Sugar high(st): more than twelve tons of KitKat’s ‘new chocolate range’ stolen in Italy
A large shipment of KitKat bars was stolen while in transit to distributors, a major candy crime right before the Easter holiday that could cause shortages for customers.
The truck carrying 413,793 units of a “new chocolate range”, about 12 tons of chocolate bars, was pilfered while driving through Europe on 26 March, Agence France-Presse reported.

KitKat is shit anyways. Kvikk Lunch is way better https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kvikk_Lunsj
Fuck trying to make four finger chocolate shape proprietary.
All big corporation chocolate is awful, it was bad before the great enshitification that came with covid, and now is way worse you can bet. Every cost has been cut, from screwing their suppliers hiring slave/forced laborers to cutting quality ingredients with cheap fillers and adding more salt and sugar and fat (palm oil based mostly I'm sure,) to disguise it.
Freia is owned by Mondelez these days, but Freia is sort of the "flag carrier" chocolate in Norway, so don't know how much BS they can pull off before they cause an outrage.
The article I read about this the other day said it was owned by it Nestle but who can keep track nowadays.
You mean KitKat or Kvikk Lunsj. Freia is the brand I was talking about. And that's owned by Mondelez. KitKat is Nestlé.
Edit: Its such a Norwegian brand they haven't even bothered with an English language version of the webpage
Sounds like a publicity news, they warn of shortages.. From one truck load?
Who's buying KitKats for Easter?
Give me a break
Nestle/big corporation chocolate is garbage. Every cost has been cut, and every less expensive filler introduced. More sugar and salt and fat to disguise the substandard ingredients that contain less actual chocolate.
Kit Kat's were never great, I bet they are way worse now, with nestle in charge. Enjoy your nazi chocolate.
