1) the new packaging sucks, it's all shiny and stupid
2) they should TOTALLY do a commercial for kit kats that uses "kish kash" as the jingle! only now she's singing "kit kat!" it cracks me up just thinking about it!

I am only eating orange kit kats right now... at least until my supply runs out.

― luna (luna.c), Thursday, 25 March 2004 04:58 (twenty-two years ago)

my new favorite commercials are the burger king ones with the office workers

― strongo hulkington (dubplatestyle), Thursday, 25 March 2004 04:59 (twenty-two years ago)

it's so perfect (the jingle thing):

You missed that so you wanna kick back
All messed up and that's a fact
If you wanna risk that do that

I guess its time for payback
So you want your KIT KAT
All wet up and splish splash
So mish mash you slash and go go go

You want it - you take it
You take it - you got it
You want it - you take it

You're insatiable

― s1ocki (slutsky), Thursday, 25 March 2004 04:59 (twenty-two years ago)

it's so perfect-- "so you wanna kick back" fits perfectly with the whole "give yourself a break" philosophy of kit kat!

― s1ocki (slutsky), Thursday, 25 March 2004 05:00 (twenty-two years ago)

i just said "it's so perfect" twice in a row! but to celebrate this great idea i'm going to eat a kit kat bar.

― s1ocki (slutsky), Thursday, 25 March 2004 05:04 (twenty-two years ago)

kit kat commercials always annoyed the hell out of me. it would take a lot to overcome that stigma.

― strongo hulkington (dubplatestyle), Thursday, 25 March 2004 05:05 (twenty-two years ago)

then this is, again, perfect!

― s1ocki (slutsky), Thursday, 25 March 2004 05:06 (twenty-two years ago)

there's precedent, too--that pringles ad that used "where's your head at?"

― s1ocki (slutsky), Thursday, 25 March 2004 05:07 (twenty-two years ago)

let us not forget the horror of SWIFF IT into shape SWIFFER GOOD

― strongo hulkington (dubplatestyle), Thursday, 25 March 2004 05:07 (twenty-two years ago)

ok, i have some more thoughts. i think this "new crispy wrapper" ("CRISPY wrapper"?) thing is just terrible. terrible! it makes the bar sweat or something, so it's all sticky and stuff.

who in the world is going to be swayed by a crispy wrapper?

― s1ocki (slutsky), Thursday, 25 March 2004 05:09 (twenty-two years ago)

we're verging on "pluto is a dog...but goofy's a dog too..." territory here

― strongo hulkington (dubplatestyle), Thursday, 25 March 2004 05:10 (twenty-two years ago)

wait

― s1ocki (slutsky), Thursday, 25 March 2004 05:11 (twenty-two years ago)

goofy's a DOG?

― s1ocki (slutsky), Thursday, 25 March 2004 05:11 (twenty-two years ago)

orange kit kats are pretty delicious. you should talk more about those.

― mark p (Mark P), Thursday, 25 March 2004 05:11 (twenty-two years ago)

i've never had one and i don't think i'd care to! orange and chocolate don't mix well in my mouth for some reason.

― s1ocki (slutsky), Thursday, 25 March 2004 05:12 (twenty-two years ago)

what are they? I don't think they have them here. Are they like mars lava bars?

― ipsofacto (ipsofacto), Thursday, 25 March 2004 05:12 (twenty-two years ago)

There's a Pineapple Kit Kat. Apologies if this has been mentioned upthread.

― the music mole (colin s barrow), Thursday, 25 March 2004 05:22 (twenty-two years ago)

possibly, but: KIT KAT BANANA

― mark p (Mark P), Thursday, 25 March 2004 05:22 (twenty-two years ago)

wait since when do kit kat's have flavors anyway

― strongo hulkington (dubplatestyle), Thursday, 25 March 2004 05:23 (twenty-two years ago)

(in my excitement to find proof i googled 'kit kat bandana.' just so you know, there is no kit kat bandana.)

― Jamie (Schwa!), Wednesday, 20 October 2004 20:57 (twenty-one years ago)

Damn, now *I* want a Kit Kat. And it amuses me to no end that the Kit Kat jingle from awhile back that I thought just *sounded* like an Andrew WK song was ACTUALLY an Andrew WK song!! It's just like the whole "Devo sanctions the retooling of 'Whip It' for the Swiffer ad campaign" thing that also had me in constant amusement! Um, except it's a bit cooler, because, hey, chocolatey goodness vs. domesticity, right?

― Minty Gum (Latham Green), Thursday, 2 April 2026 20:21 (two months ago)

my favourite KitKat association is the myth/fact which circulated in my youth, that the fudge-y stuff between the wafers was made from crushing broken KitKats off the production line, meaning that the fudge layers were made from chocolate, wafers and fudge layers made from chocolate, wafers and fudge layers made from ...
So then the first production run would be impossible, ergo KitKat has been made forever.

Should note that Kit Kat bars sold in the US are made by Hershey, not Nestlé as with everywhere else, and taste different (and inferior IMO). (this due to a licensing agreement Rowntree made long before Nestlé bought them out)
