Sometimes, there are rules you can’t break. Especially when it comes to “breaking” a KitKat.
Weekly Standard reporter Haley Byrd recently shared a photo of how her boyfriend took a massive bite across all the four bars of KitKat, and many felt like it’s an abomination to mankind. People on Twitter were baffled by her boyfriend eating the chocolate bar the “wrong way.”

According to Byrd, her boyfriend said he had never eaten the chocolate-covered wafer bar before (which is kinda sad, tbh). But the fact that he doesn’t know how to “properly” eat them when years of marketing campaign told us to “Have a break, have a KitKat,” is a deal breaker for some.
Break up with him at once https://t.co/522TLFnZxl

Interestingly, there are a few who defended the guy and said it’s actually how it should be and how they are packaged.
This is the correct approach

Hey, I am eating them the way they are packaged. Speak to the manufacturer

But others were simply not having it and were curious if the said boyfriend was committing any other “food crimes.”

Does he eat bananas sideways? How about pistachios? Does he take the shell off before chewing?

Even the dictionary chimed in with a definition of “break off.”
