‘KitKat’ reveals ingenious response to robbery drama
The robbery of a 12-ton KitKat has become an internet mystery.
Last Sunday, the biggest tragedy occurred – 12 tons of KitKat products were stolen in Europe. Fans were distraught. Could this mean the huge KitKat deficit that the scriptures speak of? There was complete chaos in society, and sweets lovers wondered which legendary brands would be stolen next.
Luckily, KitKat stepped in and responded to the theft, confirming that the robbery would not affect KitKat merchandise. We all breathed a sigh of relief, but soon the focus shifted to justice. Who were these thieves, and how could they be stopped? Luckily, KitKat had an ingenious solution: to connect to a stolen KitKat tracking system.
The new tracker tool, released on April 1st, understandably surprised some fans, leading the brand to clarify: “This is not a trick or an April Fool’s joke. Someone really stole 12 tons of KitKat candy. And we really want to know where it went.”
A simple tracker requires you to enter your KitKat batch code, which will determine if yours was among the 413,793 stolen. Hopefully, all is well and you can enjoy your ethical chocolate consumption, but those who have stolen your KitKat will be given instructions on how to help the brand track down the culprits.
While the circumstances aren’t ideal, KitKat’s humorous take on its failure has become a great marketing opportunity. From candid statements to an interactive search tool, the brand’s response to the drama has become a collective, real-world detective story that keeps the internet going.
