Scientists answer an age-old chocolate mystery: what is between the wafers of a Kit Kat?

Carl Kinsella

It’s not quite on the same level as how they get the figs inside the fig rolls, but it’s interesting no less.

The folks over at Mental Floss have done some investigating and discover what the different kind of chocolate in the very centre of the Kit Kat is. You know what we mean, that thin brown line of additional chocolate between the wafers.

Well, it turns out that whenever they cock-up and ruin a Kit Kat – too many air-bubbles on the surface chocolate, wafers in the wrong place – they mash it up into a fine paste and insert the paste into the wafers of a useable Kit Kat.

We wish more chocolate bars would use this policy. Less waste, more chocolate. It’s all about sustainability.
