Oh, J7-IL...
I had to look closely where "J7-IL" is on the package and finally found it. It is Japanese character (Katakana), saying "Curl". I was also surprised to find the English name of this snack is actually "Karl" as printed on the package. I have been thinking the name tells the shape of the snack, which is curly and thus the name is "curl". I have no idea where or who did the translation... indeed, lost in translation...
As in the case of Curl (I stick to this name), Pocky has lots of flavors, localy limited edition flavor, seasonal special flavor, and such.
Just don't eat these snacks too much, Filips!

re: Review
I'm a big fan of Cheetos (Cheese Puffs not the Crunchy!) but the new style is kinda weird, the pieces are too big and dries out the mouth too fast. These Meiji Corn Puffs (btw, what the heck is Karl Cheese flavor? ) are pretty good and as you said more na...
I haven't eaten....
Cheetos in a long time because I could never deal with having to clean my fingers and mouth after each bite LOL. I'm definitely going to try out the Banana flavor next! Thanks a bunch for bringing me this great snack! Filip
+1 try the banana ones
Thanks pretty cool of DRMW to share some snacks. It's strange at first but can't stop eating them. Enjoy. Regards, ED-209
It is so nice of you :-)
Yes, Curl has been quite popular since I was little for school excursion and any other snack time. I am glad the taste is universal I also heard that, and I was actually asked to bring back, "Pocky" is pretty big among US kids, too? Thank you for the nice...
Yes!
Pocky snacks are great too! I've tried them before! I really look forward to trying other Meiji snack flavors . The one thing that kind of surprised me is that the opening for the snack is on the back of the bag instead at the top as it is most of the tim...

LOL,
I must say I better take your advice seriously, considering I'm spending most of my time behind the PC it really wouldn't do me well to eat many bags of any snack within a short period of time . I also think that 'Curl' is much more appropriate and obviou...
Love the chocolate ones.
But here in Spain we call them MIKADO. Only chocolate, not strawberry. Vte...
