Kit-Kat means something like "good luck" in Japanese- I can't remember. So they have different flavors through out the year- kind of like "limited edition" flavors you see on Dreyers (or Edys) ice cream. I have not found any recently though. :(Nancyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17664726634719648643noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8425578632953629797.post-79224223489164171632009-10-20T23:04:54.426+09:002009-10-20T23:04:54.426+09:00I never thought about that!

What do you mean what flavor kit-kats?? Do I want to know?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
