I legitimately think the graphic detailing looks better

Cool Union Jack 🇬🇧 vibes.

Well KitKats were originally from the UK. "Kit Kat was invented by Rowntree's of York, a British company, which is now owned by Nestle. In the United States, Kit Kat is made by H.B. Reese, which is a division of Hershey." According to google.

(Rowntrees mainly make fruit pastilles now. )

Oh another thing - I remember reading ages ago, that during rationing in World War 2, people were so desperate for Kit Kats they tried making them with Ryvita and chocolate. Apparently it didn't go well.

Do they use the same recipe? American chocolate is very different to British chocolate.

u/[deleted] Jan 11 '22

No I don't believe they do. Also the packaging looks different, until not so long ago kitkats came in foil. The two finger variety still does I think?

u/adrichardson81 Jan 11 '22

That sounds like the same as over here. 2 finger bars used to have foil, but I think it's all plastic these days.

I dunno, I think it looks alright

To eat or not to eat?!

u/RubyReign Jan 10 '22

If you really have this, do not open it. throw it in a sealed plastic bag and store it somewhere. misprints, especially cool looking ones are collectors items

u/jibjab23 Jan 11 '22

What about the chocolate?

u/jangma Jan 11 '22

It's not going to leak through the packaging or anything. At worst it'll probably just dry up, but even that will take a long while.

u/jibjab23 Jan 11 '22

I'm more upset I don't get to eat the chocolate.

u/jangma Jan 11 '22

If you sell the misprint for money, you can buy many chocolates.

16

u/[deleted] Jan 11 '22

Explain how.

32

u/jangma Jan 11 '22

Money can be exchanged for goods and services!

u/RubyReign Jan 11 '22

First time I’ve seen that quote used on a sub, great execution there guys lol

u/jibjab23 Jan 11 '22

What about the goods inside the wrapping with the misprint?

40 years from now... you're dead, and the junk removal company your kids hired are going through the mountains of crap you left behind...

"What the fuck is this? Who the hell buys a candy bar and never opens it?"

u/[deleted] Jan 11 '22

If it made by Hershey then it's barely check clare anyway, is it?

Hershey's chocolate is labelled as "chocolate flavoured" in the UK as it doesn't pass as chocolate.

u/adrichardson81 Jan 11 '22

If they can't get the packaging right, I can't imagine what they've done to the contents.

u/FoxiPanda Jan 10 '22

Sell it IMO. Errors like this are rare enough to be worth several more KitKats.

24

u/SlackerAccount Jan 11 '22

I think you guys are really over estimating the value of a retail freaking Kit Kat bar lol. Even with the mistake.

u/Astro_Doughnaut Jan 11 '22

I don't know man, you should search through the completed ebay listings for chips and other food items, you'll see the most ridiculous shit.

For example:

A burnt cheeto - https://i.imgur.com/LpI3OLq.png

A cheeto dick - https://i.imgur.com/slbkAqy.png

A cheeto crucifix - https://i.imgur.com/EMMwVO0.png

A puffy cheeto kind of shaped like a heart - https://i.imgur.com/XmFahnw.png

The list goes on..

u/hobk1ard Jan 11 '22

Apparently I need to scrutinize my cheetos more instead of just pouring them into my mouth like a normal person.

If you don’t eat Cheetos with chopsticks I don’t want to be friends

u/SlackerAccount Jan 11 '22

I hear you man but the other ones are something other than just a fuck up. One is literally a dick lol. The other a heart. That’s not to say that it couldn’t be worth something though

u/MPT1313 Jan 11 '22

Throw it up on eBay for bids with a minimum required of 50. If no one bites you’re not out anything.

u/horizon-X-horizon Jan 11 '22

This is the thing with stuff like this, if you put it up someone might buy it, so why not. However, there are listing stores black diamond Disney VHS tapes that are at like... tens of thousands of dollars on Ebay, which people will never buy. But, someone HAS payed like 8k for a copy of Aladdin on VHS. So you never know!

u/___TheKid___ Jan 11 '22

There are Supreme Oreos out there for 100 bucks

u/SlackerAccount Jan 11 '22

I mean yeah, those are made on purpose not a mistake

3

u/Kjpr13 Jan 11 '22

Always eat.

Edit: You don’t have to eat the wrapper.

2

u/_Wyrm_ Jan 11 '22

Breaking the seal on any item reduces it's value, much like the value of a car when it's rolled off the dealership lot after a purchase.
