Pocky is a Japanese chocolate biscuit produced by Ezaki Glico. Among the 3 brands of chocolate biscuits, pocky is the thinnest but longest, and is probably the sweetest.
Pocky can be found in dozens of flavors such as chocolate, strawberry, and almond. Some of the more unusual flavors include the seasonal flavors such as honey and kiwifruit.
Pocky has become so famous in Japan, it was granted its own official day by the Japan Anniversary Association. Pocky Day is on November 11.

Pepero is a chocolate biscuit manufactured by Lotte Confectionery in South Korea. Among the 3 brands of chocolate biscuit, pepero is the thickest, and a bitter not sweet. In my opinion, Pepero is more like an adult's flavor, and pocky is more for kids.
Also, EXO(a k-pop boy group) has been on the CF for pepero, making it more popular around the world.

City No.1 is a Taiwanese chocolate biscuit. Among the 3 brands of chocolate biscuit, city no.1 is the shortest. City no.1 does not taste that delicious between Pocky and Pepero. I believe it is because of its cost. While pocky costs 38 NT and pepero costs 35 NT, city no.1 costs only 18 NT.
