Every flavor ranked — from matcha to sweet potato.
Why Japan Has 400+ Kit Kat Flavors
"Kit Kat" sounds like "きっと勝つ" (kitto katsu, "you will surely win") in Japanese. This made it a lucky charm for students before exams — and Nestlé Japan ran with it, creating hundreds of regional and seasonal flavors.
