Ro: Hi guys it’s Ro, today I’m here with my friend TJ.
TJ: Hey what’s up? Ro: He does music, gaming and highway sing alongs!
TJ: Yeah! Ro: They’re pretty cool, I’ll put his links down below so if you
Ro: want to go check out his YouTube channels. And, we got so many requests
Ro: from you guys to play the Pocky Challenge. TJ: Yeah!
Ro: Have you ever had Pocky? TJ: Yes, I’ve had Strawberry Pocky once upon a time.
Ro: That’s my favorite! TJ: Yeah? Ro: Yeah! TJ: Cool!
Ro: If you guys are not familiar with the Pocky Challenge, it is super simple,
Ro: we had our friends go out and pick out a ton of different flavors of
Ro: Pocky. And we are gonna taste them, but we are gonna be blindfolded!
TJ: Wha-pschhh! Ro: And then we’re gonna taste them, try to guess the flavor,
Ro: and if we guess the flavor, we get a point. Ding-ding-ding!
TJ: This is gonna be challenging, I don’t… I only know that one flavor.
Ro: Me too! TJ: And I don’t remember what it tastes like.
Ro: Alright, are you ready? TJ: I’m ready, you ready?
Ro: Alright, this is may the best Pocky… Taste… Tester…
Both: Win!
Ro: Good sportsmanship! TJ: Good luck!
Ro: Alright, let’s put on these blindfolds. I had to tie mine, because my head’s small!
TJ: Oh, gotta, gotta keep the hair looking fly! I can do this.
Ro: Yeah, TJ, don’t mess up your hair! TJ: What? Can't mess up! Ro: You got some good looking hair!
TJ: I just put some Palmade in it!
Ro: Alright, ready for our first one? TJ: Let’s do it!
Ro: Oooh! They’re in a box, we gotta open these.
Ro: Gotta figure this out. TJ: What? We have to open the box?
Ro: Yeah. TJ: What? I thought the challenge was to know the flavors… It’s a.
Ro: OK, so we gotta open this now. TJ: OK.
Ro: OK, one, two… There we go! There we go!
Ro: Oh I can smell these!
Ro: Oh it smells good! OK let’s taste it.
Ro: Mmmmm! Mmmmm-mmmm-mmmmm! TJ: I recognize the smell.
Ro: I think I know what this is because I eat this fruit every other day!
TJ: Really? Ro: Mmmhmm. TJ: Yeah, it’s kind of a fruity smell, it’s kind of like
TJ: sweet and citrus-y. Ro: Mmmhmm! Mmmhmm! TJ: Mmmhmm.
Ro: Oh these are so good! Ok, I gotta stop, I’m gonna do one more bite.
Both: One, two, three… Banana!
Ro: Huh! TJ: Chocolate Banana! Ro: Did you taste chocolate? TJ: Not really!
Ro: I only tasted the banana and I only smelled the banana, so, do we get
Ro: a half a point? TJ: How does that work? Ro: Because it’s chocolate banana?
TJ: I say we should get a half a point.
Ro: Half a point for each of us. Ding-ding!
TJ: Oooooh! Ro: It’s really sweet. TJ: Ooooh yeah!
Ro: Mmmm that smells good. Alright I’m gonna taste.
TJ: Mmmm this smells really good! Ro: Mmmmm!
TJ: So I’m kind of getting, like a little bit reminiscence of the previous one.
Ro: OK from now on. TJ: Yeah. Ro: We’ll cleanse our pallets. TJ: Oh!
Ro: In between each tasting. TJ: That’s important.
Ro: Because that’s what like, fancy people do. TJ: Right!
Ro: Ok, what are you leaning towards?
TJ: I’m leaning between vanilla and cinnamon. I think more towards vanilla. Ro: Hmmm.
TJ: Oh what about like, uh, Oreo kinda thing? Ro: Oh yeah!
TJ: You know how Oreo kind of combines vanilla and chocolate kinda thing?
Ro: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah!
Ro: Oh my gosh I got an idea. TJ: OK what’s that?
Ro: OK I can’t tell you, are you ready? TJ: What!?!?
Ro: Let’s guess because… TJ: I just told you my guesses!
TJ: She stole my guesses! Ro: Wait, wait!
TJ: She would have no idea if I hadn’t told her my guesses!
Ro: I’m thinking… TJ: Like a cookie dough kind of thing? Ro: Cookie dough!
TJ: Is that what you’re thinking? Ro: Yeah! TJ: Mmmmmmm.
TJ: I think you’re… Ro: And then the chunks are chocolate chips.
TJ: I think you’re right about that.
TJ: Thank you for sharing your an…. Your guesses with me.
Ro: OK, we’ll share this round. TJ: OK.
Ro: OK, are you ready we can guess?
TJ: I’m ready. Ro: Are you sure? TJ: I think so.
Ro: Are you still taste testing over here? TJ: What? No!
Both: One, two, three.
Ro: Chocolate chip cookie dough. TJ: I’m just gonna go cookie dough.
TJ: What do we got? Do we take the blindfolds off?
Ro: Oh my gosh! TJ: Oreo? Cookies and cream! I was so close!
Ro: We were just talking about that. You were just talking about cookies and cream!
TJ: Gotta stick with my own… Ideas. Ro: Yeah, don’t come over here.
Ro: TJ, did I tell you that I lose most of these challenges?
TJ: Yeah you did tell me, I shouldn’t listen to you.
Ro: OK, he’s been warned!
Ro: Alright got some waters.
TJ: Got some water, alright, here, cleansing the pallet Ro: Yes cleanse the pallet. TJ: like a posh Pocky Connoisseur!

Ro: It smells like one thing, tastes like a totally different.
Ro: Are you ready to guess? TJ: No! Ro: Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!
Ro: Which sense do I trust? TJ: Smell! Ro: Do I go with what it smells like?
TJ: Smell is… Ro: Or do I go with the sense of what it tastes like. TJ: Smell.
Ro: Smell? TJ: Yeah. Because this smell is the strongest thing with all of the
TJ: ones we’ve done so far.
Ro: Agh! But it tastes like, ach!
Ro: Alright. TJ: I got it! I just remembered, I finally remembered the thing, ha-ha-ha!
Ro: You remembered? TJ: I remembered it!
Both: One, two, three…

Ro: It happens… TJ: I’m just saying.
TJ: Alright, I think we’re onto number 4 now. Ro: Mmmhmmm.
TJ: What? Ro: Whoa! TJ: That is really different.

Ro: Ohhhh! I love it!
Ro: It’s got some texture, it’s dipped and has texture, and, it smells like one
Ro: of my favorite flavors. But I don’t know if it’s more complex.
TJ: Very interesting. Ro: Yep. TJ: It’s kind of a woods-y taste…
TJ: If we’re gonna be posh Pocky Connoisseurs!
Ro: The only reason I know this is because I love this drink!
TJ: Apparently this drink is… What is it like a pina colada then for you?
TJ: So it’s a pina colada for her then. Um…
TJ: I’ll go with something similar but different. Ro: Mmmhmmm!
TJ: Alright ready? Ro: Mmmmhmm.
Both: One, two, three.
Ro: Coconut! TJ: Coconut, yeah exactly, I thought you were
TJ: gonna say pina colada. Coconut is exactly what I think it is.
Ro: Yes, it’s coconut! TJ: Yeah?
Ro: That’s a point for both of us!
Ro: Score is 4-1/2 to 4 and we have two flavors left.
Ro: So let’s do this.
TJ: Mmmmmm! Ro: Oh! TJ: I think I know it. Ro: I know what that is.
TJ: Alright, do you want to say it without even testing it?
Ro: Oh my god, do you want to be a badass and do it? TJ: I think so, yeah.
Ro: OK, this is the one flavor that i think I know what it is because I’ve
Ro: eaten a ton of them. TJ: I know right? Ro: Are you ready? TJ: OK, OK.
Both: One, two, three…
Both: Strawberry!
TJ: Yes! We are so good! Ro: We were so on that one!
Ro: Ah, boom! TJ: That was pretty cool!
Ro: We should just… We should… TJ: We should still eat them. Ro: I mean…
Ro: This is real, we only have one flavor left, and the score is 5-1/2 to 5!
Ro: This is like really close!
Ro: Is the pressure getting to you? TJ: I’m in the lead!
TJ: Is the pressure getting to you? Ro: No!
Ro: This is it, this is the big money now! TJ: This is the big money!
TJ: Big money! Big money! Big money! Big money! Big money!
TJ: I grew up watching the gameshow network, that was like, I didn’t watch TV, I watched
TJ: the game show network. Ro: I grew up watching channel nine, so it had all those
Ro: like educational programs. TJ: What is channel nine?
Ro: PBS! TJ: I didn’t have channel nine. PBS! OK, OK.
TJ: Ro just believes that everyone has the same channels as her hometown.
TJ: She’s just like, no channel nine is PBS, everyone knows that!
Ro: WHOA!
Ro: This smells, exactly what I fed my fish.
TJ: I think I know what it is from having eaten at a lot of sushi restaurants.
Ro: TJ, I haven’t tried it, I just smelled it, so maybe… TJ: You should taste it.
Ro: Maybe it’s just one of those things that the smell is just overwhelming me.
TJ: I mean, the smell is what gives it away, the taste doesn’t.
TJ: But go for it! Let me know.
Ro: Oh my! TJ: You got this girl, you can do it! You can get it.
Ro: TJ, I’m so conflicted, I feel like it’s two things, herbs and spices,
Ro: and fish food!
TJ: OK, so take those two things, put them together,
Ro: OK, I got it, ready? TJ: And it’s a flavor that humans would like.
Both: One, two, three…
Ro: Seaweed! TJ: Green Tea!
Ro: Tea! TJ: Yeah. Ro: The spices! TJ: Oh it was close, Green Tea Cream Matcha.
