    I have to be honest it seemed to me that they didn't actually want anyone to send the bars back and expected the consumer to do just that.
    Nothing they can do with them apart from bin them.

    I would have thought that they would have welcomed the chance to bin them rather than having even the slight possibility of someone consuming a foreign object.

    Why so? They are a company out to make a profit. They really don't want people to send their KitKats back, and they certainly wouldn't welcome the chance to bin them and hand money back. The recall really is all about covering themselves legally, not about morality.

    You have a worse opinion of Kit Kat than many do I must say.

    Not really, I am just a realist and I understand how business works. There's no point dressing big companies up as fluffy moralists, because they're not. They're capitalists in it for profit, simple as.

    Yes I don't think that is unreasonable.

    I fear that you may be in a minority of one.

    At least they didn't find horse chestnut DNA in them.
    If you fold it in half, will an Audi A4 fit in a Citroen C5? :)

    I think that if you read back you will find that you are wrong.
