Blueberry Pocky

Sent from Japan again. Thanks Sora! (Actually this is available locally too.) Some years ago, there was a mixed berry flavour that I liked very much, but was discontinued. I thought this blueberry one would be similar, but... sadly, I was wrong. It's very artificial despite the 10% blueberry content. The cracker stick seems undercooked and flavourless. The chocolate part is a bit waxy. Most of all, there's a sour aftertaste. No need for a second box.

This is another example of discontinuing a perfect recipe, so that they can use the public as guinea pigs for much worse flavour. But my question is, what do they do with the discontinued flavours?
