo - Pocky is $2 here. That’s per box. How is it cheaper on the east coast of the US? We are farther from Japan than you are.

theinfamousej – Please don’t tell me Pocky is cheaper there too. I paid four dollars.

marvo - Mmmmm … pocky. All we’ve got here is chocolate. Maybe you get one gold star for living on an insland, but despite my chocolate-only-having oriental (their term, not mine) supermarket, I’ve still got cheaper prices on Herbal Essences and more flavors of Method bathroom cleanser.

gko – Actually, Shirokiya is where I picked up the Black Black Gum, along with some Strawberry Pocky. Oh man, I have to find Super Black gum at Shirokiya.

Holy crap, it’s caffienated? Never knew that when I tried it years ago. I just remembered it as that menthol-flavoured gum; which other than the novelty of being SUPERDUPERHAPPYFUNTIMEMINTY™ was nothing special.

Must mean Lotte’s Super Black gum contains pure crack cocaine.

Shopping tip for the other Hawai’i folk, Shirokiya sells BlackBlack now & then.

How does one get “Hi-technical excellent taste and flavor”? Thats all I’m asking, as for the color, kinda weird those japanese are to like to chew black gooey looking things in their mouths.. ah how culture-clashing societies percieve things… or maybe its just me.

I blame Jean Claude vandamme’s acting abilities for my burnt lunch today.
Someone had The street fighter or mortal kombat movie on today, and I was enthralled at how crappy acting still gets multi-kajillion dollar contracts.

I burnt my tofu. :(

Ken – You’re welcome. Have fun.

Wired – Holy crap! That cocktail could possibly kill me or allow me to watch the all the Star Wars and Lord of the Rings trilogies back-to-back.

We found that a cocktail of NoDoze washed down with a cold Pepsi mixed with instant coffee could eke out a few more hours from a sleep deprived body. Now, we can chew BlackBlack too, and maybe get an hour or two more. Thank you marvo, for this review!

I have finally found my true calling: to eat this caffeinated gum. Bless you Marvo, for showing me that I do indeed have purpose.
