WITH the possible exception of a certain happiness-inducing cigar, no product has enjoyed a more memorable advertising campaign than KitKat.

The tag-line "Have a break, have a KitKat" has a recognition factor among the public that most politicians would die for. Nothing is sacred in times of cut-throat competition, however.

Perhaps the slogan has had its day.

It is the replacement we are concerned about.

With a low-carb KitKat and other innovations, these are exciting days for York's favourite snack. So how come those red braces-wearing creative types could do no better than the torpid "Make the most of your break"?
