So I've found a new obsession. Apparently in Japan there are over 600 Kit Kat flavors. To get some in your hometown, check out Sanko at 730 Queen Street West or The Pacific Mall. I like Peach Blossom if you can get it!
Maia - this is an extremely dangerous discovery - for my waistline, that is! You've GOT to check out the wikipedia listing about Kit Kats. Here's what it says re: Kit Kats in Japan:
"In recent years, Kit Kats have also become very popular in Japan, a phenomenon attributed to the coincidental similarity between the bar's name and the Japanese phrase kitto katsu, which roughly translates to "You will surely win!" This has reportedly led to parents and children buying them for school examination days as a sort of good luck charm."
