I was laughing at this parody. Then, I found myself wanting a KitKat. Perhaps there's something to this presentation style after all!

When it comes to a chunk of sugar as delicious as a KitKat, all they really need to do is plant the word "KitKat" in your brain and you'll want one. Or maybe it's just me.

yup, but they still have to have some method to plant the word KitKat into your brain.

I find the thought of dead babies in Africa tends to put me off my confectionary.

I haven't seen a paper/foil packaged kitkat in years, and this is in the UK. It seems they've abandoned it completely, which is saddening.

The 2 finger multi-packs (x8) have them, sold in Tesco and probably the other large supermarkets, I ate one (for the first time in a long time) yesterday and it was paper + tinfoil + delicious.

The mini KitKats in the US are still wrapped in paper, too.

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…

One point of sites dedicated to a product like Kit Kat, is that it protects their brand by directing people to _their_ page when people type Kit Kat in Google or another search engine. It would also capture other searches related to the product. You will be surprised at how many people use the Google search box as their default navigation tool - even when they know the name of the site. In fact, I have seen people type Google.com in the search box rather than directly into the browser's navigation box!

Nope, not doing it for me.

Love the easter egg - try "haveabreak" or "up up down down left right left right b a" :)

Note: If it doesn't work the first time, try a few more times. The image may not load the first time and it rotates images. I was very disappointed it didn't work the first few times.

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

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.

They use soured milk.
