A massive 12-ton shipment of Nestle's crunch KitKat bars was stolen in a chocolaty heist that risks causing a shortage in stores right before Easter.
KitKat, owned by Swiss food giant Nestle, told AFP on Saturday that "a truck transporting 413,793 units of its new chocolate range has been stolen during transit in Europe." The shipment disappeared last week while heading between production and distribution locations, the company said.

Give me a break.
KitKat Kaper.
“What would you do for a Klondike Bar?”
“I would steal 12 tons of KitKats and make a trade.”
Wow, just the headline itself makes me hungry!

I'm anticipating great things from this thread.
> 413,793 units
Is a “unit” one bar? Or a box of bars? How many bars per box?
These are important questions!!
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.
Noooo, not my Kit-Kats!!
“The crime would be acted out by Claymation figures “
I wonder if Shri Thanadar is available for a side hustle.

I would rather the KitKat ice-cream ,LOL
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.
I don’t know much about the congressman, but from things I’ve read, he seems like one mean S.O. B.
A TEMU level Dr. Fauci.
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.
Dark chocolate just makes my taste buds sing.
I know what the kids Easter Baskets will have this year.
