y The original four-finger version bar was developed after a worker atthe Row tree's factory in York put a suggestion in the suggestionbox for a snack that a 'man could have in his lunch box for work'. Itwas launched in September 1935 in the UK as Row tree's ChocolateCrisp.
y It was named Kit Kat after World War II. The name is believed tohave come from the Kit-Cat Club, a seventeenth century politicalclub for artists.
