A Popular Toy For Children Everywhere

The incredible tale of how Kit Kat, once only a British sweet, became a world-wide success company from humble beginnings in Hokkaido to Tokyo and changed all expectations about what an ordinary candy bar can be. The seven-storey old Don Quijote candy store in the central Tokyo district is open twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week, but it's tough to say whether it's rush hour or not, simply because there is never a rush. If you walk past in the morning, in the evenings, or any time other than business hours, you will see a line of people waiting their turn to climb the high-rise elevator to go on top of the building. There are Kit Kat bars in every hotel and convenience store, and there are constant lines of people waiting for their turn to fill the candy conveyor.

But there is no one explanation for why Kit Kat became the giant it is today. One of the great things about it is that no matter where in the world you are, there is a specific version of Kit Kat that you can buy and take with you. For example, in Japan, there is the Bakugan series of candy bars, which translates to "earth". In China, there are Wulong candy bars that literally translates to "wu long" - a length of sticks, very long indeed. And in the United States, there are the peanut butter and banana bars, which are another wonderful variation on a very common theme.

No matter what the underlying cultural context, the basic ingredients of Kit Kat always have been the same: chocolate, wafers (often covered in a dark chocolate sauce), and nuts. But the history of Kit Kat has seen four major transformations that have transformed this simple chocolate bar into a global phenomenon. First, the first flavour was the strawberry, which was not a flavour that was especially popular among Japanese people - it had been too expensive to be a popular choice, given the scarcity of strawberries in general. So the wafers were replaced with the simpler chocolate flavouring, which was both tasty and relatively inexpensive.

Next there was the banana, which came to symbolise chocolate for both the Japanese people and the western world in general. The banana chocolate bar soon achieved worldwide popularity, not just in Japan but also in the US, UK, Australia, and New Zealand. This was because a lot of the western world began to realize that the flavour of chocolate really did differ from what they had previously thought. By replacing the strawberry flavour with a more natural and fruity flavor, the chocolate bar was able to become one of the biggest selling sweets in the world. Now, as the world-wide economy allows people to have greater access to a wider variety of different products, Kit Kat chunky is available for just about any flavour you can imagine.

But with new flavours and new types of chocolate being introduced almost on a daily basis, it is important to remember that each of the Kit Kat Chocolates that are currently available are based on the original design. The first of these new flavours was the 'Chocolate Almond' flavoured Kit Kat, which included various ingredients such as almonds and rum. This became very successful in the UK and even reached number two in the UK's favourite biscuit rankings. Competitions were run all over the world for the chance to take home the new flavoured Kit Kat bars, and several of the winners won a prize.

A new flavoured version of Kit Kat bars is now being manufactured in New Zealand by Hershey's. The new flavours in Hershey's range are based on flavours such as mango and pineapple. These new Kit Kat bars are very popular in New Zealand and the company has already seen an increase in orders in its first few weeks. So next time you are in your favourite chocolate shop, just take a look to see how much of a selection they now have. With so many different types of chocolate available, it seems that any of them would make a great gift.
