A New KitKat Cereal is Coming With A Catch
In a Twitter post, KitKat recently announced that they were introducing a brand-new breakfast cereal, saying, “Breaking news! KitKat Cereal is coming soon to a breakfast near you! Who’s excited to try?” But there's a major catch before you head to the store and try to get your hands on some. It’s only being launched in the U.K. beginning next month, and there are no details on when it might show up here in the U.S.
In case it is released in the States, Nestle, the parent company of KitKat, gave some details on the new cereal. They say it features crispy squares and a milk chocolate coating and “maintains the essence of the much-loved original chocolate bar.” Sarah Fordy, head of marketing at Cereal Partners U.K. & Ireland, said, “this exciting new cereal delivers a delicious taste of KitKat and has been developed to cater to consumers looking for an occasional, indulgent breakfast option.”
Given all of this information, American fans of KitKat may need to do some campaigning to get it released here sooner than later!
