Glico has teamed up with Lucasfilm to create several Star Wars products. We'll be taking an in-depth look at them this week. First up is this Darth Vader Pocky. It's just strawberry Pocky with a picture of Darth Vader on the cover. I'd always thought that Darth Vader's lightsaber was pink because girls like pink and are evil, but it turns out that Darth Vader was nuts about strawberries, I guess. It reads, "Deliciousness is power!" The box is nice and reminds you that Star Wars was pretty "radical." Then you flip it over to realize it is promoting the prequels.
Where's Jar Jar! Clearly the art designers at Glico are idiots, right? But the plastic bag inside is kind of cool.
Lightsabers, Pocky, and strawberries floating through space. I'm sure Mr. George Lucas sometimes gets fed up with the world he has created, but every once in awhile a great product like this is created. He must be thinking, "It's all worth it," and, "I
am a modern day Jesus
," right about now.
