Absolutely outrageous statement from DH

Advert for Kitkat came on. He says he's not sure he's ever eaten a four finger Kitkat. Two finger yeah, perfect for a post lunch sweet treat, but faced with the choice of any chocolate bar, he definitely wouldn't go for a Kitkat.

I initially thought this was outrageous, but now I think he might have a point.

And I can't find the voting button...

Is he BU??

I don't get them now because they're Nestle. I remember in infant school (mid 80s!) it was the most amazing thing to get one in your lunch box where there was only half a wafer in and the other half was all chocolate.

I think kitkats are an old man's chocolate bar!! My dad used to love them, waste of calories imo!

VeeJayBee · 16/03/2020 18:45

A four finger kitkat is delightful.

But a chunky kitkat peanut butter... oh man, now you’re talking.

We used to have five finger kitkat back about thirty ish years ago back when it tasted nice

Not keen on kit kat. I have just eaten a whole box of Jaffa cakes though. 😋

WellTidy · 16/03/2020 19:00

I only ever have a kitkat when I’m on the train and the trolley comes round. I do like one when I have one but would never choose one under other circumstances.

JezebelJinx · 16/03/2020 19:10

I don't want my £s going into nestle's profits,so although I like them .. I won't buy them. I occasionally miss them, but not enough to buy them!

deedeegee · 16/03/2020 20:13

Kitkats, 2,4 or chunky are poor substitutes for real chocolate! Cadbury Tiffin bars are to die for ...!!

FeeLock28 · 16/03/2020 20:18

@OhLook

With you there!

Zipperdidoodaa · 16/03/2020 20:33

Yabu! Kitkats are a waste of calories, the only good bit is the chocolate round the edges and there’s never enough of that, plus it’s Nestle so not even decent chocolate. Give me a Cadbury whole nut bar any time!

moneysavingmama · 16/03/2020 20:33

Haven't had a kit kat in ages! Only get the 4 finger ones to share with DS though really

glennamy · 16/03/2020 20:52

They are ok, but not as good as a choccy finger... And we all love a choccy finger now and again don't we? ;0)

Kit-kat memories:

My first boyfriend I were addicted to them, especially dipped in fruit yoghurt. We even gave each other kit-kat tins (48 2-finger bars) for Xmas. I still have my tin 30 years later.

An evening in the pub with a wrong’un, drinking our cider through kit-kats with the ends eaten off. Dirty.

A friend’s sweet little black and white cat called kit-kat. She was so special!

Donating blood, and then being given a hot chocolate and a 2-finger kit-kat. A most pleasant reward.

Crushing hangover. Remedial sugary Vanilla Coke and a kit-kat chunky. Helped a bit and tasted lovely.

Catscatsandmorecats · 16/03/2020 21:27

Op, your DH is right. Kitkats in whatever version contain wafer which contains air all of which is a massive waste of potential chocolate space.

Croprotationinthe14thcentury · 16/03/2020 21:30

I went to school with a posh lass whose surname was KitKat but she pronounced it "keekay" she was a massive twat

Croprotationinthe14thcentury · 16/03/2020 21:31

I got some 2 finger orange ones in Sainsbury's and they are delicious. I like a kitkat

Enko · 16/03/2020 21:34

Boycot N*stle for 20 years and do not miss kitkats at all. Many much better chocolate bars out there.

OlaEliza · 16/03/2020 21:54

I love KitKat's. I still reminisce about the mint and orange ones they did briefly when I was at school. I used to have 2 satsumas and a 2 finger KitKat as I walked to school and 3 B&H's

LovelyIssues · 16/03/2020 22:02

I've had 4 finger ones but personally wouldn't go into a shop and pick them. They're a bit bland. Aero any day!

RightOnTheEdge · 16/03/2020 22:04

I love Kitkats 😍 not the chunky ones though I'm not keen on them.

They are definitely a biscuit though. You can't compare them with a proper chocolate bar.

tinkerbelldot · 16/03/2020 23:05

My husband had an orange flavoured 2-finger kitkat last night with his cuppa. He unwrapped it and just ate it. Didn't snap it in two, or bite the chocolate around the edge NO, just took 2 bites and whoosh, it was all gone!!!
I shouldn't be surprised as he also dunks Jaffa cakes in his tea 😱
We've been married almost 20 years and I never knew he ate a kitkat this way!!! I still love him 💜

Bluewater1 · 16/03/2020 23:07

Oh I love KitKats!!

Sissyjd · 16/03/2020 23:19

I bite the thick lush chocolate ends and top off a chunky kitkat and throw away the rest. Dont judge me!!

motherheroic · 17/03/2020 05:57

If I wanted to buy chocolate I wouldn't buy something that is mostly wafer. I agree with him.

motherheroic · 17/03/2020 05:58

@Enko Nestle own over 2000 brands. So have got really been boycotting them for 20 years. I doubt it.
