    I don't think it's "dinaya" as much as it's either a variation in manufacturing or a slightly different recipe for a different market. Only the McDo's here have the sweet spaghetti, after all.

    IIRC somebody told us that they adapt the formula depending on the region's taste/ preference.
    Mas masarap yung Kit Kat ng Canada/ America than the Australian-made ones sold here hehe less tamis

    yan din ang observation ng wife ko. She does not want the crunh available at our local groceries kasi daw iba ang lasa compared sa crunch with the blue foil.

    Sometimes, nasa pag-ship din.

    But yes, products are tailored to the region/market being sold in.

    honga. akala ko ako lang may ganitong observation. My mom thinks I'm crazy kung inaalam ko kung san gawa at kung ano packaging.

    Same with M&Ms iba lasa.

    Napanood ko sa isang documentary sa Discovery Channel ito e. Hindi lang naiiba dahil sa taste preference ng mga tao, kundi talagang maiiba dahil sa climatic differences, iba ang procedure halimbawa ng pag gawa ng kitkat dito kaysa sa ibang bansa kasi dapat hindi pa rin mabilis kumunat kahit na hot and humid tayo. Yun ang pagka alala ko, matagal ko na napanood yun e hihi.

    That's right. That was Nestle's strategy of capuring a specific market/region. For every market, iba ang timpla ng mga products nila (most of them). Let's say Kit-Kat, iba ang lasa nito sa ASEAN against Japanese, US and English markets. They do this to adapt to the consumers' specific taste while maintaining brand awareness and loyalty.

    its the same with other products like Pringles. The one's normally marketed locally are saltier as compared to the ones available in the USA and Europe. Thats why when I buy Pringles, I check if its the asian version or US version.

    Asian version of Pringles usually have Thailand writing as part of its label while US have spanish.

    I have the same habit when it comes to chocolates. Even S&R and Duty Free Philippines have asian version chocolates so I always check the label. If it's not made in the US, I don't buy it. Iba lasa talaga.

    Kit Kat made by Hershey's US is my favorite.

    The Crunch (regular size) that can be bought at the grocery is already made in Brazil. I also noticed that the rice crispies in this one are smaller. I think the one you tasted is US-made, and I myself like that one better. AFAIK, the King Crunch is still from the States as well.

nestle crunch different taste
