how funny, i ran into this page after searching in google for the meaning of tote a poke. I spent all day in eastern ok today and seen 3 or 4 of the “tote-a-poke” convenience stores, i think i have finished every one of my sentences with “tote a poke” all day lol

Peter-because it is Japanese in origin.

I know that, that’s why I asked…It’s pronounced like “pock” in Japanese, not like “poke”. (And actually, it’s English in origin: it’s a “Japlish” shortened form of “pocket monster”)

Here in Northern Ireland a ‘poke’ is an icecream in a cone. Also an icecream between two wafers was know as a ‘slider’.
