DID YOU KNOW THAT JAPAN HAS A 100 FLAVORS OF KIT KAT?













No, neither did I. The more esoteric include burned coffee-flavored, soy sauce, grilled potato, and sports drink. Why, I wonder, do we in the west have but one?

But click here for Johnny Otis and an historical perspective. (Plus a vintage car commercial)

We had orange KitKats here for a while - and bloody good they were too. But it seems to have only been a trial marketing exercise and they seemed to have disappeared again now.

Right, we generally have 4 flavours of Kit Kat in the UK now. I read your post at breakfast and was astounded. Went into work at 8.15, made a coffee and (without thinking) grabbed a kit kat from the Tuck Shop! Mr Farren this is proof that you have promulgated a subliminal viral ad on behalf of "The Man", in other words SOLD OUT!!!!
There are three possible ways of redeeming yourself;
1. Make the Renquist quartet into a quintet.
2. Reprint Willy's Rats at an affordable price, or
3. Arrange for the Deviants to play a gig at Ulverston's Coronation Hall. If it was a good enough venue for Patti Smith and Half Man Half Biscuit it should be OK for you guys.

Drat! My malfeasance is exposed.

Although the list of three reparations is basic stuff I need to do before I die.

And the comments seem to be working properly again.

Excellent:)
And many thanks for introducing me to the Operation Highjump conspiracy. I am amazed it is not more widely known given the bizarre nature of the operation

What's Operation Highjump?

Ask Victor Renquist.
