<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
If I ever need a cough drop to soothe my throat because I cheered loudly when my favorite team scored a touchdown\/run\/goal\/basket\/eight-ender or because I screamed, \u201cWHAAAAAT!?\u201d after learning about a cough drop-flavored candy bar, the Cough Drop Kit Kat will not be of any help.<\/p>\n
The odd, new confection from Japan is called Kit Kat Nodo Ame Aji, which translates to Kit Kat Cough Drop Flavor. The candy gets its lozengeness from ground cough drop powder that’s been added to the white chocolate.<\/p>\n
As you can see below, the pack I bought from eBay didn\u2019t do well during its two-week inter-Pacific trek from Japan. The iconic Kit Kat fingers are almost indistinguishable and the white chocolate looks as if it was melted throughout most of its journey. While it looks like congealed bacon grease logs, the white chocolate has a pleasant peppermint-like aroma. But once I broke off a piece of that Kit Kat bar, an odd stale aroma made its way up my nose, which worried me.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
The candy tastes like a generic menthol cough drop, and at times it reminds me of a York Peppermint Pattie, but it\u2019s mild. There\u2019s even a slight cooling sensation, which brought a \u201cHoly crap! That\u2019s awesome!\u201d smile to my face. It\u2019s not even close to being nostril clearing or throat soothing as an actual cough drop, so I\u2019m 99.9 percent sure it won\u2019t help after being hoarse from cheering on an eight-ender.<\/p>\n
But while tasting it, I began to wonder if being locked up for thousands of miles on a boat affected its flavor because there were brief moments when my taste buds noticed a harsh flavor that I\u2019ve only experienced when accidentally biting into stale foods. (It happens to me more than you\u2019d think. I don\u2019t read IKEA instructions or check my foods to see if they\u2019re stale.) But I can\u2019t help but think it\u2019s part of the cough drop flavor, because, you know, Japan.<\/p>\n
If the Kit Kat had a menthol flavor with a cooling sensation, I\u2019d be into that kinky culinary combo, but that stale flavor, even though it\u2019s very mild and fleeting, gives me pause.<\/p>\n
Having tried dozens of odd Japanese Kit Kat flavors, like wasabi, soy sauce, butter, and ginger, I have to say Kit Kat Nodo Ame Aji is the least pleasing Japanese Kit Kat I\u2019ve ever tasted.<\/p>\n
