Title: What’s happened to chunky kitkats??!!
Post by: verucca_salt on March 08, 2005, 11:24:47 am

Has anyone eaten a Chunky Kit-Kat recently? I've had 2 this week and they have blatantly changed them!!!


They used to be well substantial..now they're much lighter and taste like a normal kit-kat. One is not amused.


Arrgghhh my fave choc bar is ruined!!!!!!!!!! I went out to get a chunky K.K to cheer myself out of my morbid winter depression and now I feel worse

hmpph. Just been on the nestle website and they appear to have taken 5 grams off the Chunky Kit-kat. That'll be the big chunky layer of chocolate on the bottom that they've got rid of

I suppose they'll try and sell the move as a response to child obesity or some such tripe - and conveniently forget to cut the price.

yeeah I wonder if it's coz, as of April they're gonna have to put the nutritional values on all their stuff? The chunky kitkat used have about 300 calories in it and now it's reduced in size it has about 260 calories.


I'm not happy - Chunky kit-kats were my official 'I'm gonna pig out and don't care' chocolates! Now they taste rubbish. Was still 47P aswell

I havent had once for a while so cant comment. But I did read in papaer
that KK chunky was one of the most calorific bars and was on the
naughty list so maybe that's why.

I do think it's right that food should have its nutritional values on but they shouldn't make the bars smaller.

Especially when they keep quiet about it and the price stays the same!  I'll keep a look out in the cheapy shops for the old versions.

Yes look in cheap shops like goldencup. Also look out for the Kitkats
with the OLD logo (ie the one that isn't encased in that red bubble
thing) and that don't have Kitkash promotion on. Cheap shops and
markets often sell the older stocks so you will probably find some
easily.

Poundland here I come!


Fortunately I live in London and there's no end of manky newsagents that have had stuff in there since 1983. I shall dedicate my entire weekend to seeking out the last few decent chunky kit-kats!

What? they've been messing about with Caramels too? What are these people thinking??
Title: What’s happened to chunky kitkats??!!

No...I meant when it was Cadbury's Caramel with the Rabbit. Not the CDM Caramel that is out now.

Do you remember when they made it 'new smoother Caramel' for a while - and it died a death?

I hear the new one is Cadbury Dairy Milk with Cadbury Dairy Milk. Instead of normal Dairy Milk bars, they are going to be coated in extra Dairy Milk chocolate and rebranded to fit in with the rest of the range.
