Have a break…have a soy sauce Kit Kat

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.

Click here for an article explaining the success of the chocolate bars and here for pictures of all of the different flavours.
