And here we have yet another review of a funky Japanese KitKat product! These were a part of my previously mentioned eBay purchase and the ones I was looking least forward to trying. I think it had something to do with the idea of a "Fruit Medley" flavored KitKat.
Anyway, these came in a small package roughly the size of a bag of M&Ms. The outside of the bag states that they are "Little," and indeed they are. Remember the KitKat Popables that were on the market a few years ago? Well, these are pretty much the same thing: basically a bite-sized KitKat the size of a small marble.
The color of these little KitKats was not my cup of tea; they were a pale peach color, and almost every one of them had a random blotch of a darker peach color somewhere on the surface. The smell was very strong, too: a natural banana smell with a hint of fake strawberry thrown in for good measure.
Fortunately, the taste was pretty subtle. I still can't decide exactly what they were supposed to taste like; if I rely on the picture on the bag, then they should have tasted like a mixture of banana, peach, and strawberry. Personally, I was just relieved that they had a natural, mellow banana flavor instead of that disgusting fake banana flavor! My hubby said they tasted like banana pudding, and I'm pretty sure that's as close to an accurate taste description as I can get. At any rate, these were a big hit with the family despite the weird color and overpowering smell... if they were easier to find, I'd most definately pick them up again.
