Well, well, well. If you had told me that this was a real thing a month ago, I probably would have laughed, but here we are.

If a kid were to find a pack of Sake Kit Kat bars lying around, s/he would probably ingest them like it's no tomorrow, which could eventually cause him/her to tire unexpectedly, so yes, it's best to keep them in a secret hiding place.

That reminds me of S2 of Gochiusa when Chino got drunk off chocolates.

I wouldn't mind trying those.

That would have been so much of a foregone conclusion.

Honest officer... I haven't been drinking.
I've just been eating this case of Kitkats.

Hm, well I would actually give them a shot as a sample for 2 reasons:

One, when I have nothing really to do and in the safety of my home.

And two, maybe for a one night stand for sex....but then again I don't want to pass out immediately before anything could begin.

Yeah I wouldn't touch kit kats either, saké flavoured or not. Cherry filled liquor chocolates are my guilty pleasure.

Well, the bagel industry never had to worry about people eating too many poppy seed bagels even though MythBusters confirmed that doing so can make you test positive for opium.

Of course, this is probably a bigger problem, as alcohol has a lot of legal limitations, the problem of drunk driving (and thus cops testing for alcohol in the bloodstream), and this being packaged as a snack commonly eaten by children.

Then again, the disclaimer is no different from that seen on caffeinated versions of normal stuff, like the real Stay-Puft marshmallows, which have a whopping 100 milligrams of caffeine per marshmallow.

Sake tastes terrible. Even the really good stuff, in which case it's just barely palatable. So I can't imagine these taste very good.

Also, Japan is always anal when it comes to even the tiniest amounts of alcohol, but that's because it has zero-tolerance for drunk driving, so even the alcohol-free (and sometimes calorie-free) "beers" claim to have 0.01 percent alcohol and taste terrible even when a low-alcohol beer like O'Douls will have 0.1% and taste much better.

Wonder when Customs will ban these KitKats.

Went to World Market and they were selling these chocolates with toys inside, but the German Kinder ones are still banned in the U.S.

I heard that Kinder Surprises or maybe some knockoff, found a loophole that allowed them to be brought over: The law states that inedible things can't be completely covered in food. Hence, by leaving a little slit where the capsule inside is exposed, they can be imported legally.

Bringing in these KitKats, on the other hand, will probably be more difficult than other flavors of KitKats, though not impossible considering the importance people place on alcohol made in particular areas.
