KAT Great Wave → group buy ends July 21st!

Imgur album with more renders →

KAT Great Wave is a keycap set based off the classic Great Wave off Kanagawa <神奈川沖浪裏>(c 1829-1833) by Katsushika Hokusai. This a woodblock print is one of the most reproduced and recognisable images of Japanese artwork in history, and it has had a profound influence on Western art culture. Besides being a tribute to an ubiquitous artwork of significant cultural influence, we hope that our design is humbly evocative of the vast and infinite seas and sky. From a deep blue hue that transitions to crispy ice-white, we wish to recall the endless beauty of crashing ocean waves.

Girlfiend wannts to do a meal kit for valentines day and was wondering if any resturants or stores have something like that around here

Screencaps can be found here. There are no screenshots of her eating. I also want to note that this video felt a bit culturally insensitive to me, but what’s new for Amber?

Start of the video. Amber has decided to try a bunch of Kit Kat flavors in this video (she was right that they would make it to the expiration date). She also admits that she’s looking for an excuse to eat candy (really sticking to that diet, gorl!). Never mind, that was a joke (sure…), and she really wants to try the different flavors of Kit Kats. She notes that there are 16 different flavors of Kit Kat, and she will pick flavors at random.

The first one is in a black wrapper, and she doesn’t know the flavor at all. The label appears to be in Japanese. She tries it and proclaims it to be dark chocolate flavor, noting that we are starting off “super easy”. She lingers on and lip smacks, unsure of what flavor that one actually was.

Next up is “Summer Mango” in a yellow wrapper with a flower on it. Amber is unsure of the flavor. She opens up the wrapper, and the Kit-Kat itself is orange-yellow. She tries it and is stunned at the flavor. She describes the flavor as “a frozen drink that you’d be sipping on, while on the beach in (don’t you mean on?) Hawaii”. She is shocked at how good that one was.

Next is in a pink wrapper with (in Amber’s words) “some weird fruit” on the packaging. The candy itself is white and she says it tastes like a mix of mango and pineapple (I tried to search for it and came up empty-handed).

Strawberry milk is up next. It’s in a green wrapper with little strawberries on it and rose pink edges. Amber finds the packaging and atheistic “adorable” and says she loves strawberry milk. The candy is pink, and she compares it to Strawberry Nesquik.

The next one is Mont Blanc flavored (which is a dessert of sweetened chestnut puree in the form of vermicelli topped with whipped cream. The candy is chestnut and white chocolate wafers with chestnut cream.) The packaging is mint green and resembles a Parisian bakery, which Amber says is “cute”. The candy is cream colored, and she is confused by the flavor. She says it’s vanilla and reminiscent of a sugar cookie.

Up next is a Kit Kat in a beige packaging with a woman on the front. Amber is unsure of the flavor (as am I). The candy is tannish-brown, and tastes “salty”. She says she can only taste the wafer, but it is still “delish”.

This next one she admits she’s not looking forward to. It’s
