The question is why would they produce them in Italy. Most of the food on Polish shelves that can be produced in Poland, is.
rjsw•1h ago
The wikipedia page doesn't list Italy as one of the countries where they are produced.

Whereas the article and Nestlé themselves state there is a production site in Italy:

  Swiss food giant Nestlé says about 12 tons, or 413,793 candy bars, of its KitKat chocolate brand were stolen after leaving its production site in Italy earlier this week for Poland.

Why not? It doesn't make much sense for Nestlé to have plants in every EU country.

The irony of Nestle asking to alert and help them finding the criminals.

Don’t KitKats have AoP status and can only authentically be made in York?

The craze for Japanese KitKats being an exception.

Having bought a triple pack of 7 double finger KitKats in the nineties and eating them all in 20 minutes I can’t even look at a pack anymore.

Is this set up for a remake of the Italian job?

Were electric minis used in this heist? Was the Turin traffic system hacked?

Were only the doors blown off (come on baby light my fire)?

That was me, sorry, I just love KitKats.

(So as to avoid being like the Robin Hood Airport guy, I'd like to say the above was a joke)

Can't help but think of George Clooney orchestrating the heist from his villa in Lago di Como (with a perfect alibi somehow). Maybe Brad Pitt was hungry.

The sad thing is KitKat isn't even very good.

Reads like a PR stunt to me

I'd wager the entire load collectively contained only 90 kg of cocoa and 10 tons of so-called "certified responsibly sourced" palm kernel oil.

Food heist!

I can't help wondering how the 413,793 bars were stacked.

413,793 is 3×3×23×1999.
