Yes I've done it!!! You are now looking at the world's smallest box of pocky! Unfortunately, there isn't any micro sized pocky in there (yet).

This one is 50% smaller than the quarter sized I created last week. Here is a picture of it next to a standard AA battery.

You can see how the folding is getting difficult at this size. The box is roughly the size on an American Dime.

What?What?What?
You made the world's smallest box of Pocky, THIS TIME?
You have made others?

I don't really get what you are talking about, maybe you should give more info to those who don't know about it, including myself.

Anyway it looks cool

I think you guys are all looking at it wrong. From my perspective, I think I see the world's largest Duracell AA battery.

the funny thing about making a *box* that small of all things is... what are you gonna keep in it?.. the one and only purpouse of a box, to hold stuff, is totally negated by the uselessness of the size :D

I say keep on trucking.. useless things are fun.

hehehe, don't condemn it ;) I agree it's most probably photoshopped, but lets play along!

Heh.. It's the one of the most blatantly photoshopped pictures I've ever seen.. But hey.. The guy is just trying to look like he accomplished something.. Heh.

Pocky for ants, eh? :D
What 1337 Photoshop skills...

But look! I made the Pocky still much smaller, it's now about the size of a tooth! And for those who aren't satisfied, there's even Pocky the width of a hair! Now if that isn't something...

So true.. If I ever need to feed my ant farm I'll call him up. That probably wont happen since I don't have an ant farm though..

Which exactly why it is absolutely hilarious :D hehe!

Brain killer question. Is it REALLY still an AA battery if it is enlarged that much?

:?

:?That's what I was thinking when I made my post. Maybe if AAA batteries are smaller than AA batteries and have the same cylindrical shape (unlike D batteries), then something a bit larger than AA must be an A battery. And something even larger may probably either go backwards in the alphabet or a negative or decimal alphabetical letters:
ZZZ batteries
-AA batteries
.AA batteries

heh you guys are so mean sometimes. that pic isnt photoshoped.
what he probably did was scan a regular sized box of pocky all opened up then took that pic and shrunk it down, and printed it out. cut long the edges and folded the little piece of paper into a box, then used scotch tape to hold it together in a box form. you can see the tape in the pic. photoshoping would have been alot easier, but any idiot can do that.

the only thing i wonder about is how this pic from 18000 years in the future got posted now.

No, those are actually called @@@ batteries, because @ is the character that comes before A in the Ascii table! :haihai:

This is NOT a photoshop'ed image!

Taking that photo required a 4X macro converter on my Nikon D70. I can post the RAW file (with camera data) if anyone really cares. Setting the while balance for such a long exposure really sucked too.

Meanwhile, I have folded my last box which is 50% smaller than the previous one. It is not about half the size of a dime.

Haha.. I can't see how this is such a great accomplishment.. As all you have to do is print out a really small picture of a pocky box and then fold it like a box.. But.. Congratulations.. I suppose..

Try folding (and gluing) something that is half the size of a dime.

I dunno, I think you need to be quite steady on the hand to do that, kindof like a surgeon but with a pockybox :bravo:

Why would someone want or buy *that* small of a box of pocky? I mean it's so small. Maybe for their dolls or barbie dolls. >< I dunno. I smell an award.

Try making an origami crane THAT small. Then I'll be quite impressed. Perhaps people has already done so. :D You'll probably need some very thin paper and very delicate handling.
