Good Luck Kit Kat

Kit Kat.. Translated to "KItto Katsu" in Japanese, happens to mean "to certainly win". As a results, students began regarding Kit Kats as good luck charms and will snack on them before important exams. Same reason I eat Smarties before tests!

The Kit Kats form Japan pictured here are "pirated" in that they are not actually made by Nestle and are knock offs masquerading as the real thing. After a multi-million dollar court battle the Japanese company making the knock offs, Mitsakowizakininja, won the right to continue making them. This is largely credited to the fact that he ate one kit-kat before every court appearance to be certain of winning. ;-)
