Easter Apple Pie Kit Kat

Japanese Food Review #93

Happy Easter! I hope you all found the traditional Easter pie that a rabbit hid for you!

I don't know why Japanese Kit Kat chose to make an apple pie flavor for Easter, but once you get beyond that, this just makes a lot of sense. On the bottom right it says it's apple pie flavor made with carrot. I'm not sure if that's because bunnies eat carrots or because they got apple pie and carrot cake mixed up. Anyway, the treat is 4.2% apple and 0.3% carrot, so it's a healthy snack. That egg on the top right basically says, "Get a good start with Easter!" On the back it explains that they mean a good start to spring. They know that you are supposed to look for eggs..., so they made some of the Kit Kats say "Lucky Easter". You should look for those. If you find one of them then... you will have found a Kit Kat that says "Lucky Easter".

The flavor was not very good. It didn't taste anything like apple pie. I was expecting some cinnamon or something, but it tasted more like a green apple Jolly Rancher. I guess the wafer sort of adds a pie taste? Also, they wanted it to look like bunny ears so they made the bottom third with white chocolate  flat across the surface. Because of this, you can not break the Kit Kat in half. I literally could not give you a break of that Kit Kat bar. So ironic!

Gaybot: 4
Girlbot: 6  She was surprised by the strong smell, but she also thought it was a good smell. She thinks it would be good with coffee. Also, she notes that she was very hungry when she tried it.
Overall: 5

Happy Easter

Looks like the Japanese are finally adopting the traditional practice of decorating trees with eggs for Easter.

On a side note:

Yeah, so Jesus was born  in the dead of winter. That's why we chop down a tree. Yeah, and he died in the spring sometime, so we decorate eggs, which I believe represent death in all cultures. Got it... wait! What the hell are you doing, Yoshi?! Eggs in a tree? You fool! The dying tree represents birth not rebirth! Plastic grass is rebirth! What...? Of course pink plastic grass is fine! What...? No you can not pleasure yourself after you're finished decorating! What are you thinking?! I have to say, Yoshi, that was a strange question even for you, and I... Yoshi...? Where did you go? Yoshi! You're scaring me, Yoshi... I... Wait..., was there ever a Yoshi... or was I Yoshi all along?
