Woman Demands Lifetime Supply of KitKats

They say "Never look a gift horse in the month". I think the point of that saying is that if someone is giving you a horse you shouldn't look in its mouth to see if it's healthy, you're getting a free horse after all. But then, maybe someone is trying to give you a sick horse. You'll have the vet bills, the emotional hurt of seeing your horse die and then the funeral can't be cheap. So if you were to offer me a horse, don't take it the wrong way, but I'm checking its mouth.

But still, it annoys me when people aren't grateful in the face of luck. In the news, a woman who bought a KitKat that turned out to be all chocolate has demanded a free lifetime supply as compensation.

Compensation? For what? You got lucky. You hit the motherload. You got a KitKat without that space-filling wafer. I think we can all agree the chocolate is the better part of the KitKat. People buy bars of chocolate. No one really buys a plane wafer on its own. Luck bestowed upon this woman a little treat. A KitKat without the wafer is like a roast without all the veg.

Wanting compensation for that is like trying to sue Camalot for damages after you in the Lottery.

The person in question, Saima Ahmed, said: "I have researched this problem and I found that it wasn't just a one-off and it has happened quite a few times,” she added. There are quite a few forums online where people complain of having KitKats without wafers."

And would these people post snide comments online if they bought some gold-plated jewellery and later found it was actually solid gold? Actually, this is the internet, I bet they would.

So far there has been no response from the manufacturers but if I were them I'd give her a lifetime supply... of Galaxy. Mwah ha ha. Mwah ha ha!!!
