Which Country Has 300 Varieties of Kit Kat?
Japan is the country that has the most varieties of Kit Kat, an incredible 300 varieties of Kit Kat. Japan has this many Kit Kat flavors because they have many limited editions in which a smaller amount of Kit Kat bars are produced and sold for promotional services.
The Japanese Kit Kat flavors cover the flavors available in the other countries where Kit Kat is available, and also, the custom-made flavors are sold nowhere else except in Japan. They rotate the flavors, and the 300 flavors aren’t available all the time but rather seasonally, hence the limited editions.
All 300 Kit Kat flavors in Japan are very variable, as they are limited editions used for promotional purposes and not a part of the regular Kit Kat flavor assortment. This means that some flavor can be removed from circulation, and another one is added in its place, making it hard to maintain a flavor list, as it is updated and changed very frequently. However, the number remains the same, whereby depending on the time of year, the number can go up or down.
