Kit Kat fan upset after finding no wafer in treat - but some say she won 'food lottery'

A Kit Kat fan has told of her disappointment after biting into her favourite chocolate bar and finding out it had no wafer.

Keely McGrath, 25, treated herself to the snack only to find it was lacking an integral part of the bar.

She said that while for some people it was like winning the "food lottery" having just a solid block of chocolate, for her the best part was the wafer.

Keely said: "Thousands of people are saying I won the food lottery, but in my eyes if I wanted a Kit Kat with no wafer I would have bought a Yorkie."

Originally from Tipperary in Ireland, Keely is working as a bartender in Darwin, Australia.

She said: "I was disappointed as Kit Kats are actually my favourite bar, which might be an unpopular opinion.

"I'm not much of a chocolate lover and I like that there's not too much chocolate in a normal Kit Kat."

Despite being disappointed after spending three dollars on the chocolate bar, she was able to swap with her boyfriend who had a standard-issue Kit Kat.

The rarity of a completely solid Kit Kat might be unknown to most, but it's not first time this happened to Keely.

She said: "A few years ago I got a four-pack of Kit Kat chunkys and they all had no wafers.

"I actually hurt my tooth that time because it was a massive block of rock-hard chocolate."

After winning the "food lottery" more than once she doesn't feel like she's won anything but disappointment and said, "one man's trash is another man's treasure."

Meanwhile a video showing how Nestlé makes KitKats has left many people surprised.

Popular YouTuber Zack D. Films posted a video about KitKats titled The Inside Of Kit Kats Are Not What You Think, in which he told viewers that the wafer inside the chocolate treat is actually made from other discarded KitKats that have been broken during the manufacturing process.

Instead of throwing away the unusable bars, the company crushes them up and uses them to make more wafers - helping to reduce Nestlé's waste output.

He explained: "They [Nestlé] claim it's just a crisp wafer. But what they actually used to make it might surprise you.

"Some KitKats get broken while they're being made and instead of throwing them out, the company crushes them up and adds sugar. That's what's on the inside of KitKat bars – it's literally crushed up KitKats."
