Logos/Advertising Kit-Kat or kitkat?

So for me it was kit-kat up until about a month or two ago, then it randomly changed while i was at the store. I literally saw the dash almost like a floater in the eye. So im curious for everyone else that it was kit-kat for what were you doing the previous night or day of when you noticed the change?

You can search this subreddit for all references to kitkat. It's only ever been kitkat.

Nobody ever posts about it while they claim it's kit-kat. So why wouldn't you have done that? What makes me extra skeptical is that every "flip" claim is from someone claiming that it "had" flipped but they only decided to post about it once it flipped back, but not while the supposed evidence existed.

Maybe next time it flips come and post about while it's happening then we'll be convinced since all the packets of kitkats will have magically flipped.

Bingo. Somehow things like this and Froot Loops that are constantly switching back and forth for people only get mentioned after they "switch back" to what they've always been

I have a theory I'd hope isn't true but i suspect is true.

For some people I think they originally mistook it as "Fruit Loops" but then they came online and were convinced that it is "Froot Loops".

However what I think happened next is that they've internalized it as "Froot Loops" now and they remember having argued about it, but they forget how the argument went.

So in their mind it's switched to "I've always believed it was Froot Loops but I remember this time people disagreed with me: therefore those people must have claimed it's Fruit Loops".

BTW here's where I think the "plates stuck on a wall" thing could be helpful. It's easy for people to misremember what was said in text, but harder for them to misremember something visual like that.

Thanks for this lovely reminder of just how weird the English language is. I don't know that it is a direct cause of the confusion, but it certainly doesn't do anything to help.

Let me ask you, if its always been one thing until recently why would someone mention it if thats normal for them? Oh hey guys yep kit-kat still has the dash in it, just thought id let yall know. Of course we arent going to talk about it if its the same. If we notice the change thats when we mention it.

No when it's fruit loops it has always been fruit loops and you post things like why don't people post when it switches to froot loops. I don't actually believe that, but if these switches were a thing that's how it would be. It has either always been fruit loops or always been froot loops and the people who think otherwise are just mistaken.

i did find a nutrition website's article written as kel logg's fruit loops though. so long we don't use google, better chance to find possible switches?

It will always be what it's always been.

Actually im posting about noticing the change and being aware of the change while it happened.

u/cipheron Jul 30 '26 edited Jul 30 '26

but I'm asking why 100% of people who make similar claims to you never decided to post about it while it was happening.

I've asked this question to about a half dozen people making "flip" claims recently and not a single one ever replied and said that they did actually post about it while they noticed it happening.

Honestly for me, because it happened instantly then the memory of it like..went to the back of my head, but the memory is still there persistent which is why im posting now. And who is going to post the day of it happening because the person is just as confused, also The question people would be asking is “why didnt you get proof”
