‘Now it’s highly, highly, highly unlikely that you were to be served a KitKat in a formal British dining setting. But if you were, how would one eat it?’
Before demonstrating the correct Kit Kat eating technique, Lucy shared a few facts about the bar, noting that it was invented in 1935 in York, and it was originally named Roundtree’s Chocolate Crisp.
Getting into the instructive portion of the video, she started to elegantly tuck into the bar, while giving a running commentary.
‘I unwrap the Kit Kat with my fingers around removed the paper layer and place it onto the plate,’ she explained.
After carefully unwrapping the treat, removing the outer sleeve and the foil and laying them neatly down, it was time to tackle the bar itself.
She said: ‘I simply snap the KitKat in two, lift one section of the Kit Kat, placing the other section down on the plate, then place it into my mouth in a small neat delicate bite to eat.
‘One continues to eat the Kit Kat until the KitKat is fully consumed,’ she concluded.
