Japan loves Pocky, and new flavors like the whiskey flavored Pocky make sure that the long chocolate-covered biscuit sticks never get old. It's widely known in Japan that November 11th is “Pocky Day” because of the resemblance of the number "1" to the popular snack ("11/11"). There's even a charming game that anyone, especially lovers, can play on Pocky Day.

The game looks something like this..

Each side bites the end of the Pocky until they feel the spark of romance. This lovely game seems to also apply to these two cute guinea pigs, and this video posted by @IsonoNamiheyCH shows that they were initiated into it earlier this month. Although they aren’t exactly eating Pocky, the leafy snack pulled them together the same way couples were on Pocky Day.
