Twitter user uncovers a case of shrinkflation, and chocolate lovers aren’t happy about it.
KitKat
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.
After a seven-year hiatus, the popular chocolate brand is teaming up with the fast food giant for a limited time.
New Zunda Shake variety perfectly blends chocolate with sweet soybeans. Read More
Getting your hands on the coveted “fourth chocolate” just got a whole lot easier, and cheaper too.
Were you one of the thousands of people who entered our epic KitKat giveaway? Find out if you’ve won here!
A trip to Japan is never complete without sampling the random chocolate and candy the country has to offer — the ultimate treat is trying all the different Kit Kats! But with so many flavors, it’s always hard to choose which ones to bring back as a souvenir. That’s why we suggest buying the newest one, created to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the very first Shinkansen in Japan. (And no, it doesn’t taste like train).
Thanks to the wonder of the internet, unlike in the past when we had to make do with what our local retailer had in stock or pay extortionate amounts for specialist items, with just a few clicks we have access an array of products from all over the world. As a result, many consumers are willing to try new and unusual things, and are using the net to get their hands on the products that they can’t get in their home country. Today we’d like to introduce you to a heartwarming story of internet shopping, great customer care, and of course sweet, delicious chocolate.
