As an Australian. Kit Kat Japan should offer sampler packs of the diverse range of Kit Kats.

Each time we come to Japan , our son asks that we bring home a different flavored Kit Kat.

So a sampler pack would be great.

Wasabi and melon are good.  although truth be told even the extreme flavours don't taste that much different.....

Given all the free press they get, I'm surprised sales are only up 50% since 2000.

making it the biggest market ahead of Britain -- although second-biggest in terms of volume.

I guess this means higher prices in Japan mean they have highest sales off second-highest units sold. For the layman reader though, this is an unnecessarily puzzling sentence.

I reckon the key to the success of the flavoured KitKat is that the chocolate coating of the original KitKat is mediocre. If it were a good in its original form, tampering with it would be a minus, not a plus.

I like the rapsberry ones they have out now.
