The Kit-Kat Club was an early C18 club with political and literary associations. It first met in the Trumpet tavern in London, which was run by Christopher (Kit) Catt. He also ran a nearby pie-house, and was famous for his mutton (i.e. Scotch) pies, known as Kit-Kats; they were popular among club members, as was serious drinking. There seems to be no record of their ever having chanted, “Who ate all the Kit-Kats?”

@PMc Yes, thanks for reminding us on the day you took all three points from aforementioned Crescent. Kit Kat due to sponsorship and co-location of Nestle (formerly Rowntree’s) factory. As my rellies on the production line used to say ‘Have a Break, Have a Kwik Krap’.

Nestlé have lost their appeal to keep the Kit Kat shape trademark-protected across Europe. I’ll have ten Kvikk Lunsjer and a motoring atlas…

While listening to something about how much English language comes from Romany-posh, lollipop, mush for three- I remembered this piece of useless linguistic trivia.

I then lost my train of thought and went searching for inflatable tubers and found they had all been used to flavour said confectionery.
