Introduction

KitKat stands out as one of the world's most instantly recognizable chocolate brands, and pretty much everyone can nod in agreement when it comes to its heavenly taste. This rings particularly true in Japan, where KitKat is the undisputed king of snacks, not just because of its iconic chocolaty crunch, but also because the name "Kit Kat" sounds similar to the Japanese phrase "kitto katsu," which can be translated to "you will surely win" or "good luck." This makes Kit Kat bars a go-to gift during exam seasons or when you want to sprinkle someone with luck and success.
