The answer lies in a lucky coincidence. The name ‘KitKat’ sounds like ‘kitho Katsu’ in Japanese, which means ‘you will surely win’. This accidental similarity has turned the KitKat into a good luck charm in Japan, often given as gifts to students before exams or anyone taking on a challenge.
Japan also has a rich tradition of gifting ‘omiyage’, or regional souvenirs, which are often edible. Recognizing this custom, Nestlé, the company behind KitKat in Japan, created region-specific KitKat flavors that make perfect ‘omiyage’. Moreover, Nestlé taps into the Japanese appreciation for the changing seasons by creating seasonal KitKat flavors, like cherry blossom in the spring and pumpkin in the autumn. Considering these unique flavors, what kind of KitKat do you think would be perfect for your country? Share your ideas in the comments below!”
