Nestle and its Crunch Bar, thought the word “Crunch” in the snack's name, would cause confusion.What the hell are those commas doing in that sentence?
So-called "journalists" these days!

An English teacher would say those are ‘comma splices’ and down grade the writer. Novelists use commas to emphasis, to cause a momentary break in the words of a character. In Journalism, the comma splice is a sign of a frustrated novelist who is not proficient in the journalism trade.

That that is is that that is not is not that that is is not that true
I have asked people to punctuate this since 1962 when I was a junior in high school.
