The ghetto dancing in the street and on the fire escape in about 1987 attire , snapping Kit Kat bars and singing " gimme me a break , gimme a break " ..when did Kit Kat start catering to inner city youth ??
And the idea of Twix being made in a LEFT factory and a RIGHT factory to make the candy bar that goes into the same wrapped ? How is that witty or cool ?
It grinds my gears

While we're on the subject of candy bars... in the vending machine at work, I saw a Snickers bar with a wrapper that said "meh" on it. Ermm

This one's been mentioned here before, but only in a thread devoted to the white version of the commercial.  Similar idea---80s music, 80s dancing, 80s clothing---just with 80s rap and black people instead.  Maybe each race has its own side of a KitKat bar??

They should do a Twix bar that has both a regular milk chocolate bar and a white chocolate bar in the same package.



Start a marketing campaign where they use the chorus from that old 1960's Youngbloods' song "Get Together" as the background music.

Have kind of a peace and love hippy theme going on with white and black people doing some kind of hippy flower child dance to the words "Come people now - smile on your brother - ev'rybody get together - try to love one another right now"

It's Mars Incorporated current Snickers bar marketing. "Who are you when you're hungry?" The answers vary on wrappers. "Basic," "Loopy", "MEH"( ), "Angry," "Annoying," "Wimpy," etc.

For those of you who haven't seen it, this is a GIF from a scene in Orange Is The New Black, a Netflix original series.
