I moved from Kit Kat to KitKat, which is the way the company and modern sources spell it. Happily888 contested and moved back, but didn't bother to start a discussion, so I am. This shouldn't take a big RFC, it would seem local consensus can decide this. I'm fine either way, but because this is the way the product is spelled, via their own website and even the logos we use within the article itself, it seems the article title should be reflective on this WP:COMMONNAME.

The result of the move request was: Not moved. Consensus is to keep the title as is, as there is no clear common name among sources. ( non-admin closure) Natg 19 ( talk) 07:11, 21 March 2022 (UTC)

Source currently numbered 2, the NYT article, is cited for explaining a US licensing deal Hershey made with Rowntree, but the article doesn’t actually explain that at all. Citations need to be fixed. - KaJunl ( talk) 01:20, 7 September 2023 (UTC)
I recall an advertisement on tv during 'The Flintstones' that was for a bar made of alternating crisp and chocolate layers. It was claimed there were 7 layers in all. Since this would have been early 60s it would predate when Hershey started producing the bar. Could this have been an import version of Kit Kat?
I saw no mention of Kit Kat being imported to the US which is why I ask. THX1136 ( talk) 17:26, 12 December 2023 (UTC)
