5. When is Pocky day?

The correct answer is: November 11th! Wonder why? Pocky & Pretz Day(ポッキー&プリッツの日Pokkii & Purittsu no hi) is a Japanese marketing event that occurs on November 11 each year. The event uses the Glico products Pocky and Pretz, which are both long, thin biscuits, to represent the repeated number 1 in the numerical date (i.e. the 11th day of the 11th month). Ezaki Glico has depolyed an advertising campaign surrounding the date each year since 1999. Pocky & Pretz Day has been certified as a memorial day by the Japan Anniversary Association.
