Kit Kat: royally delicious chocolate
We're sure you're familiar with Kit Kat bars: layers of crispy wafer cookies coated in creamy chocolate. But did you know that Kit Kat was invented in England? When Rowntree's first released it in 1935, the treat was called "Chocolate Crisp." But people soon began calling it by a nickname, Kit Kat, and the brand officially changed the name in 1937.
Today, these chocolate bars are produced all over the world. The brand was bought out by Nestlé in 1988, except for the American branch, which is owned by Hershey. Fun fact: in 2014, 650 Kit Kat bars were consumed every second throughout the world! We'd consider that a major success, wouldn't you?
The Kit Kat bars that most of us know and love include four chocolate-covered wafers stuck together, perfect for breaking apart and sharing. But they also come in fun-size minis and even smaller bites. By the way, did you know that Kit Kats weren't introduced to some European countries until several decades after they were invented? For example, people France didn't get to experience their deliciousness until 1970!
As you already know, Japan makes over a dozen unique flavors of this crispy chocolate bar. So, what are you waiting for? "Have a break, have a Kit Kat!" (That's the brand's slogan in most of the world, with the exception of the US!)
