Just don't

At first glance, I thought that was a pile of cocaine on the 3rd kit kat.....I need to go to bed.
Or alternatively, you need a pile of cocaine on a kit-kat.
I was kind of surprised that they tried to astroturf here. Reddit probably has their back and they got too cocky.
The company has been associated with various controversies, facing criticism and boycotts over its marketing of baby formula as an alternative to breastfeeding in developing countries (where clean water may be scarce), its reliance on suppliers that use child labour in cocoa production, and its production and promotion of bottled water.
Nestlé is involved in many significant controversies due to Nestlé's reported use of
- Baby milk controversy
- incidents of contaminated and infested food products,
- actively spreading disinformation about recycling,
- illegal water-pumping from drought-stricken Native American reservations,
- preventing access to non-bottled water in impoverished countries,
- price fixing,
- slave labor,
- child labor,
- extensive union-busting activity, and
- deforestation.
Baby milk controversy
I have some women coworkers and a couple of years ago they were sitting in the break room lamenting how hard it was to find formula. I naively asked them why they didn't breastfeed and they looked at me like I'd grown an extra head. It's absolutely astonishing that after 200 million years of successful breastfeeding (which even gives us our "mammal" name), a corporation was able to convince women that no, they should be feeding their babies with shit from a can made in factory.
Not everybody can breastfeed tho.
So there shouldn't be a stigma around a mother paying or accepting donated milk from another lactating woman. But we're still at the stage where feeding a synthetic concoction made from a different species' breastmilk is okay, but saying another woman breastfeeds your baby would get you weird looks. Wet nurses used to be a thing!
Sure, but that's not the case with the vast majority of women who use formula. Nestle doesn't market this stuff as a product for women who can't breastfeed, they market it as something superior to breast milk in general.
Where did they try that here?
I saw it come across on Lemmy, not sure if it was this community or not. I meant Lemmy when I said here.
Yes, I was just wondering what I missed. I did not see it and I'm in this website basically 24/7
I thought it was one of the microblog communities, but not positive. It was someone having 6 kitkats stacked up and taking a bite out of all of them.
I've had a really shitty flu, so I've been on way too much myself.
Wait, are you saying that you think nestle had a direct hand in that post?
Seemed like a comical idea of eating way too much candy using something that was flat because the shape worked.

Also that sugar isn't good for the body, at least not for mine. I get rashes and a dry throat when i eat too much sugar. Fruit and vegetables put me in a good mood, but i try to reduce my unnecessary sugar intake anyways.
Of note KitKats made in the US are made by Hershey, not Nestle. As I understand it's a legacy licencing deal and Nestle makes no money if you buy a US KitKat.
That being said Hershey's chocolate is what it is. American's are used to it, but it's not great.
- Hershey's sued after study found lead and other heavy metals in its dark chocolate https://www.cbsnews.com/news/hersheys-dark-chocolate-heavy-metals-lead-cadmium/

the child labor give the chocolate soul
Fuck yeah, heavy metal! \m/
Excellent. I was thinking, I don't know of any Hershey's issues, but I'm confident someone else will.

Yes but Nestlé KitKats are commonly imported and sold in the US too, especially in Asian grocery stores. I see them everywhere.
Maybe that explains why the fancy Japanese KitKat flavors never live up to my imagination, despite Asian snacks and candy being generally superior (to my tastes) to similar western items.
Oh well, now I have a good reason to not bother trying them any more.
Instructions unclear: Bought a tomato and ended up in The Bad Place.
Ungh, unintended consequences are the worst.

Campbell says fuck you big boy
Avoid nestle products like they're poison. Because they are.
Anybody looking to avoid Nestlé products should also familiarize themselves with the wide range of Nestlé brands.
God damn it, there's so much on there I had no idea, and I've been hating nestle since the early 2000's...
Just a few I was buying, unaware:
Carnation
Cheerios
Coffeemate
DiGiorno pizza

If you go to the list, their smarties says:
But this is their ingredient list:
The ingredients of our original Smarties® rolls are: DEXTROSE, CITRIC ACID, CALCIUM STEARATE, NATURAL AND ARTIFICIAL FLAVOR, COLORS (RED 40 LAKE, YELLOW 5 LAKE, YELLOW 6 LAKE, BLUE 2 LAKE). They contain 25 calories per roll.
wtf lol smarties aren't chocolate at all they're little chalky sugar tablets

If you want a chocolate coated cookie that isn't shit and isn't Nestle, be in the lookout for Tim Tams.
They can be a bit tricky to track down in the US - 'world foods' type grocers would be the place to look.
They're an Australian cookie that puts US junk food to shame (not a high bar, but still).
They are especially amazing if you take a tiny nibble off of two opposing corners, and use it like a straw to suck some coffee or tea or anything hot. Shove the whole thing in your mouth the second you start feeling coffee come through, and enjoy a gooey explosion of ~~diabetes~~ deliciousness.
Bonus points if you can find the caramel ones.
Tony's is great, but it is a totally different candy than KitKat which is chocolate covered wafers
> Steal KitKat
> Eat KitKat like this
there are alternative wafers covered in chocolate
Argentina produces grafiti, which is available at the very least in uruguay and argentina, probably in other places in LATAM as well
Sweden and Denmark (and probably the rest of Scandinavia) has Kex which is somewhat similar
There's also kvikk lunsj in Norway. And yeah, we can easily buy kex too
I'm sure plenty other countries have local variants
It is always moral to shoplift nestle products.
Please don't get into personal trouble for Nestle. Also they already have the money from the shop owner.
Skip the middle man, got it!
The truly ascendant way to eat kit Kats is in a smore.
You forgot the George Costanza method with the knife and fork.
