Can't Resist those Funky KitKats

Remember all those weird Kit Kats I've mentioned in previous posts? Well, we finally got a chance to try some. The wasabi Kit Kat was OK, although it didn't taste very wasabi-like. I liked the green tea Kit Kat better. It had a definite green tea aftertaste. Both the wasabi flavor and the green tea flavor tasted more like white chocolate than green chocolate, and both were extra exciting since the actual candy bars were green, although the green tea one was much brighter. Awesome!

Packaging = much more fancy than a regular Kit Kat

GREEN!

Who knew wasabi and chocolate was such a great pair?!

In the seen-but-not-tasted category, we have some fascinating exhibits. Cheese Kit Kat, anyone? I mean, cheese and chocolate are both decadent delicacies, but who ever thought of mixing them up into one? And I really hope the candy bars are as yellow as the ones illustrated on the box!

How about strawberry cake Kit Kats?

What will Nestle think of next?!

Unusual Oreos

These aren't as off-the-wall as black glutinous cream or seaweed Pringles, but since Oreos are a childhood favorite of mine, I thought I'd share. In the U.S., there are a several kinds of Oreos: regular, the annoyingly misspelled Double Stuf, Peanut Butter, Mint, ones with orange filling for Halloween, and the kind that have vanilla cookies instead of chocolate (why you'd ever substitute vanilla for chocolate is beyond me, but to each his own). Well, here are a couple more I never saw in America:

Blueberry ice cream Oreos

I think these are strawberry Oreo sticks of some sort, but since everything's in Japanese, I'm not 100% sure.

The chunks are a little disconcerting.

KitKat Surprise

Not all KitKats are created equally.  In some places, especially Japan, you don't just go to the store and grab a regular old KitKat.  No, you're faced with the serious decision of deciding which flavor you want.  You could have pumpkin, soy sauce, grilled corn, green tea, strawberry, and more.  Recently I found ginger ale and cherry blossom.

Now if only they would make some KitKat-flavored ginger ale

Yummy, flowers and chocolate
