Examples of how firms compete don’t get much better than this. Apparently for the last three years Nestle have been making 19 different flavours of Kit Kat including a delightful vegetable Kit Kat and a soy sauce version. Sadly they are only sold in Japan but they have proved extremely popular.
This is great starter for any lesson; pupils could try to think of any other products that have been adapted to suit local tastes.
