Who makes KitKats then?

Can you boot the KitKat Chunky ad, please?

That's what every one says, Nuttymuffins and yet the sale of artificial breastmilk substitute is one of the greatest marketing successes of the last century.

I couldn't care less what MN advertise, it won't change my opinion on wether or not I would buy it.

If only she still looked like that... she was easy then. [sigh] Now, she is indeed very Welsh; Troublesome and contrary to her very core

If "driven snow" is that sludgy brown stuff that's been driven over by a load of muddy cars, then I think they're there already.

SoupDragon · 25/04/2007 13:23

You lost the kitkats?? Are they lurking on the floor somewhere... here, let me help you find them...

I remember sending stuff to the NCT sale with labels made by cutting up a cereal box then panicking as it was a Nestle one! Was worried I might be tarred and feathered!

I think you'll notice when Nestle are pure as the driven snow, Justine - it'll be the very same time as hell freezes over [unoptimistic]

Oh dear - yes slight oversight on my part - sort of assumed when we said no Nestle that the agency would know which brands Nestle have (and boy do they have a few). Thanks for the list, WB, we'll pass on. We might have to run with the FAB campaign till conclusion but we've lost the kitkats already.

Will someone be sure to advise if Nestle do by any chance gain purity of driven snow status?

Thanks for enlightening us.

As a school governor I persuaded my governing body to have nothing to do with Nestle offers to schools, and was asked to write to Nestle myself to explain why. The reply I had was thick and heavy with marketing brochures claiming to be ethically pure as the driven snow. No independent evidence of purity was offered though.

yaddayah · 24/04/2007 17:28

Oh bloody hell
They own Go Kat .. its the only food my cat will eat !

I now own a non ethical cat fgs

well I personally think ALL the 'cheap' chocolate manufacturers should be banned from advertising on here.

Why??

here

Tells you more - but basically more than 12,000 children are trafficked into cocoa farms in Cote D'ivoire...........and nearly half the worlds chocolate is made from Cocoa grown there........

I now actively try not to buy ANY of the cheap chocolate brands since seeing this.

Oooh, I love kitkat chunky bars. I blame them for the glucose problems I had in my 2nd pregnancy.

Hello all

Thanks for the alert and well spotted, it had obviously bypassed our radar. Guess it's tricky sometimes to keep up with what Nestle sell, but we'll endeavour to take down the Kit Kat and Fab ads asap. Assuming everyone still keen on the Nestle boycott? (Just checking!!

WelshBoris · 24/04/2007 16:32

Mail 'em Hunker

You're bound to have a direct email address for them from the last time you were caught trolling.
