At last night's pub quiz, it was neck-and-neck between our team and our usual rivals.  Then came a question - 'Who makes KitKat'.  Easy of course - Nestle.  But no!  At the end of the quiz, our rivals' answer of Rowntree is deemed correct and they pipped us at the post!  It's only a 'fun' quiz but......

Just goes to show how often they update their questions! Never mind Goldencup, have a nibble on a Texan or a Bar Six to cheer yourself up.

If the question was "who makes KitKat?" then obviously it's Nestle. They were simply wrong top say Rowntrees cos they don't exist anymore.

Hell, let's send her there with a NESTLE Kit Kat and a message to "get it right up you!"
