Sweet potato! THAT’S what that center flavor was supposed to be!

Thanks, Kyle!

The regular “Terry’s Chocolate Orange” is actually milk chocolate, but your texture comment is duly noted. Kit-Kats are usually much creamier, although I love letting a chocolate orange melt a bit before going down. Mmmmm..

Sorry — back to the exotic stuff!

Possibly the only better combination of flavours is raspberry and chocolate. It is almost impossible to find anything with that flavour though which is sad. There is a shop here in Canada that sells chocolate covered raspberry licorice logs, which looks like a cigar and tastes like heaven.

Europeans also have some of the best chocolate (Tobeleronne…spelled wrong).

America always gets left out when it comes to good chocolates and candy. Maybe the average American palette just can’t handle truly good chocolates?

My experience with foreign candy comes from Australia, where they have some truly tasty stuff. (We’ve lucked out and one company has started importing a brand of Australian chocolate biscuits, called “Tim Tams” – I *highly* recommend them!)

Erm… Kit Kats are English. We licensed them to the Americans.

I feel foolish for never having tried the orange Kit Kats. I don’t ever recall seeing them though, and as a rule I try pretty much every Kit Kat I come across. Still waiting for the White Maple Kit Kat to make a comeback.

When you say they never caught on in America, you mean they were sold here at some point? Wish I tried one (well, it’ll give me something to try out when I eventually go to Japan).

Kit Kat is big business in Japan!

Right now it is “test season” over here, so everyone is studying to take tests to get into their high school/university/company of choice….and the favorite snack of test season is Kit Kat! Why the connection you ask? Well because a lot of Japanese people think that “Kit Kat” sounds a whole lot like “kitto katsu” which in Japanese means “an assured victory.”

During hellish late night cramming sessions, many students break out a Kit Kat, and parents are known to put a box of Kit Kats in their child’s back pack as a kind of good luck charm. In fact, on all boxes of Kit Kats being sold right now, there is a space on the back to write a brief message, “Good luck Takeshi!”

Jeremy was not kidding when he mentioned the abundance of strange flavors….why just over the past year, I have seen: Ginger Ale Flavor, Sports Drink Flavor (Gatorade), Vegetable/Fruit Mix Juice Flvaor, Apple Vinegar Flavor, Lemon Vinegar Flavor, and Sweet Potato Flavor.

Jeremy: Sorry about that box of Pocky I got you…if I knew you were such a big Kit Kat fan I would’ve gotten those instead!!!
