KitKat, owned by Swiss food giant Nestle, confirmed in a statement sent to AFP on Saturday, March 28 that "a truck transporting 413,793 units of its new chocolate range has been stolen during transit in Europe." The shipment, weighing around 12 metric tons, disappeared last week while heading between production and distribution locations, it said.

"We've always encouraged people to have a break with KitKat," a spokesperson for the brand said, referring to its catchphrase. "But it seems thieves have taken the message too literally and made a break with more than 12 tonnes of our chocolate."

Glad it was Nestle that got got. Fuck 'em.

    You say “chocolate stolen,” I say “stolen water liberated.”

    At least they had a sense of humour, and used that pun in their statement

    "We've always encouraged people to have a break with KitKat," a spokesperson for the brand said, referring to its catchphrase. "But it seems thieves have taken the message too literally and made a break with more than 12 tonnes of our chocolate."

    They just explained to the thieves how they would be caught, which means one of two things, they can't actually catch them that way, or they're bluffing
