Is there such a thing as a five finger Kit Kat?

Asked by tuesday242 (283points) October 12th, 2010

I am not even sure you have Kit Kats in USA so maybe just a question for the Brits out there. I have heard that there used to be a 5 finger variety, but cannot remember it at all. I can only ever remember seeing the good old 4 finger one. so if anyone can remember any different I would be interested. :)

I believe there used to be 5-fingered Kit Kats, but they have since been discontinued. And yes, there are Kit Kats sold in the US. :)

Funny – I loved Kit Kats back when they first came out in the US (in the ‘80s); the first time I bought one in the UK I was very rattled to discover that the paper wrapped around the candy bar the “wrong” way (horizontally instead of vertically). I expressed this in such alarm to one of my sisters that it’s still a little joke between us.

The Wikipedia entry says they started with four fingers but you can now buy them with two, four, five or eight.

I’ve only ever seen two and four-fingered Kit-Kats.

A five-fingered Kit-Kat would render obsolete the crude joke regarding a certain part of the female anatomy and it’s, ahem, digital capacity

Yes Kit Kats are sold here. I haven’t seen a five-finger one though.
@john65pennington That sounds delicious.

Kit Kats were originally a British candy but they’ve been in the US long as I can remember

“Along with the Rowntree business, Kit Kat was acquired by Nestlé in 1988 and is now sold on all five continents and in over 70 countries worldwide. In the USA it is manufactured under license by Hershey.”
Ive never seen the 5 finger ones though. I love the orange cream ones they put out around halloween
OMFG i need to get my hands on a banana kit kat
