Nestle video at this link I enjoyed seeing the vintage commercials. Never knew I eat kit kats wrong. 
They snap them in half in the commercials. I’ve always broke them lengthwise into individual sticks.
Retro photos of the ads and product packagingfrom the 30’s and 40’s are fascinating.
I never realized this is a British candy, I remember it being introduced to the US in the late 70’s or early 80’s. It’s one of three that I purchase regularly (Butterfinger and Baby Ruth are the other two)
Huh, that’s interesting. Hershey has the rights to a Nestle candy bar in the US. That got arranged by Rowntree many years before they were acquired by Nestle.
Most candy that I buy is from Nestle. The chocolate just seems to taste better than Hershey. But kit kat is the exception. They are really good.
Are wafer cookies like this, used inside a Kit Kat? We buy wafer cookies and they do remind me of a kit kat without the chocolate coating.
I always assumed they were named after the famous Kit-Cat Club, many of whose members were painted by Sir Godfrey Kneller ( a German actually ) on the canvas size named after the club — which was named from the meat pies the inn-keeper called kit-cats.
Bunch of fucking Whigs.
