Advantages: Tastes smashing

Disadvantages: Not a lot!

One of the most memorable and successful advertising campaigns of the 1990's was for Nestles Kit Kat. Who can forget their famous catchphrase, "Have a break, have a Kit Kat". It must have convinced millions of more customers to try this lovely wee chocolate wafer bar, as ever since it was first produced way back in 1935, Kit Kat has been a firm favourite of British and Irish consumers, (it's the UK's leading confectionary brand) and has long been one of Nestles' biggest money spinners.

Everybody these days surely knows what a Kit Kat looks like, in its distinctive red and white wrapper. It's on sale practically anywhere you can buy a biscuit or chocolate bar, so is very hard to miss. These days Kit Kat comes in "foil-wrapped" bars which I suppose is to keep it fresh for longer and prolong its shelf life.

Its popularity is well found, mind you, as it is the ideal wee snack anytime you are having a cuppa, be it tea, coffee, a soft drink, or whatever else takes your fancy. With its four fingers of delicious chocolate coated crunchy wafer (or the two finger variety if you're not so hungry) Kit Kat never fails to hit the spot.

As well as in the biscuit barrel, I usually have a few bars in the glove box of my taxi, or stashed away in one of the pockets of my golf bag.

Kit Kat is quite sweet to the taste, at least if you indulge in the milk chocolate variety. My own personal favourite is the relatively new "Kit Kat Dark", which is, as the name suggests, a plain chocolate variant to cater to the tastes and cravings of those amongst us who prefer our chocolate a wee bit richer tasting and with a little more bite. The wrapper is also darker than the traditional red and white, so its hard to miss on the shelves.

You can also buy Kit Kat in a variety of other flavours such as Kit Kat Caramac, (caramel flavour and fairly tasty) Peanut Butter (never tried it) and so on, and there have been various other exotic flavours over the years. Even an ill-fated "Christmas Pudding" flavour. (It never caught on!)

Kit Kat also comes in large chunky bars for those of you who like to break with tradition, and prefer a larger solid chocolate bar to sink your nashers into.

We usually buy our Kit Kat in the local supermarket in the 2- Finger 10pk (210 Gram) for Euro1.99. (Or two packs for Euro3.00) But, of course, the price varies depending on where you purchase it, and what size or variety of bar you prefer.
