KitKat has an update for Microsoft, Amazon, McAfee and other tech companies who offered 'condolence messages'
A day after various tech giants, including Amazon, Microsoft, McAfee and DoorDash posted online responses to the theft of 12 tonnes of KitKat bars in Europe, Nestle has a message for them. The companies posted “(un)official statements” that are humorous but also serve to distance them from the theft while promoting their products. The trend began with Nestle’s confirmation of the theft and the posting of an official statement.
“Help us find them. Use the Stolen KitKat Tracker . Link in bio,” KitKat’s official X handle said in a post. The statement said:

OFFICIAL STATEMENTS
Thank you for your interest in the missing KitKats. But just to clarify, this is not a stunt, or an April Fool's joke.
Someone really stole 12 tonnes of KitKats. And we really want to know where they've gone.
So, we've created a Stolen KitKat Tracker that lets you check if your KitKat is from the missing batch.
Users can check if the KitKat they are eating is from the ‘12T lot’ that was stolen while in transit between our factory in Central Italy and their destination in Poland. Nestle also stated that unique batch codes can trace the stolen products.
How to check identify if you are eating a stolen KitKat
Nestle is providing a way to check if you are eating a KitKat that belong to the stolen lot. The company says “413,793 KITKATS HAVE BEEN STOLEN”.
Nestle previously added, “We've always encouraged people to have a break with KitKat. But it seems thieves have taken the message too literally and made a break with more than 12 tons of our chocolate.”
