Advantages: Tasty
Disadvantages: Manufatured by an allegedly evil company
It doesn't get more old school than a Kit Kat does it? For around 50p for a 4 finger Kit Kat (from all reailers worth their salt) we can can relive the deliciousness of these treats which I personally associate with my childhood.
The foil wrapper is predominantly red in colour with the Nestle and Kit Kat logos displayed centrally. Currently they ar running a promotion to win holidays via texting a code fund in each individual wrapper.
Do I really need to explain that original style Kit Kats come in ultra thin 2 finger and 4 finger packs? They are a simple yet lovely chocolate and wafer concoction from a slightly dubious company (Nestle).
Anyway, you bite through the sweet Nestle milk chocolate before hitting crunchy, moreish wafer. The combination of both is great. Both components complement each other superbly.
I love a crunchy biscuit type of bar and Kit Kat delivers in spades. The fact that the chocolate is so brilliantly incorporated is a huge bonus.
I look upon Kit Kats as biscuits rather than as chocolate bars. They go great with a nice hot cup of coffee and are easily the best sweet/biscuit product that Nestle sell in the UK.
On the downside I am not enamoured wth Nestle as a company. Their political leanings leave a lot to be desired and their "ethics" are questionable. I'm not going to enter into a giant rant on this particular company during this review so I implore you to get googling if you are curious.
Also, eating a Kit Kat is not the same as it used to be as the old style foil wrapping allowed you to run your thumbnail down it, breaking it open before you snapped it and then devoured it. It might seem trivial but that was half the fun of eating a Kit Kat.
Also, this snack is hardly the healthiest product in the world. Each 4 finger pack contains:
- 233 calories
- 28.2g protein
- 12.2g fat
All in all I would recommend this as a good snack to have with a hot drink but enjoy in moderation and don't give too much of your money to Nestle.
Summary: Old school treat

- 18/11/09 Despite the odd typo ("reailers"?) this is a pretty good review, and not *only* because I agree with it! I have mixed feelings about the loss of the foil: it does dilute the experience, but it's awfully nice not fearing zapping your fillings any more... though I have a feeling that multipacks still have foil-wrapped bars inside. |

- 21/10/09 Totally agree with the bit about the old foil wrapper - I thought that myself when I had a Kit Kat today ;o) |
