“The loss I have suffered is of monetary and emotional significance.”
And a couple of brain cells.

She's not being serious.
The Kings College student told ITV she was “trying her luck” but said “if you don’t ask you don’t get”.
27
It's clear she's trying to be clever. Whether that's what she achieved is another matter...
3
Nope. She knows 100% of what she's doing. Why? For shits and giggles I'd say.
21
Because if it works then you get free fucking kit kats and if it doesn't then you still get a damn article written about you
7
An article about how dumb and greedy you are.

I don't think you read the article, did you?

I don't think you understand how PR or advertising actually works. Nestle, with their giant marketing budget, wouldn't use a tiny article in an independent news site. She's not getting paid one bit.

If I didn't know any better, I'd say you're trying to brainwash me with your synthesized dreams!

Guide us, O knowledgeable God amongst Men!

While she's a complete moron, I always root for anyone trying to annoy Nestle.
55
My favourite explanation is that she's just trying to fuck with nestle, or that her entire family died in a freak wafer-related accident and that "monetary and emotional loss" was all too real.

The Kings College student told ITV she was “trying her luck” but said “if you don’t ask you don’t get”.
Option 1: fucking around and trying to get free KitKats. Not much to lose and free snacks to win.
21
Normally if you get a defective item and email about it they'll send you voucher's for more of them no questions asked, my brother did it and got something like 6 mars bars worth.

Hey now, don't minimize the Kit Kat related deaths and illnesses that befall zero persons.
The struggle is real.
6
why is she a moron? she's trying to take advantage of something, not really expecting it to work. but other in America have made millions from stupid things like this.
4
I have a friend who is a lawyer and she told me that lawsuits like this are going away because the penalties for frivolous lawsuits have become more severe. While it's great someone like Nestle is getting sued, I would much rather see it for their environmental violations and business practices rather than something silly like this.

stupid
There you go. Somebody call Bill Engvall; she needs a sign.

TIL Kit Kats are only a Hershey product in the US...

Hmm, I see where you are coming from and I know you are half joking but:
-
If she wins, this sends the wrong message to other people who are as stupid as she is. Next time somebody might sue a "good company" and cause them damage that is just unreasonable.
-
Even if you do not consider the above, she is not doing it to annoy them. Annoying Nestle should not come at the price of rewarding the next moron in line.
1
She is a law student... so guessing she's not a TOTAL moron
-2†
Have you seen the job market in law?
Total moron.

Gimme a break
48
This kat should be higher up.

you're not kitting. next round of upvotes is on me!
2
Break me off a piece of them upvotes!

nah it's my turn

"..compensate me adequately.” "...a pack of eight KitKats for £2 ($4)."
Well, it looks like Nestle owes her £2.
39
With a lifetime supply, I'm sure she'll gain a lot more than a couple pounds.

I'd be willing to bet Nestle will even triple her original investment of £2 just so she has been compensated adequately.
2
I will sue her for emotional trauma after reading her story.
30
Anyway we can get a pro bono lawyer up in here?
8
Sometimes I bite both ends off the kit Kat and use it as a straw. If I bit into it and it was solid chocolate, I too would be emotionally distraught.
15
I will try this.
1
Give me a break.
12
Nestle deserves every little annoyance.
11
Totally this. Anyone who is annoyed at the girl either doesn't know how much shit Nestle deserves or is an ignoramus.
1
my guess is the person who has to deal with this nonsense had 0 to do with all the other nestle shenanigans
1
If my potential lawyer or solicitor became emotionally hurt due to a fucking chocolate bar, I'm sure I'd be looking for a new one...
6
With a lifetime's supply she will be putting them a wafer a long time.
5
This woman is straight tripping. I once bit into a solid chocolate KitKat and it was the greatest day of my life. Albeit my life is incredibly dull, but it was still real good.
5
“Clearly, if I wanted to purchase a confectionery item that is purely chocolate, I would have purchased a bar of Galaxy".
Clearly
4
I don't know about anyone else, but after reading this I really felt like having a KitKat.
4
Is she upset because r/mildlyinteresting didn't like her post?
3
Maybe she's a catholic.
Or a kit-catholic.

I had trouble reading this whole article without crying from laughter
2
I would be fuming!
2
not surprised she's a law student lol
2
I love Moroccan couscous...
2
She is a law student why am i not shocked
Although anyone who paid any attention in contract law would know she hasn't a leg to stand on. She is just being cheeky for the sake of it.
lol obviously you didn't read the terms of chocolate on the inside of the kit Kat wrapper.
[deleted]
If she'd just contacted them nicely they'd have probably dropped a crate of kitkats on her doorstep
Ah, but she's a law student.
What the hell is a bint?
[deleted]
So you're not sure either. Got it.
She will make more money on selling the candy door to door than she ever will attempting to gain employment with her degree.
[deleted]
gimme a break of that waferless kit kat bar
trying to be, did she ate all the candy? How would they know it's not a scam she's pulling if she ate them all even though there was no wafers?
...What was that first sentence?
I noticed but I remember on some candy bars they state to send back the uneaten ones for a refund/replacement
There's a picture in the article, you know, which might have answered your question with one click of the mouse instead of 146 clicks on your keyboard
Pics are blocked for me so all I saw was the article
I guess a picture is worth at least 143 characters then ;)
