Staged corporatist bullshit. 0/10.
Might as well be the onion
Lighten up, it’s a solid joke.
By corporate assholes
I’m not laughing, fuck these assholes
Right? Who the fuck wants a KitKat? Nice try fuck heads. Give me a break.
Have a break…
I snickered at that…
Break me off a piece of that KitKat truck.
I like KitKats, but I don’t want one THAT bad.
The real joke is the amount of real chocolate in chocolate related products
I knew the original heist was a marketing scheme but this just proves it
Are they wasting police time, or are they in on it too?
Yea, everything surrounding to just feels to on point, all sounds like a big marketing hoax.
All a ruse to justify hiking prices
First of all FUCK NESTLE! Second fuck Nestlé
I rather eat it, not fuck it.
Lol probably cost more than if the truck was just robbed tbh
This is a great use of human resources. /S
We’re two steps away from Snow Crash, where the pizza Deliverator carries a gun and a katana.
Lol “deliverator”. Sounds like a movie with Schwarzenegger in it :)
His name is Hiro Protagonist.
The other lead character is called Yours Truly.
There are very few people who do post-cyberpunk better than Stephenson.
This is a pet peeve of mine irl, people adding “ator” or “isation” or “ise” or similar to words to make new words we already have words for.
“We need to solutionise this problem”
No, fuck off, we already have the word “solve” we don’t need a new word, it doesn’t make you sound smarter, it makes you sound like a fucking moron who doesn’t know the word solve.
This is marketing.
This is 100% correct.
Do KitKats even have chocolate?
Jailbreak me a piece of that KitKat bar? 🤨️
This is an ad.
Or … you could just transport it in an unmarked truck, but then there wouldn’t be this perfect free marketing “opportunity”.
It wasn’t even that kind of a theft. They didn’t like, run the truck off the road and steal the cargo or anything; they just posed as a scheduled relief driver and the prior driver handed them the keys, by my understanding.
That’s why “conman” is short for “confidence man”.
They talked someone into just handing over the keys to a truck by acting like they belonged.
Like Face and not BA.
The KitKats are actually in the eurovan in the very back.
Damn I haven’t had a KitKat in a while. I should get some.
Fam, we dont have to give Nestlé money if we dont have to (I know its hard to avoid). We can make better confectionaries, and other companies sell less trash chocolate covered cardboard.
I will however admit, this ad is mildly funny, they put in some effort. Nothing wrong with having fun.
This is generally how I feel when I watch movies with slavery too /s
Naw, basically all major players changed their recipies over the last couple years. They are double the price, but have less chocolate, and more palm oil and other BS.
Stick with artisan chocolate, or, if you can, figure out which name brand chocolates haven’t changed their schtick yet. I think snickers are still the same, but don’t hold it against me if they aren’t.
Snickers is made by Mars, and their chocolate has always been higher tier than Nestlé and Hershey’s. Mars also makes the (god tier) 3 Musketeers, the Milky Way/Mars (not sure which one is branded Mars in other countries), and their plain chocolate bar is Dove.
I think there’s a Mandela Effect around Dove. I, for one, thought Hershey made Dove at some point. I don’t know why. Hershey’s does have a higher-end chocolate called Symphony, but I haven’t seen it in years. It’s creamier than their regular bar.
Look up Wilton’s chocolate buttercream recipe. It’s cake frosting. But nothing says you can’t eat it on its own. Pipe it into Hershey’s Kiss shaped dollops on a sheet of parchment/wax paper and chill, eat them like little mousse bites. It’s basically a stick of butter, I think 3 cups of sifted powdered/Confectioners sugar, and milk to control the texture/consistency. Some people add vanilla extract — of course, you could hit it with whatever other extract to tweak the flavour a bit. Maybe you want minty chocolate? Peppermint extract. There are options.
Willy Wonka did it
I have eaten 1 kitkat in the last 20 years but after all the news and viral posts, I will never eat one of those foul “chocolates” ever again.
Don’t worry, guys
The people who stole the last load of KitKat won’t strike again
They’re having a loooooooooooooong break
That’s a lot of security theater to protect $10-worth of chocolate-like substance.
How dare you besmirch the famous Nestlé name! They didn’t murder all those babies and steal all that water and support all that slavery to have their chocolate insulted! How DARE
So the company did suffer one theft, and they turned it into a marketing stunt. Look at how delicious our product is. We have to guard the fuck out of it. They’re not even being coy about it. It’s very openly a marketing stunt. Meanwhile people are lining up here to say “I bet it’s just a marketing stunt!”
Congrats everyone - you win the bet.
