For what used to be difficult to find or limited to ordering from overseas, Pocky is now carried by US grocery stores such as Walmart. Now anyone and everyone can enjoy the Japanese cookie snack.
Pro Widely available
A lot of specialty sodas are region specific but IBC is carried by Walmart and many other national stores meaning it is easy to find no matter where someone lives.
Pro Vanilla cream soda
Some cream sodas have a more cotton candy taste to them, IBC's cream soda is vanilla flavored and is definitely one of the better ones at that.
Cons
Con Some flavors are difficult to find
It can be difficult to find some of the more exotic flavors of Pocky such as the cheesecake or milk flavors.
Con Difficult to find in many countries and expensive to order
Con Sweetened with high fructose corn syrup
Like most main stream sodas IBC uses high fructose corn syrup as its sweetener. Sadly IBC fits more in the market with specialty sodas where sugar is the preferred sweetener, which really keeps them out of the running when comparing to better sugar based sodas.
