You will recall a while back that I wondered about unusual Kit kat flavors of the world, particularly the British Christmas Pudding Kit kats. The BBC reports that the bars are selling like hotcakes in Japan, where some consider them good luck tokens. "The name of the chocolate bar resembles a Japanese expression - "kitto katsu" - used by students to wish each other luck before exams. The phrase has been translated roughly as: "I hope you will win."" (via Food Section Appetizers/
