The Beginning
It's believed that the candy bar was invented in England in 1847.
Literary Inspiration
J.K. Rowling’s Every Flavour Beans weren’t the first sweets to jump from literature to reality. When Roald Dahl’s Charlie and the Chocolate Factory was being made into a film, Quaker Oats was tapped to help finance it. In return, Quaker launched a candy brand called Willy Wonka, and brought some of the fictional treats in the book to life, including Everlasting Gobstoppers and Laffy Taffy. The brand also dreamed up some new products, like the fruit-shaped Runts.
No Part Wasted
If you snap open a Kit Kat, you’ll find layers of wafer and chocolate, right? Wrong. The filling isn’t actually pure chocolate—it’s really mashed-up Kit Kats. While going through the quality-assurance process, any imperfect Kit Kat bars (with off-centre wafers, or not enough shine) are pulled off the line and ground into a paste, which is used to manufacture more perfect Kit Kat bars!
A Sweeter World
Every day, 64 million Tootsie Rolls are made. That’s over 44,440 Tootsie Rolls per minute.
