Piece of That Japanese Kit-Kat Bar

As you may know, I love unusual candy flavors — and I especially love bizarro Kit-Kat flavors from overseas. The Japanese market close to my hotel in New York sold two varieties of Kit-Kat I’d never had: Vanilla Bean and Green Tea. The Vanilla Bean flavor was fantastic: No chocolate, just pure vanilla-flavored goodness. The Green Tea flavor was chocolate, with a green tea middle. Good, but hard to make out the Green Tea flavor.

Also at the store, I spotted something I KNEW I had to bring back for the Kid Formerly Known As Blogger Toddler:

Break Me Off a Piece of That "Office" Gag

Last week’s episode of “The Office” (awesome, as always) featured a running gag in which office dolt Andy (Ed Helms, above) couldn’t remember how the old commercial jingle “Gimme a break, gimme a break, break me off a piece of that…” went.

Apple Sauce? Grey Poupon? Driven mad, Andy finally settles on “Fancy Feast.”

Of course, the joke’s funny, because everyone knows it’s “Kit-Kat Bar,” right?

Apparently not. I’ve noticed quite a few people hitting Franklin Avenue this weekend, Googling the words “Break me off a piece of that.”

So I checked it out on Google myself, and discovered why: Strangely enough, Franklin Avenue is fourth on the list, and the first to actually mention Kit-Kats (this post, about our love for obscure Kit-Kat flavors).
