Nestlé says 413,793 KitKat candy bars stolen en route from Italy to Poland
RicoElectrico: The question is why would they produce them in Italy. Most of the food on Polish shelves that can be produced in Poland, is.
hackable_sand: good
rjsw: The wikipedia page doesn't list Italy as one of the countries where they are produced.
wolvoleo: Food for comedians for the next few months lol
10729287: The irony of Nestle asking to alert and help them finding the criminals.
zeristor: Is this set up for a remake of the Italian job?Were electric minis used in this heist? Was the Turin traffic system hacked?Were only the doors blown off (come on baby light my fire)?
zeristor: Don’t KitKats have AoP status and can only authentically be made in York?The craze for Japanese KitKats being an exception.Having bought a triple pack of 7 double finger KitKats in the nineties and eating them all in 20 minutes I can’t even look at a pack anymore.
infomaniac: Let's hope the investors have a break (through)
Freak_NL: Why not? It doesn't make much sense for Nestlé to have plants in every EU country.
hkt: That was me, sorry, I just love KitKats.(So as to avoid being like the Robin Hood Airport guy, I'd like to say the above was a joke)
ggambetta: Can't help but think of George Clooney orchestrating the heist from his villa in Lago di Como (with a perfect alibi somehow). Maybe Brad Pitt was hungry.
fittingopposite: Reads like a PR stunt to me
brikym: The sad thing is KitKat isn't even very good.
stu2421: i agree
defrost: Whereas the article and Nestlé themselves state there is a production site in Italy: Swiss food giant Nestlé says about 12 tons, or 413,793 candy bars, of its KitKat chocolate brand were stolen after leaving its production site in Italy earlier this week for Poland. ~ submission linked article
burnt-resistor: I'd wager the entire load collectively contained only 90 kg of cocoa and 10 tons of so-called "certified responsibly sourced" palm kernel oil.
qwertytyyuu: Food heist!
teo_zero: I can't help wondering how the 413,793 bars were stacked.413,793 is 3×3×23×1999.
sebazzz: They are quite expensive and there is not something similar on the market (even not from house brands of Aldi, Lidl, etc).
