I'm only a little ashamed to admit, I bought a KitKat today.

Did you run your finger along the tinfoil to cut it perfectly in half? That is a staple of every Britons childhood.

They used to be packaged in paper and foil in the US as well. I haven't seen one in years though.

But it must be a Nestle KitKat. Here in the U.S. you can find them in specialty stores. Its worth it.

Huh? You can buy them at any corner gas station.

Hershey make them under license, but as with all hershey chocolate, they do not add milk or sugar, so it tastes horrible.

This honestly makes me wonder: what is the point of web sites for stuff like KitKat? Clearly, they can replace the entire thing for the purposes of a joke so it can't be that high up there. Who visits those sites? What do they do on them? The Nestle/Hersheys site, sure. Standard corporate stuff. But a site specifically for KitKat? EDIT: there seems to be some confusion in the replies. I am not talking about this joke…

The cost for making a decent website are presumably negligible in the advertising budget of a global brand such as Kit-Kat. Not doing a site would require very high certainty that it's completely useless.

Specialty stores that specialize in selling gas, maybe?

and closed. If you didn't "Open In New Tab" the link, and value the current tab's browsing history, this will be very annoying via "back back back back back aw crap how far must I go back back click-hold-back good grief click meh that was fun until it wasn't."

My browser can display the entire history and allows me to skip right to where I want to go.

Mine too, tga you should just update your browser and stop being a party pooper.

Quite the opposite. Hershey adds so MUCH milk and sugar that it's more of a slightly brown sugary mass than anything resembling real chocolate.

Well, Hershey's doesn't seem to have individual domains for their candies. They own the domains, but they redirect to hersheys.com/product. That makes a bit more sense to me.
