My daughter told me that November 11th is Pocky's Day.
Have you ever heard of the word Pocky's Day?
I am going to talk about what her classmates including her did on the day, but first, let me explain Pocky because I think that tons of people do not know what Pocky is.
Pocky is a stick-like biscuit with its two-thirds coated with chocolate. No doubt that Pocky is popular among kids in Japan. Grown-ups also like it because it is various regarding the chocolate taste; some have bitter-taste chocolate, which is my thing since it goes well with beer as well as wine.
November 11th is named Pocky's Day because of the similarity of their shapes; 1111 likes like four sticks of Pocky. I do not completely agree with the way to coin, but anyway, the day is likely to be accepted among teenagers.
Aside from the naming, what impressed me is a surprise performance by all peers in the class of her middle school on Pocky's day. It seems like that they stood up suddenly during society class, did a one-minute dance of Pocky (which is also known in Japan), and sit down as if nothing had happened.
I feel sorry for the teacher. If I were in the position, it is hard to say about my response to their unexpected dance. I would freak out because I would think how badly they teased me. Another surprising me is that the teacher showed nothing after the performance and continued the class as usual. On top of that, my daughter said that her classmates did nothing special after that, either.
I am not sure which response is intuitive, e.g., bursting into laughter, just smile, angry, ignorance. Anyway, to me, both look cool on the Pocky's day.
This event will remind me of their surprise performance whenever I eat Pokcy.
