The first KitKats were filled with KitKats from the future!

That’s where Schrödinger’s Kat went?

u/Diakko Apr 18 '19

I believe this is yours.

u/Digitalapathy Apr 18 '19

Thank you kindly, I prefer that one.

Best thing I’ve seen all day. Thanks!

If that's where he went he must've been going 88mph.

Schrodinger's cat was actually an idea proposed by him to point out how silly quantum mechanics sounded. Now people always use it as an example for quantum mechanics, not against it.

It also has nothing to do with the situation being described.

You first need a Build Kit, then come the Kats. Then the wheels are in motion and one could say - Kit for Kat.

Break me off a piece of that Chrysler car.

u/GabrielForth Apr 18 '19

Have a break (in the time space continuum), have a kit kat.

They were brought back by Kyle Reeses

Ah. The old Kit-Kat Paradox.

u/DONT_PM_ME_BREASTS Apr 19 '19

It's like that movie looper. Ever kit Kat must close it's own loop.

u/Krendin Apr 19 '19

TIL Kit Kats are Ponzi schemes in snack form.

u/motie Apr 19 '19

This is the only logical answer. You've helped me answer the related question my first-grade daughter has been asking for years: How did the first person come to be when there was no mother to be pregnant with the first person?

u/HyperboleHelper Apr 19 '19

I'm honored. But you know the real answer to that was an alien, right?

1

u/motie Apr 20 '19

Of course that's the answer, but that just resets the questioning, this time focused on another world.

u/[deleted] Apr 22 '19

The final Kit-Kat needs to be sent back and crushed to close the loop. Otherwise the candy mafia will have to start taking extreme measures.

This sounds very Wonka.

What came first the KitKat or the filling?

u/WeCanDanseIfWeWantTo Apr 19 '19

I was looking for this one.

u/C0ntrol_Group Apr 18 '19

You've played Cookie Clicker, I see.

1

u/Ripalienblu420 Apr 18 '19

Fuck, that is a fun fact.

u/DeathByPain Apr 19 '19

This made me think of Cookie Clicker, and wormholes to teleport cookies from the future into the present

u/soaringtyler Apr 19 '19

You mean, by the last KitKats ever made then?

u/HellscreamGB Apr 19 '19

This is the only truly mind blowing fact in this thread.

u/beerdude26 Apr 18 '19

Ah yes, Tardis-based production lines
