“I would steal 12 tons of KitKats and make a trade.”

> 413,793 units

Is a “unit” one bar? Or a box of bars? How many bars per box?

These are important questions!!

On a Sirius note, anybody try these? They are awesome. Stick with what you know.

Actually, it sounds like a commercial meant for TV, pre-Easter. The crime would be acted out by Claymation figures and talking animals. There would be some kind of sweeptakes to guess who the KAT-Burglar was.

I wonder if Shri Thanadar is available for a side hustle.

Those are European Kit Kat bars; they contain actual, measureable amounts of chocolate and are more bitter as compared to ours.

Being a dark chocolate fan I don’t like most milk chocolate bars, but I do like KitKats. 12 tons? my God, died and gone to Heaven.

We like the 70% Tony’s Chocolonely.

Sometimes I do eat a square of Baker’s 100% cooking chocolate, but not often. 100% thins blood and I’m on Eliquis so try todo it sparingly.
