Chocolate or Strawberry?

Orange please.
Still remember the cheesy Pocky adverts I grew up with, pretty Japanese gals who can't speak English trying to sound as if they do. Back then there's only chocolate or strawberry flavour to choose between.
Now holy cow, there's green tea, banana, almond, and now orange.


[Wiki: Pocky can be found in dozens of varieties. Such as chocolate, strawberry, and almond. Some of the more unusual flavors include the seasonal flavors of honey (spring) and kiwifruit mango (summer). There is also the bittersweet version of chocolate Pocky called Men's Pocky. There are also regional flavors of Pocky such as grape (Nagano), yūbari melon (Hokkaidō), giant mikan (tangerine, sold in the Kyūshū region), powdered tea azuki bean (Kyoto), Kobe wine (Kobe). There are also such flavors as banana, coffee, caramel, marble royal milk tea, melon, milk, honey and milk, cream cheese, berry, sweet potato, coconut, crush (crunchy cracker pieces in chocolate), pineapple, pumpkin, and hazelnut. Even more flavours include kurogoma (black sesame), kinako (soy bean flour), marron, and green tea.]
