Candy Continued
After writing the post about Japanese candy, I felt a little guilty. Searching the multitude of 7-11′s, Lawson’s, Family Marts, and Circle Ks around my apartment, I had hardly found more than a handful of examples of Kit Kat and Crunky bars to take photos of. I had, it seemed, slightly exaggerated the dominance of the aforementioned brands.
The shelves inside the convenience store were adorned with flavors of Meiji chocolate, Pocky, Pretz, and something called ‘Look.’ Humbled, I snapped a photo of the colorful display:
Later that week, however, I wandered into a Maruzen supermarket close to one of my schools and found the situation quite different. Kit Kat was all over the place. Vindicated, I documented the craziness and threw in some photos of new Crunky varieties as well. ^_^
I ended up having the Sports Drink Kit Kat, which tasted like white chocolate with a twist. Otherwise, I haven’t tried the other flavors; it doesn’t help that they come in big bags, either. I’m not trying to put on any extra weight before coming home.
Holy crap, why do we only have 3 flavors of KitKat (2 of which are only seasonal)
Just spread the wealth and give some to your students.
