I have reached Yuki nirvana
I had the cookies and cream ones and the banana chocolate, which are probably my favorite at the moment, but I can only get them either online or at Mitsuwa, which is in Chicago. We only have the regular and strawberry here.

No one simply walks out from Seven Eleven without bringing Pocky.

Number 1111 'Pocky train' departs Osaka Station at 11:11 a.m., Nov. 11

OSAKA -- A train with the vehicle number "1111" left Hankyu Osaka-Umeda Station in this western Japan city's Kita Ward at 11:11 a.m. on Nov. 11 (11/11) -- creating a departure comprising a series of 12 "1" digits, which look like the popular Japanese stick-shaped chocolate snack "Pocky."
Although the railway industry is enduring a stagnant period due to the new coronavirus outbreak, a spokesperson for Hankyu Corp. said that they hope the train's departure "will make people smile and feel happy."
The 8-car local train bound for Kobe-Sannomiya Station in Kobe's Chuo Ward uses a 1000 series model train which originally debuted in 2013, and was introduced to the line in August 2017. Since 2017, the train has departed from Osaka-Umeda Station at 11:11 a.m. on Nov. 11 each year. According to a spokesperson, the event was originally planned by a person in charge of train operations; it was not advertised to the public and barely known about even within the company.
However, the eccentric event gradually became known primarily among railway fans on the internet. A picture taken of the train together with four Ezaki Glico Co. stick-shaped "Pocky" snacks brought it wider attention. In Japan, Nov. 11 is referred to as "Pocky & Pretz day," the latter being a stick-shaped salty snack. The 1111-number train is nicknamed the "Pocky train" by railway enthusiasts.
Hankyu wants to continue holding the annual event as long as it does not affect general operations. A spokesperson said, "We would be happy if we could continue to provide something fun to talk about."
