The bright red Pocky Truck is spending its first day in Chicago Wednesday, handing out free Pocky in Wicker Park.

This is only the beginning of the truck's month in Chicago. As we reported back in April, it's here until June 12, giving out literal truckloads of free chocolate-covered cookie snack stick things. The truck is here as part of a national tour, called the Pocky Share Happiness Tour, which is a celebration of the snack's 50th anniversary.

Throughout the coming month, you can stalk the Pocky Truck via Pocky's Twitter feed. Here's today's tweet:

Unclear where exactly in Wicker Park it is, but if you see it, email tips@chicagoist.com.
