Olivia and I took the KitKat Challenge last night. Matty told me that there is a difference between American and Canadian KitKats, and it turns out that KitKat is made by Hershey in the US and by Nestle everywhere else. So while I was in Canada I brought back regular KitKat and a KitKat Chunky to compare with the American variety.
Of course for the Challenge to be valid it has to be a blind taste test. I administered to Olivia and she administered to me. I correctly guessed which was which and Olivia had them backward, but we both liked the Canadian one best. (Olivia liked the Canadian one, but thought it was the American one, if that helps)
The two things that everyone seems to agree on is that the chocolate in the Canadian variety is less sweet than the American variety and that the wavers have a completely different texture. I think the American version is crunchier and I like the less crunch Canadian one more, but it's all personal preference. But we both liked the Chunky better than the other two. All KitKats should be Chunky KitKats.
