And you won't get tariff taxed from items coming in from Japan?

If you're talking about pocky, they arn't that good. I grew up eating that stuff. They're just cracker stick with flavored syrup. A lot of the other snack like japanese candies and stuff arn't that good either, they're just overrated by all these anime fans trying to be hardcore "anime otakus" or whatever.

You know, if you aren't going to be the least bit constructive in your comments, why bother? Besides, I know plenty of non anime fans who like the stuff too. It's amusing to see people who ask me where to get it when I bring it to work and pass it around.

I find the Mousse Pocky to be darn tasty. I'm even more inclined to try the ones with the bits of dried fruit, like the Tsubu Strawberry. I've had some with the dried bits of orange mixed into the chocolate IIRC, but that's been discontinued. Sad

Anyway, I don't know of any specific CDN stores that sell J Snacks online, but I'm sure you'll get your "fix" anyway. Smile

well even if you know a good online store from the USA that ships to canada, send it to me, I will take my chance Smile

I did try to buy from Otaku Grocerystore well not a very good experience from them, I waited a month and my stuff didn't ship yet, so I asked for a update on my order, no reply, after a week I asked for a refund, no reply, waited another week, sent another email, no reply, took me 5 weeks before I got my money back and they still didn't tell me why my order was taking so long or why there was no replies to my emails oh well

but I don't want to just try Pocky, but tons of other stuff like Ramune drinks


edit, I just tried to look at otakugrocery.com and its been suspened!

Flavored syrup? You just described something that isn't Pocky unless you've been eating them melted, which, if that was the case, would be kinda nasty.
