Oh those crazy Japanese! I swear some of the flavours they come out with are just unreal.

Pepsi flavoured crisps.... I mean I just dont.... what the....

Still, I'd probably give them a try!

Pffft...Coca Cola's been selling cheesy-flavoured soft drinks for years.

their kitkat isle would take up the whole chocolate bar section in my local asda! and that's not even all the kitkat flavours they have
they even have 2 different potato flavour ktikats..

jacket potato

or
sweet potato

This is new, the weirdest flavours I have seen so far are wasabi, cucumber and watermelon flavoured crisps.

Ooooo, that's cool!

I think because maybe their food regulations are much more relaxed?

Must be some wierd flavours of kitkats over the years

In Japan, Nestlé has introduced over 200 different flavours since 2000

200 different flavours of kitkats.. since 2000 in this country we probably had 2 lol.....

I work for a confectionary company and trust me, I've developed loads of 'weird' products but marketing and sales team (at least in the UK) are about as adventurous as a Koala Bear. Nothing to do with regulation as ultimately, it's all about licencing and flavouring.

Japan and the far east are open to a wider taste pallet, especially when it comes to food and fruits that's looked at beyond nutrition, Goji berry chewey candy, contains a minor percentage of goji berry juice but people lap it up as it's sweet, it's viewed as healthy as it's got Goji vs horrible sugar only candies.

That said, Pepsi flavoured crisp is weird - says the guy who ate a ham cooked in coke.

I would buy some of those Japanese kit kats to give them a try. But the prices getting them off ebay are just stupidly high. And those pepsi flavoured cheetos? Forget it! $50 for one bag? **** you ebay!

The big thing with KitKats over there is that the name happens to be an an abbreviation of "Kittu Katsu" which means "Surely Win" or loosely means "Good Luck".

This has made them a popular gift for people about to take exams or go for job interviews etc.

Wasabi crisps are lush

then again I like wasabi.

Kishywish · 16 Aug 2013 at 11:15

Sounds horrible. I'd love to try it!

Jacksonn · 16 Aug 2013 at 11:16

They have some strange tastes out there. Different I know but Thailand was a eye opener.

They sound AWESOME.

Not sarcasm, I could seriously go for some of them right now.

You can get Wasabi crisps in, I think, Marks & Spencer.

They were "OK" when I had them... not quite nose-disintegrating enough for me.

Go to your local Orient store, look for Calebee branded Wasabi crisp, nomnomnom with the nose chocking effect if you gobble too fast.

Wasabi Peas is still better than crisp though.

Yes, and it's almost certainly one of my five a day as well.

Bluntwrapped · 16 Aug 2013 at 12:32

The Jacket Potato KitKat is interesting lol I'd love to try some of these or test them out on people

GTO656 · 16 Aug 2013 at 12:38
