Mikado Chocolate Biscuit

It would seem that I am one of the few people in the country not to have seen the advert for Mikado chocolate sticks. I gather that it has been quite a successful advertising campaign and people have been greatly influenced by it. My reason for buying these, (and my reason for trying anything new these days) was to try and tempt my fussy eating toddler and these looked ideal for sticking into the suitcase for our recent holiday to the States. ~~~So, what are Mikado?~~~ Mikado are thin biscuit sticks coated in milk chocolate. One end of the stick is left bare so that your fingers don't get sticky when eating them. Apparently ...  Read the complete review

I've seen loads of reviews on these lately, and seeing as I've eaten them myself I might as well jump on the bandwagon and throw in my own thoughts . You've probably seen them in your local shop, or at least seen the advert where the unfortunate Japanese lady reaches for a Mikado stick and accidentally ends up photocopying her posterior. Mikado are obviously going for a very Japanese style with these sticks , which are essentially a rip-off of the very popular Japanese snack, Pocky. They are exactly the same, thin biscuit sticks dipped in chocolate, with the bottom couple of centimetres left bare so that you can grip them easily withut getting your hands ...  Read the complete review

I have read on here a few reviews on this product and there appeared to be a bit of a divided opinion on them. So whilst shopping in my local Sainsbury's I decided to give them a go. Well judging by the taste all I can say is thank god that Cadbury's told Kraft Foods what they could do with their take over offer. They will not be in my basket again. What's in the box? Inside the very 1970s/80s design box there is a foil inner bag which contains a small number of these biscuit sticks. Yes they are thin and are coated in a thin layer of chocolate with the exception of the last few cm which you are supposed to hold. They claim this is so your ...  Read the complete review

Tried them....can't really see the point of them. The television advertisement is great, a Japanese man eats a Mikado biscuit stick in what looks like the copier room of a generic business. He then places them on a high shelf. A female worker comes in, sees the biscuits but can't reach them, she uses the copy machine as a leg up but unfortunately hits the copy button at the same time, just when the man walks back into the room and he gets an eyeful of her undergarments!! The ad may be great but I have to say I wasn't that impressed with the product. The biscuits sticks have quite an interesting background, hailing from Japan. Here, they ...  Read the complete review

I was in Asda a couple of weeks ago doing my weekly shop and came across this product on offer. It was about 60p I think so thought why not give it a try. Mikado is a chocolate biscuit type product. It comes in a white box which has a picture of the product on the front. It also has the nutritional information on the front. On the side of the box is the ingredients and also information for anyone with allergies. The back of the box had a description of the product and also some more detailed nutrition information. The box that the product comes in opens at the front creating a lid type opening. This is good as it means that you don't need to eat ...  Read the complete review
