Kit Kat Kaleidoscope

Oh my god, I just read an article online where it was talking about American stuff making it in other countries or whatever and they talked about how popular Kit Kat is in Japan. In fact, it is so popular that they have over 80 flavours of it!!! I was like :O:O:O . Seriously! Some of the flavours sound sooo cool!

You can find a list of them on Wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kit_Kat#Asia 'cause there's too many for me to write down but some of them are just bizarre like they have a Kit Kat that is caramel and salt flavoured. ???

Here are some interesting ones:
Cafe au lait-flavored Kit Kats
Cafe Au Lait
Some people have said that it's "smooth and delicious" and others have said "meh".
Soybean-flavored Kit Kat
Intense Roasted Soy Bean
People have said it's dark choclotaey, rich, not so intense, a bit peanutbuttery and soybeany.
Creme brulee-flavored Kit Kat
Creme Brulee
"STarts out very creme, then gets a little too brulee."
Soy sauce-flavored Kit Kats
Soy Sauce
Apparently gross, unsavoury and needs salt. But apparently, in Japan, they're the number one Kit Kat!

In addition to these flavours there are LOTS more like berry wine, golden peach, banana, custard pudding, miso, earl grey tea, camembert cheese, lemon vinegar (what's with the vinegar?!), cookies & chocolate, cookies & milk, cookies PLUS, CUCUMBER, pickled plum, rose, wasabi, aloe vera, bubblegum, cheese, European cheese, strawberry & milk ETC. ETC. ETC.

The taste combinations that Japanese candymakers come up with are becoming increasingly bizarre. I find it funny that the most popular one is the Soy Sauce Kit Kat! HA.
