When I was on Kit Kat, we had a full list from Nestle of the flavors they’d launched internationally (HUGE flavor proliferation in Japan especially). Lots of odd/interesting ones, mostly exotic fruits, etc. But the one that stuck out was Soy Sauce. I simply cannot imagine that being a pleasant-tasting candy.

I don't know, salty and sweet, it could work.

I actually AM VoraciousEater on a recipe site, fwiw.

I thought that too, but soy sauce is such a different kind of salty. I should’ve asked them for samples while I had the chance!

ETA: Oh, and I don’t think there’d be much sweet. For Kit Kat, the flavor mostly comes from what it’s enrobed in. And the creme used for the special flavors is pretty neutral before flavoring is added. The praline (little bit of stuff between the wafers) is usually just ground up wafers and sugar without any other flavoring added. They have some seriously savory flavors.

The last place I worked in grocery had a large asian customer base. We would get some Kit Kat flavours that weren't more generally available. I never saw soy, but I do remember the green tea. I never tried it; I stick with the original.

Was the "jackpot" at least more than you put into the pot?

This doesn't appeal to me at all, especially for something like a cookie where the existing flavor range is pretty broad. That means the mystery flavor is probably something weird.

I'm hoping it's something completely off the wall, like pork.

Maybe they’ve gone the Jelly Belly route and it’s booger or dirt.

A shot in the dark, from left field: mango. Remember, you saw it here first.

When I was a kid I used to get a candy bar called Charleston Chew. Apparently it still exists and someone gave me one the other day. It made me wonder how many different levels of chocolate quality the big candy makers have, because the Chew has to use the absolute bottom-tier stuff.

I saw a video where the guy pointed out that Oreo jumped the shark when it introduced cookies-n-cream flavored Oreo. I mean, once you do Oreo-flavored Oreos, where do you have left to go?

Only thing that worries me is red colour. Looks like soviet propaganda.
10-19-2017 , 11:33 AM
I'm with Uncle Dynamite. I'd try the soy sauce KitKat before I'd eat that hot mess.
10-19-2017 , 11:35 AM
They need to do Praline middles.

Talo's still a good game. Don't give up!!! On a related note, I've all the Tomb Raider games on steam except for the last one. I need to find time to play one of them.

Oh, I hope you bought Kerbal Space Program, Witness and Minecraft too.


BTW, I would eat a swedish fish oreo any day of the week.

The guy was a legit legend.

I did a collection in Japan last winter: apple is ok, pumpkin is meh, trying to remember the others I had, hmm butter cake whatever tf that means, green tea, black tea, etc etc. Most of the real loony flavours are regional specials. They’re all ok/none are horrific imo, although my wife’s family thought they were various types of horrid and hated me.
