You can Kit Kat a lot of flavours, but perhaps cough drops aren't the best idea.

The Kit Kat Nodo Ame Aji, or Cough Drop flavour, is made up of 2.1 percent throat lozenge powder.

According to Nestle, the powder is kneaded into the white chocolate layers of the Kit Kat, to give it a "fresh and invigorating flavour."

Naturally, the product is from Japan, which has previously produced Soy Sauce, French Salt and Sweet Potato Kit Kats. Cough syrup-flavoured Kit Kat though, certainly takes the cake.

So if you can't decide between taking your medicine or chocolate, this might be perfect for you.

The Cough Drop Kit Kat is retailing in Japan for $1.28, reports SoraNews24.
