I don't know where I picked it up. Probably from an old Levi's commercial. I keep thinking it comes from the Japanese word, though, because it's usually said so quickly that it sounds something like "skoshi".
Of course, I think it's pronounced quickly because I'm not from Japan and, therefore, that ain't my first language. Calling it a second language would still be stretching it.
Anyway. The drink is actually pretty good. If you're into white chocolate, which I'm not, it's probably deadly good. I breached my sugar threshold a long time ago and now I'm biased towards the darker of our chocolates.
If you work in a candy shop long enough, you either learn restraint or you lose your teeth.

Me: Gomen! (Sorry)
Person from Japan: Oh! Nihongo hanashimasu? (You speak Japanese?)
Me: Eeetoo . . . sukoshi. (Ummmm . . . just a little.)
