I swear that I was nowhere near Poland when this crime occurred

Although had I known such a product existed, I would have made the trip.

Apparently a truckload of the new Formula 1 KitKat bars was stolen en route from Italy to Poland.

“We’ve always encouraged people to have a break with KITKAT — but it seems thieves have taken the message too literally and made a break with more than 12 tonnes of our chocolate,” a KitKat spokesperson said in a statement. “Whilst we appreciate the criminals’ exceptional taste, the fact remains that cargo theft is an escalating issue for businesses of all sizes. With more sophisticated schemes being deployed on a regular basis, we have chosen to go public with our own experience in the hope that it raises awareness of an increasingly common criminal trend.”

I have to admit that KitKats are a guilty pleasure of mine. At an Asian food store we visit periodically, I can get a plethora of flavors not sold in regular stores like strawberry, green tea (surprisingly good) and others.

I’m also a Formula 1 fan so the amalgam of the two would be bliss.

    Yeah, that’s what all the criminal master minds say. “I wasn’t there, it couldn’t have been me, I was at my sister’s all weekend.” “Don’t gimme that Louie, you don’t have a sister and even if you did you wouldn’t go visit her, would ya’, ya bum?”

    I can vouch for her whereabouts on Saturday.

    Mostly.

    Pretty sure she could not have gotten to Poland )or Italy) and back in the times that I did nor have her under surveillance.

    Now, she might have been the mastermind behind the theft, but I dunno for sure….

    I’m looking at Cat Woman, who used to go by Miss Kitka back in the 60’s. I’ll bet her paw prints are all over this.
    Batman was sweet on her for a while.

    If F1 racing were captured in flavor form, I suspect it would be very close to the nitromethane odor from a tractor pull.

    What is this?
    Flavored KitKats you say?
    I’ve never heard of such a thing.
    How is it possible I wasn’t informed of such a wonder?

    Charles–Actually have an alibi for this one!

    B–I couldn’t be there, but if I was the mastermind, there will be signs….

    ritchie–Indeed. We will go with that!

    TRoy–But covered with chocolate and wafers, still yummy.

    NFO–Thought that about the green tea ones. I’d still give it a try.

    dogpigcat–I know. Rarely seen in the wild in the US, but Japan has flavors galore.

    Nemo–Still, wasn’t me! 🙂
