Welcome to Pocky Box, the site of absurd opinions with a yummy chocolate crunch! Our goal here at Pocky Box is to provide entertainment that skids on the line of insanity, though serious opinions may surface occasionally. In the interest of keeping with the fine tradition of the Internet, we will try to abstain from serious opinions whenever we can. If it gets out of hand, we will companionate by jettisoning accuracy.

Besides opinions (of which we have many), Pocky Box also stands to showcase works of writing, artwork, music, and whatever other media that is, for whatever reason, not featured on more respectable sites. Pocky Box also features in-depth articles and experiments with topics that can be best summed up in one word: nerd-e-licious.

So kick back, grab a warm Hot Pocket, and snuggle up to the cozy monitor, because this is going to be an experience to remember!*

* experience recollection not a guarantee, especially if inhibited by the consumption of refreshing beverages

Pocky Box History
Pocky Box was first conceived in early 2004, when esteemed opinion maker Chris Zasada (who is NOT in real life, IRS, take note, the Collector, so don’t investigate) decided (why not?) to create a website to express his opinions, which were very important. Inspiration came from such sites as Encyclopedia Obscura and I-Mockery, which looked like fun, so Chris decided to go from there (unfortunately, since that time, I-Mockery posted anti-anime’ propaganda, so they're mean now, but it would be unfair not to mention them).

Chris started the webmaster game years ago with LWC’s Realm of Insanity, which, politely, sucked toilet water, looking a lot like every other personal webpage in the late nineties. Realizing that he wasn’t contributing anything new to the Internet, Chris shut down the site after a year and one thousand hits. Years passed, and production of Pocky Box began.

The original name of the site was Omake Taisen (which translates to “bonus war,” which about summed it all up). From there, the site went into limbo, thanks to school, work, and life in general. After a while, Chris returned to the site, but something was missing.

The problem was that the Omake Taisen direction wasn’t working, meaning there was no direction for the design. A name change was in order, and with it, a new design direction. At first, Chris decided to keep Omake Taisen’s mascot and run with it, naming the site The Cornstalk. Still no inspiration, so yet another redesign was in order. Then, an old joke name took the spotlight: Pocky Box was born.

And so here it is, the world’s first site with outrageous opinions AND a crispy crunch! Enjoy your stay!

What is Pocky?
"What is Pocky?!" You cretin! You should be beaten within an inch of your life! But since we're merciful, we'll give you an answer. Pocky is a Japanese snack that sort of tastes like a chocolate-covered pretzel. Basic Pocky is a thin biscut stick dipped in chocolate, but it comes in many other varies. Pocky is very popular among fans of Japanese animation and is nearly worshiped for its crispy goodness. Check out Japanesesnacks.com for more information on ordering your own box of Pocky.

And before you ask, I named and designed Pocky Box around Pocky and its packaging because it's tasty (the Pocky) and neat.

Site Guide

Content
Used Pocky: Backlogs of update news. Just in case you missed it, you can check here and not have an empty entry in your Pocky Box Obsessive Journal. This also shows the Federal Trade Commission that this isn't some dummy site for stealing credit numbers and selling Viagra, which, by the way, is available at deep discount, as you will be able to see on your next credit card statement.

Pessimistic Politics: We take important political, social, and religious issues, analyze and scrutinize them, and then make a complete mockery out of them. While there are some serious points, like a Will Ferrel comedy, these seem out of place and ill-contrived.

Random Acts of Nerdness: For the nerd in all of us. Articles and features about toys, movies, video games, and other tidbits of geeky goodness.

Special Ingredients: Our special selection of rare herbs and spices combined into a true culinary delight. Actually, we stick all the stuff that we can't fit into the other sections, so this is more of a pot of chili than a fine fillet minion. Mmm, chili...

Literary Works: By sheer fortune in your favor, some of the greatest works of writing the human race has ever produced is available here. Hey, Shakespeare couldn’t get ‘em all.
