The Kit-Kat Katostrophe Wafers… in milk chocolate. In rows. Break time. Anytime. Break time anytime. BREAK time ANYTIME. Some people don’t get this. Something in their cerebral cortex is wrong, and they do it all wrong. There comes a time when Kit-Kats must be eaten properly, in order to achieve world peace.
