Delicious region-locked snacks that you can't get where you live.

A friend moved back from Japan and gave me one of these guys:

That's right, a motherfucking wasabi-flavored Kitkat. It's actually really, really mild with a pleasant little kick at the very end. So goddamn good.

The cruel bastard only had one for me, so I can taste it, see what ambrosia's like basically, and yearn for it knowing I can never have it again. It's not even at the stores in my local Japanese area.

Any of you others out there tried it? Or any other goods you need but can't find around you?

Is your mouth compatible with Japanese food? I'm European so mine probably isn't. Can't you just find an import store or ask the local Japanese store?

Probably a lot, but I would like to taunt people over the fact we still have crispy M&Ms.

They also have green tea kitkats which are amazing!

It's not a snack, but I loved Pepsi Blue back in the day. When I went to Bali about 9 years ago now, following my Year 12 exams, I considered buying a bunch of bottles to bring with me back to Australia.

Chu Hi. Mix drink of shochu and fruit juice. Loved it in Japan, can't seem to find it anywhere in Europe. Hope to find some in Hawaii this summer.

Also, peanut Butter M&M's

When in korea, I loved the mochi cakes they sold there. My korean sister in law probably know where to get some, since she lives in Rome, but here? Not a chance. We didn't have peanut butter util some 4 years ago and instant ramen JUST got here.

Hey they have those in Little Tokyo here in LA, I personally am not a fan.

As for me:
Can't even import these babies. ;~;

Wonka Chocolate Bars, chocolate Footballs, and almost all Colombian candy.

When I travel back to Panama, I usually spend over $100 on candy. >.<

Amazon has it, so buy youself a box.
 
This god-tierness right here. It's a snack in the Philippines. I haven't found a store in the UK that carries it, although I'm sure it's here somewhere...

Chips/crisps/whatever the fuck you call them, pale in comparison. There is no highly-processed salty snack on Erf that delivers the savouryness of Boy Bawang.

It's like eating a bag of toasted crunchy garlic cloves. 8 years of withdrawal... fuck I'm getting the garlic shakes again.
 
Saw this on Reddit a few months back. Kiwi-flavored Kit-Kat. What the shit. &#26085;&#26412;-exclusive. I'm not 100% convinced that it would even taste good, but the idea is strange enough that I'm totally on board.

Huh? What did I say? Did I screw up again? :(
Just create a Japanese amazon account and download the snacks through it. The snacks you have to share with your friends maybe a little stale because of long ping times:(

Why does KitKat have the most amazing flavors in asian countries?! Bring those to the US!!

Don't worry the package kind give you a shitty aftertaste anyways and generally suck.

Make some homemade ones. They beat store bought by like a million.

Hmm, I might just do that, didn't know it was pretty much just marshmallows, butter and rice krispies. I have a mission for tomorrow!
 
Region locked? Does that mean I can't open the package if I take the product somewhere else?

When you eat them, you'll get food poisoning if your body is running the latest official firmware.

I'd post the link to Reddit thread if I could find it. Kiwi was just the tip of the iceberg. The apparently have an insane number of diverse Kit-Kat flavors over there. It's crazy, man.

Bonus, add a few extras like raisans, dried cranberries and or chocolate chips(avoid adding them right away because they'll melt). Use a dash of vanilla extract and powder accordingly (Nutmeg, Cinnamon, Cocoa, Confectionary sugar... ect)

Enjoy.

From my homeland: Irn Bru, black pudding, Lorne sausage and Haggis. The latter being illegal to import.

From Japan: Cup Noodle 7-11 special edition Nakamoto Tan Tan Men edition. It's also technically illegal to import, but I have smuggled hundreds of cups over the years. I make my own ajitsuke tamago to go with it.

Also I ate a square of crispy vanilla wafer Ritter Sport last night and it was amazeballs.
