KitKat
The company has arrived at the best possible balance of chocolate and wafer in the beloved treat in a new version that’s hitting shelves soon.
Pssst, Nestlé — that character’s not Japanese and you’re playing into problematic Asian stereotypes.
Twitter user uncovers a case of shrinkflation, and chocolate lovers aren’t happy about it.
When life hands you chocolate, wafer, and a special store to combine the two…it’s time to make your very own KitKat.
Japan is filled with special KitKat flavors, but one you design and make yourself could be the most special of all.
KitKat’s Chocolatory has teamed up with a professional illustrator to make these premium KitKats fun, fanciful and excitingly mysterious.
