This is a great use of human resources. /S

[–] Zamboni_Driver@lemmy.ca 2 points 9 minutes ago

This is marketing.

[–] chiliedogg@lemmy.world 4 points 2 hours ago

Do KitKats even have chocolate?

[–] Pman@lemmy.org 6 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

First of all FUCK NESTLE! Second fuck Nestlé

I rather eat it, not fuck it.

[–] DrBob@lemmy.ca 127 points 6 hours ago (3 children)

Staged corporatist bullshit. 0/10.

[–] WhyIHateTheInternet@lemmy.world 17 points 4 hours ago* (last edited 4 hours ago) (1 children)

Right? Who the fuck wants a KitKat? Nice try fuck heads. Give me a break.

[–] wolfeh@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 points 3 hours ago

Break me off a piece of that KitKat truck.

[–] Trex202@lemmy.world 16 points 6 hours ago

Might as well be the onion

[–] Ilovethebomb@sh.itjust.works 4 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

Lighten up, it's a solid joke.

[–] phoenixz@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 hour ago

By corporate assholes

I'm not laughing, fuck these assholes

Or .. you could just transport it in an unmarked truck, but then there wouldn't be this perfect free marketing "opportunity".

[–] KoboldCoterie@pawb.social 33 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

It wasn't even that kind of a theft. They didn't like, run the truck off the road and steal the cargo or anything; they just posed as a scheduled relief driver and the prior driver handed them the keys, by my understanding.

[–] Ilovethebomb@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 hour ago

That's why "conman" is short for "confidence man".

They talked someone into just handing over the keys to a truck by acting like they belonged.

[–] aeronmelon@lemmy.world 6 points 6 hours ago

The KitKats are actually in the eurovan in the very back.

[–] Ludicrous0251@piefed.zip 12 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

That's a lot of security theater to protect $10-worth of chocolate-like substance.

[–] obinice@lemmy.world 7 points 3 hours ago

How dare you besmirch the famous Nestlé name! They didn't murder all those babies and steal all that water and support all that slavery to have their chocolate insulted! How DARE

[–] FireRetardant@lemmy.world 5 points 4 hours ago

All a ruse to justify hiking prices

[–] DeepChill@sh.itjust.works 3 points 4 hours ago* (last edited 4 hours ago)

Do they expect us to believe that there’s 12 tons or 24,000 pounds of chocolate bars in that little dinky toy of a truck? 

[–] Marthirial@lemmy.world 4 points 6 hours ago

I have eaten 1 kitkat in the last 20 years but after all the news and viral posts, I will never eat one of those foul "chocolates" ever again.

[–] e0qdk@reddthat.com 2 points 6 hours ago

Jailbreak me a piece of that KitKat bar? 🤨️

[–] blimthepixie@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

What's in the trailer on the right?

[–] Fuckfuckmyfuckingass@lemmy.world 3 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

Kinda hard to tell, but that's a tree service/arborist type bed on the truck, so I'm guessing probably wood rounds or wood chips.

[–] blimthepixie@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 5 hours ago

Yeah, I thought it might be a tree trunk
