Weird Kit Kat Flavors

HELLO ALL I AM BACK! IN THEORY. IT'S ONLY WEEK TWO OF THE TERM SO THINGS ARE ABOUT TO GET A LOT BUSIER REAL SOON. I'LL TRY MY BEST Y'ALL.

Anyway, onto the actual post.

So as you may or may not know, Japan really likes Kit Kats. This is because the name sounds like the phrase きっとかっつ (kitto kattsu), which translates to something like "you will surely win" so the candy are used as a good luck charm for exams. There is actually a space on the back of the packages for you to write a note. In America, we only seem to have three flavors of Kit Kats (milk chocolate, dark chocolate, and white chocolate I think) but in Japan there are over 300 flavors. Pretty wild, huh? (you can find a list and further information on the Kit Kats in Japan Wikipedia page)

Now, you may be thinking "Juno, you can't even eat Kit Kats so why are you talking about them?" Well, for one all the Kit Kat flavors in Japan are pretty awesome and secondly I have friends who also know this and can eat Kit Kats. Before I went to Japan, I was asking people if they wanted anything from Japan and a friend of mine wanted some Kit Kats. I was determined to get my friend some cool flavor, so I looked around a lot for something you couldn't get in America. One day, I was walking through the 7/11 near the main guesthouse in Ojiya and saw some small packages of a Kit Kat flavor I had never seen before. I couldn't read the label, but it looked fun so I bought it.

During my travels in Japan, I had started using HelloTalk and decided to post a picture of the Kit Kats I got for my friend to see what flavor I had. When I posted the picture, the first thing people started asking is "where did you get that?" Many of them had never seen the flavor before and were genuinely confused as to its existence. Apparently it had a picture of some famous announcer on it and was cough drop flavored 😂😂😂

 

Yeah I didn't end up giving it to my friend for somewhat obvious reasons. I'm going to Japan 
again this summer and I promise I'll get you something that will actually taste good 😂
