FR Update - All about Pretz!
Wooo! Friday again! The blog hasn't missed a day yet. Thanks to CP for filling in on Wednesday. I think I might have guest posters every Wednesday. What do you think?Reminder: now showing on Ani-Pock Anime:
Rizelmine Episode 4 [Download/Watch]
Bleach Episode 27 [Download/Watch]
Pita Ten Episode 6 [Download/Watch]
Today on Japanese culutre, we'll look at Pretz, another famous snack from the makers of Pocky!


Now before you say "EWWW! TOMATO!?" I want you to think of Pretz as the salty version of Pocky. I mean if you look at them, they are the biscuit sticks you see in Pocky minus the chocolate coating right?
Pretz is so named because it sorta tastes like a pretzel. But its really got this flavor coating which makes it much better. To say Pretz tasts like a pretzel is unjustified!
Before we take a look at the flavors (there are lots just like Pocky), I want you to watch this Pretz TV ad! (They call it a CM in Japan)

Wacky stuff huh! I'll show you guys some Pocky CM's which are even weirder than this. Ok so lets take a look at the different kinds of Pretz out there. First up is...

Pretz Pizza!! This one is actually pretty good. Although I felt sorta sick after finishing the first pack. I recommend this with Chocolate Pocky. Sweet and salty balance out right? =P Next up is something to go with your pizza...

Pretz Salad! Now this one you can eat more than 1 pack at a time (if you really wanted.) I'm starting to think that you could have a whole meal with Pretz and Pocky. Just think:
A 'slice' of Pretz Piza, a 'bowl' of Pretz salad, and bit of Cheesecake Pocky for dessert! =DDD
If I'm not mistaken... this next one is...

Wow now you really can have a Pocky/Pretz for breakfast too! Pocky Milk flavor + Pretz pancake =D
Ok before I go, I leave you with the latest wacky Pretz CM:

Poll: So now that you know about Pretz, its possible for you to have a complete meal between it and Pocky. So...would you?

What about Calbee?
They have some nice funny Commercials too :)
Heh... I like the one with the guy going to take his exam and he's reviewing his English words... stuff like "fight" and then sees a lot of girls and thinks stuff like "beautiful" and then sees more and thinks "heaven" and then realizes he's in an all girls school about to take the wrong entrance exam... Hahaha!
Umm... It's better if you actually saw 'em :P
Ohyao, Roland-san. E-mail me, dude. I don't know your address!
THE TOMATO ONES ARE THE BEST! If only you could buy LOADS of them at one time.
