According to SoraNews24, the new white chocolate candy bars include "2.1 percent throat lozenge powder in every serving." Basically, they mixed ground cough drops into the white chocolate.

The idea seems to be that the new Kit Kats will help soothe your throat as you cheer for your favorite sports team.

They're selling for a limited time at convenience stores across Japan through September 10, 2017 for 140 yen (~$1.27 US) a pack.

In case you're wondering why the candy bars are made by Nestle and not Hershey's like it is here in the States, the Kit Kat brand is owned and produced by Nestle but licensed to a division of Hershey's in the US.

Japan be crazy.

 

[Tempy]

Is 2.1% even enough to taste, let alone be effective?

 

[Davey Cakes]

I mean, if they derive the taste from Luden's cough drops then it's all good.

 

[Wag]

Mmmm. Menthol Kit-Kats.

 

[Aiii]

I want it.

 

[Just_myles]

If they can get children's tylenol to taste like that, they can have my money.

Well that's disgusting.

Also as a Canadian—Kit Kat isn't made by Nestlé in the States? That's ...strange.

I was thinking the same, just assumed it was Nestle everywhere.

[strangedopamine]

It passed the first test, I didn't go blind.

 

[Hitlersaurus Christ]

If it's as good as the citrus flavor KitKats they're selling now then I'm in. I bought some on a whim and they were delicious.

 

[LordKasual]

the innovations that matter

 

[Masterspeed]

They're so ahead of us when it comes to chocolate and food it blows my mind.

I want to visit but I know I'll put on a ton of weight.

 

[Jocchan]

I just want to say that green tea Kit Kats are amazing.

 

[Ephemeris]

From my first trip, I came back with like.. 8 varieties of Kit-Kats from Japan. Some where great.. and some tasted exactly like

MF unsweetened green tea. .

Trust the Japanese when it comes to flavors.
