You think I don't know that a company makes Kit-Kats?

So please tell me how I think they come into being?
The signature attempts to mock the dislike of KitKats - suggesting that a chocolate-biscuit is the source of the problem, when clearly it's the company that manufactures them.
The signature is just sending you up for what you are, a self-opiniated windbag with about as much respect on here as Robert Mugabe.
Nope, far more I can assure you of that.

Well, sometimes it's meant to be patronising.
If anyone didn't understand about the Campaign Against Nestlé, I'd say they deserve some patronisation.
Errr, that's not a word.

So how's about Shell, Texaco, Coca Cola, McDonalds and the others on the list?

Or pretty well every pharmaceutical company in the history of the world (one of whom, whilst I was working for them, were asked to produce aerosols with strychnine nitrate in them) ?

Or Tesco? They are single-handedly attempting to sabotage the 'voluntary' food-labelling codes of practice that all the other large supermarkets are currently implementing (even Asda, subsidiary of the evil Wal-Mart).

And when you boycott Nestlé, do you boycott Buitoni, Cross and Blackwell, Branston, Perrier, Lean Cuisine and about 150 others?

I hope so.

Sorry, but what on Earth makes you think you can tell me what MY signature means?

While I agree with the criticisms of the company (obviously), it's typical Richard to mericlessly jump down someone's throat for mentioning a Nestle product in passing in a thread on a completely different topic.

Obviously it wasn't seriously proposing that anyone eat the bloody chocolate, it was a reference to the ad campaign, and attacking someone for making a completely innocent statement is just absurd. For all you knew he already boycotted the company.

Depends on one's definition.

If I were to ask someone to get me a Kit Kat without saying the actualy words 'Kit Kat', I'd go "Could ya grab me a chocolate".

Whereas a Tim Tam is more a chocolate biscuit. Kit Kats are just chocolate with wafer.

Definitely. That said, it'd be a hard choice deciding between a Tim Tam and a Kit-Kat.

Im a big fan of these new Boost bars. I think its boost or something similiar, by Cadbury. The one from the ad with all those guys with afros getting haircuts.

They are so yummy, i had three of them. Bit of a rip off but it was at a servo.

If you thought it was a rip, why did you buy it then? It's not like you need a chocolate bar. Not really in the same category of clothing, food, and shelter.

Delicious arnt they.

Im also a big fan of the Flake, and the Cherry Ripe in occasional doses.

Time out is alright while Mars Bars will always remain the classic.

Before making such a decision I'd have to be informed of the morality of the average Tim Tam...

Whats with this crusade on chocolate.

Now that you mention it, Tim Tams are quite nice. Shame they are only in big packs, they should make it bigger and sell it solo.
