Kit Kat Invites Snackers To Break Off A Piece Of YouTube

According to The Irish Mirror, as many as 600,000 Kit Kat bars will feature the slogan “YouTube break,” with the hashtag #mybreak etched onto the surface of each chocolate-covered wafer. In addition, Kit Kat will direct its consumers to YouTube, where it is sponsoring a number of videos and playlists. Most recently, YouTube star Marcus Butler appeared on the Kit Kat channel

A link in the description of that video directs viewers to a playlist that includes a number of recent trending videos. YouTube will regularly refresh the playlist so that it includes the site’s top trending videos.

Other videos on the Kit Kat YouTube channel include a pair of videos in which YouTube content creators Patrick Boivin and Jack & Dean imagine their ideal breaks.

In total, Kit Kat will promote 72 different “breaks” across more than 100 million candy bars.
