Stop changing my Kit Kat!


Yes, this is a rant about a candy bar.  There are few candy bars I can have, and I've checked Kit Kat's before, and they're safe.

I pick up a Kit Kat bar today that says, "Bonus Bar, 36% more free!"  I think, rock on, more chocolately wafer goodness.

Later, I open up the package, and instead of the 4 sticks, it's 2 big sticks.  WTH?!  After a taste test, I prefer the little sticks.  It's part of the nostalgia of Kit Kats, and the sensory part of eating a Kit Kat is a big part of the experience.

So then I do a quick web search to see if I can figure out if this is a permanent change.  They're changing the logo!!
Old logo:kitkat_small.jpg

New logo: 235_profile_img1_kitkat3.jpg

When it comes to my favorite foods, change is bad.  And then I think about a huge mistake I made when I decided to pick up my "Michelle-safe" candy bar.  I periodically double check the ingredients when I buy things even though I've checked them before, because like I said, change is bad.  But I didn't check it this time.  Sure enough, 7th ingredient, right before the 2% or less statement, "corn syrup solids."

#~<$!!

So far I'm okay, just a bit of a headache.  Hopefully there was little enough in it that the headache is the worst I'll have.

The new logo has to be a cost cutting measure... I agree, it BLOWS.

You should write them & tell them. I'm not saying that they'll do anything about it, but you never know. I've gotten free stuff for just giving my opinion on a company's website. I bet they don't even THINK about people with allergies to corn syrup...but maybe they would if there were enough people griping about it.

Pambo, I've done that before. I found out after accidentally inhaling some that the particular bug spray I got had corn starch in it. I wrote them to tell them they should put the ingredients on the label. Their risk management people called me, wanted to know if I saw the doctor, what my symptoms were, etc. I told them they totally missed the point.

I'm still not doing too bad though, there must not be much corn syrup in there. Just a headache and a little stuffy. And tired. I'm so napping when I get home.

I think the only way they end up adding stuff to the label is if they're getting sued. How sad is that?

Sorry about the Kit Kat Mz. I agree. Call them and tell them they now suck.

Not only does the packaging blow, but the big ones don't taste the same. It's not cool at all

I bet the bigger ones don't have as much chocolate since it doesn't go down 4 sides!
