I'm surprised to see this on the first page of HN. I'm trying really hard to see how this could belong here. Anyone care to explain?! thanks
You don't eat Kit Kats while hacking? Time for a survey: what is your go-to hacking snack or drink?
Or if it's after 5 PM or so, beer. But my code quality drops dramatically after a couple of those...

I'm pretty sure by washing them down with diet Mt. Dew they have negative calories.
When I was in Japan I think I came back with 7 different flavours of KitKat. And they all (but one or so) tasted really good. It's too bad they aren't available elsewhere. Another type of Candy where the Japanese get creative with flavours are Pocky sticks. There's always a flavour you didn't try yet.
This is just my personal observation with no data but AFAICT Kit Kat is *mostly" for tourists here in Japan. If there's an obsession it seems to me it's tourists buying them. I could be wrong but I've never personally seen Japanese people buying them (of course they must, just saying that I haven't noticed). I just walked over to 3 convenience stores that have a large candy selections. The 7/11 had no Kit Kats out of…

I saw a very popular seasonal KitKat stand within Seibu department store when I was visiting Japan, and I didn't notice any other tourist-looking people around. Is it possible that it's just not popular in the convenience store market, but is more popular in competition with all of the higher-end sweets people were constantly giving me, talking about, and eating while I was there?

Sorry but you aren’t entitled to seeing only the submissions you want to read.

It was OK, an interesting experience. Just not worth that amount of money (YMMV and the surprise effect was worth it). It contained about 5 different types of Kit Kat (maple & strawberry, green tea, butter, ..pistachio?) including 4 Sublime Bitter. The latter were, IMO, ace but I already regularly eat pure sprinkles and pure chocolate spread and I am already used to Belgian bonbons and German/Swiss chocolate. I bought it for the Japanese twist...
Strangely, a month or 2 after I received it (it was stored as a present, meanwhile) PayPal send me an e-mail that the payment wasn't claimed and I got my money back from PayPal (???). Peculiar experience.
