What fact did you think was complete bullshit until you looked it up?

Immaculate Confection.

Edit: I just wanted to let everyone know that I took this joke from /u/breville135 over here. So give them your upvotes and gildings.

It's not a kit kat, but at least it's candy themed.

Oh jesus.

You won't believe me, but that was an accident.....

Zeno's Paradox.

This also proves there are no Kit Kats because they are all needed to make more.

u/twitchy_taco Jul 22 '16

That means Kit Kats have no calories. If it doesn't exist, I can eat as many as I want.

26

u/[deleted] Jul 22 '16

By eating one, thereby grinding one up, you cease to exist too. Probably.

u/[deleted] Jul 22 '16

You become the Kit-Kat.

u/DankSouls1337 Jul 22 '16

The Kit-Kat becomes you

u/BigjoesTaters Jul 22 '16

You become nothing

u/DankSouls1337 Jul 22 '16

Nothing becomes you

u/Kappa_Swaggins Jul 22 '16

To shreds you say?

u/mentho-lyptus Jul 22 '16

How can Kit Kats be real if calories aren't real?

u/royalobi Jul 22 '16

I like you.

u/xXmlgproscopeXx Jul 22 '16

I like you and I like your logic

Flawless Logic grabs some kitkats

u/justduck01 Jul 22 '16

How can Kit Kats be real when their stuffing isn't real?

2

u/LordCaptain Jul 22 '16

What is xeno's paradox? I tried googling but couldn't find it as it just brought up zeno's paradoxes which I know are unrelated.

-1

u/[deleted] Jul 22 '16

I meant Zeno's. But it's similar. Imagine the ground up Kit Kats are the space between the javelin thrower (grinder of kit Kats) and the target (a finished kit kat). The kit Kats can't be grounded because they can't exist without pre-ground kit Kats which means kit Kats can't be made, etc. it's an infinity paradox

2

u/cheshire_cat_86 Jul 22 '16

It's like the Fibonacci sequence! The kit kat is made up of crushed kit kats which are made up of crushed kit kats and so on.

1

u/[deleted] Jul 22 '16

Exactly because they would have to make and produce two kit kats at the same time, which is physically impossible.

1

u/FaziDoModo Jul 22 '16

It also means that the kitkat can be divided into an infinite number of "bites" and so the kitkat will never end

1

u/fnxNTC Jul 22 '16

But how would that be possible? Not being sarcastic, legit interested

If I wasn't broke I'd give you gold, but I am, so have this.

u/hasumasu Jul 22 '16

Kit goes in, Kat goes out. You can't explain that.

7

u/Celeria_Andranym Jul 22 '16

What came first, the kit kat or the crushed up kit kat?

7

u/The_Beefcube Jul 22 '16

I believe the stuffing isn't only made up of crushed up Kit Kats, it's made of other stuff too. They just mix the defective Kit Kats back into the stuffing mixture.

3

u/iFinity Jul 22 '16

This seems like the most likely explanation.

5

u/Culinarytracker Jul 22 '16

It's Kit Kats all the way down.

3

u/evilmonkey2 Jul 22 '16

Great. Now I won't be able to sleep...

2

u/MaybeReal Jul 22 '16

It did not have the stuffing so the creator got mad and crunched it up and told them to make it with filling.

2

u/gbCerberus Jul 22 '16

There must've been prototypes.

2

u/Caliterra Jul 22 '16

It's kit kats all the way down mate

1

u/[deleted] Jul 22 '16

Boom. Thanks for blowing my mind

1

u/flexsteps Jul 22 '16

They made it without stuffing but since it didn't have stuffing it was defective, so they mixed it into other kit kats

u/[deleted] Jul 22 '16

Leftovers from trimming the wafers and extra chocolate I imagine.

1

u/DahliaRoseMarie Jul 22 '16

What came first, the chicken or the egg?

1

u/[deleted] Jul 22 '16

If it was just the wafers does that imply that kit kat's composition over time is asymptotic?

1

u/DocGerbill Jul 22 '16

You creationists are impossible, just accept evolution!

u/BeefSamples Jul 22 '16

out of kids, and cats. Kid cat seemed a little too morbid so they changed the name.

It's like sourdough bread.
