Unlike Wal-Mart's evil fake Cadbury (really made by Hershey if you read the back or...taste the nasty things), these are actually produced in England and are a Nestle product. The only difference I notice is that I swear the toffee bar one is crunchy in England, and now it's chewy. God knows I eat enough chocolate when I'm there, I could be wrong. Who knows if they'll keep them after Christmas.

They were always my favourite, muc nicer than Roses. Wed Dec 18 18:25:55 -0800 2002 1584317 0 anglo-estonian 2 1584328 Or perhaps Nestle is producing them for the American market. I also like them better than Roses. Wed Dec 18 21:30:31 -0800 2002 1584321 0 Betty 3 1584405 Funny, I much prefer Roses!

Kit Kat is the prime example of a great UK sweetie becoming a nasty US bastardisation As far as I am aware ( and I am chomping on a few Quality St as we speak ) Quality St have always been made by Nestle Roses are better. Celebrations even better still S Fri Dec 20 10:57:45 -0800 2002 1584317 0 Simon Majumdar 1 1584413 How are UK Kit-Kats different from the USA's?
