What is Pocky Box?
Pocky Box is best described as an absurd conundrum with a yummy chocolate crunch! Our purpose is to provide entertainment that skids on the line of insanity, though you are warned you might encounter a thought that bares some semblance of mattering. 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 compensate by jettisoning accuracy.
Because the Internet already has a fine stock of pseudo-political blather, Pocky Box also offers works of a variety 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 eloquently as thus: nerd-e-licious.
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 pollute the Internet create with another stream of human perspective.
So kick back, grab an unhealthy foodstuff of your choosing, and snuggle up to the cozy monitor, because this is going to be an experience to remember!*
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.

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 very popular among fans of Japanese animation and is worshiped for its crispy goodness. You too can acquire this treat at AsianSnacktime.com, our benefactor of cheap Japanese goodies.
And before you ask, I named and designed Pocky Box around Pocky and its packaging because it's tasty (the Pocky) and neat.

Can I submit an article to the site?
While we prefer to seize all of the glory for ourselves, we most certainly won't turn away a chance to showcase great writing. Just send it in and we'll take the time to brutally mock it.
Why are updates so infrequent?
We assure you the full responsibility lies with life. As we are not paid for this, writing for Pocky Box is a twisted hobby akin to masochism. It also means as things get busy in other areas of our writers' lives, they can't always produce the unsurpassed literary miracles that are posted on this site in a timely matter. Brilliance takes time! So does looking up naked pictures on the Internet. Sometimes we are forced to choose.
I am very offended by something you wrote! How do I get you to take that offensive trash off the site?
While we are dedicated to speak of topics that may, at times, deal with something related to the world, if there's something we can't tolerate, it's the thought of the Internet offending someone. If you would like to avoid feeling offended, please contact with our administrator here. If you require more immediate, tangible results, contact our administrator's assistant here.
