Kituh Kattuh: Kit Kat by another name


The Japanese love their Kit Kat.... or perhaps its the tourists that love looking for them. The different flavors of Kit Kat are fun to find. It's like a scavenger hunt. Sometimes they're at train station stores. Sometimes at the airport. Sometimes, they're at convenience stores.

I looked up Green Tea Kit Kat wondering how easy it is to get outside of Japan.

On Amazon, I was shocked to see how many different flavors there were!

There's pumpkin pudding Kit Kat, sweet purple potato Kit Kat... and the list goes on.
According to Wikipedia, Kit Kat used to come in soy sauce and ginger ale flavors.
Apparently, the Japanese love for Kit Kat is partly because of the word "Kitto Katsu" which means..."surely win."
