Oh gosh!
You could have made a competition for the londoner money savers: the first 40 to get to your office would get a kitkat

(I'm not in London, so I couldn't apply, but you can't really send chocolate through the post, can you?)

Oh Martin, you did make me laugh reading that post!

It sounds like an absolutely classic Friday afternoon chocolate crisis... and I am strangely drawn to a man who can put a four finger KitKat in his mouth - impressive!

Thumbs up

That was nice of them. I once sent a letter to them with info on a Kit Kat that had solid chocolate in the centre instead of wafer, it chipped a filling. They sent a cheque for £10 and offered to pay for dental treatment.

Kit Kats should be broken into individual fingers to eat; I thought everyone knew that.

Probably terrified you were going to try and sue them

Guilty as charged... though I'd like to correct a misunderstanding. I only had four, not five KitKats ;-)

MSE Guy, so you're owed one Kit Kat redress, plus a second for goodwill, right? And don't forget to file the compensation claim for the additional stress on your legs from the weight gained by this workplace hazard.

That's gotta hurt!!

As for MSE Guy, it's not very MSE biting across all 4 fingers because it means the bar is gone faster than it would be if you divided it into 4 fingers and ate each one separately.
