A year ago yesterday I posted about Paku the panda. Well, my dear friend Greg went on a trek to find me one! Paku traveled all over the world to get to me starting in a little store in Harujuku. Greg snapped this picture of the beginning of his journey. Note the little panda getups the store girls have.
"thingz getting out of hand, but i should make it through bangkok very soon. got myself hooked up in this den of iniquity 'somewhere' in the mekong triangle but i've almost managed to extricate myself from it. possibly if we're optimistic. more later, chin up."
So I was reading Slashfood and how Nestle/Hershey's is releasing a dark mint chocolate KitKat bar for Christmas. And then, I saw that there are over 150 varieties of KitKat bars sold all over the world! OH MY!
I've always loved KitKat...probably my favorite candy bar along with Reese's Peanut Butter Cups and Butterfingers. Who knew that they had all these other crazy varieties in other countries? Then again, I had no clue that they had other kinds in the US. According to the Hershey site, they have the regular milk chocolate, and the white chocolate, both of which I'm familiar with. But they also have limited edition coffee, orange cream, milkshake and extra crispy. Who knew? I would love to try that orange cream!
The Wikipedia link lists all the crazy varieties from all over the world. The Japanese, of course, have the craziest kinds. Why do they get all the cool freaky food? I mean, really! Azuki Bean, Green Tea, Pineapple, Yubari Melon, and Apple and to name a few!
