Increase in the price of a kit kat.

[jmorgan]

Probably reduced the size as well. Win win.

Is this thread something about

"A girl came in for a kitkat, a kitkat from the store...,
A kitkat she wanted 4 fingers she got and I don't work there any more"



Sorry forgot this isn't a rugby thread.

I bet if you ask most shoppers the price of regular food items milk bread etc etc most wouldn't have a clue they see what they want put it in the basket or trolley and pay for it on plastic and forget about it.

I still eat them when I want a kit kat price doesn't worry me and if it did would stop eating them pretty simple really.

These sorts of price rises increase the price of weekly food shops though. I agree people wont cut back on the food they buy but with less money in their pockets afterwards, it will be elsewhere in the economy where they cut back on spending.

I love how these rants focus on one sub brand like that is the issue at stake.

Unfortunately I don't think its stupidity, just fighting for the "corner" to the death.

Very Daily Mail. Needs MORE capitals.

[powerstroke]

Oh dear never mind !!! so its a poke in the eye for all the sell it to overseas company's or lets make stuff abroard and ship some brand back for short term gain tosspot accountants , but hey we will keep the shareholders happy!!!!
Nice to see JCB and other great manfactures who stayed here and looked further than the end of there noses doing well

I believe you can by a milk chocolate suppository for that BC - your local pharmacy keeps them hidden under the counter, next to the flavoured condoms.

Does it take away the cravings? That's my issue.....

Hang on just one second......

Milk chocolate suppository - what the juddering feck how on earth would you know what flavour it would be!!!!

Most people don't actually know how much they spend these days just stick it on the plastic and worry about it at the end of the month. Tbh if I was so hard up that I was afraid of a few quid rise in prices of food I would cut back on actually eating crappy foods like kit kats.

Maybe that's a hard concept for you though.

So headline news, Nestle are increasing the price of a kit kat. So fking what.

I turned to my wife and asked her how much is a kit kat, she did not know, so does it matter that the price might increase.

Does anybody give a flying fk, I can't remember the last time I ever had a fking kit kat. Tell the self important Swiss tts to shove their kit kats where the sun don't shine.

What is the difference between a girl from the south and a kit kat? You can only get four fingers in a kit kat.

I used small k's throughout just to diss' their asses.

so your wife is from the south?

Confectionary has been rising steadily in price since I can remember. A can of coke used to be 40p for example. Chocolates used to be 40p etc. How is it news?

No it's not. Somebody on Newsnight recently was saying shoppers are less likely to cut back on what they already buy in the shops and spend less elsewhere.

And don't think these rises will stop at Kit Kats. Anything we import, including raw ingredients will have to rise or the retailers absorb the costs which will hurt them.

Another fine example of how Brexit is bad for the country.

Has the pound lost 20% of its value every 4 months since you can remember?

You see that's the clever part - they come paired with the corresponding flavoured condom...HTH

If you say so I think the opposite the lower pound means more companies wanting to invest in the country as its better for exporting, british business has never been as healthy as it does know.

Or we could buy british or shift our attitudes to stop buying crap from other countries like we have done for the last 20 plus years in the chase for the cheapest we become a minimum wage country for all the wrong reasons.

Well we are in the middle of an obesity crisis so it's not a great loss. Heaven forbid if people have to eat modest portions of locally-sourced food rather than truckloads of imported garbage. (I exclude imports of quality food from this generalisation, but when was the last time you saw someone on Benefits Street tucking into a serrano ham?).

[LeoSayer]

I refuse to buy any more kitkats until they make a 4 finger chunky.

[TwigtheWonderkid]

In Japan they sell more Kit Kats that the rest of the planet combined. There are about 300 different flavours. The Japanese for good luck is Kitto Katto, so the Kit Kat has become associated with good luck. You take them for hospital patients instead of grapes. You give them to people before a job interview, exam etc. There are shops that sell nothing else but Kit Kats.

I read the OP and thought Kitekat had increased in price .... and we've just brought a cat. Luckily I am diabetic so this news does not affect me......

I think you'll find, given the rampant inflation affecting KitKats, what she actually wanted was some butter.
