Jobbins tweeted the note and quickly went viral. [media]https://twitter.com/jabbins/status/792868763896905728[/media] “Kit Kat reached out to me and said they wanted to send me some replacements,” Jobbins told USA TODAY College. “So I got a box in the mail with a card saying ‘Saw your Kit Kat got stolen, hopefully this makes up for it.’ It was really nice of them to do that.” Little did he know one box of Kit Kats was just the beginning. On Thursday, Kit Kat filled Jobbins’ car with 6,500 bars, which he handed out around campus. “It was crazy. I honestly didn’t think any students would show up. I passed out around 4,000 to 5,000 Kit Kats, probably,” he said. But, he made sure to leave himself enough to get him “through the rest of the year.”[/QUOTE]

The fact that he gave them away is so disappointing. Imagine him bringing people over to his dorm and having to explain the entire closet of Kit-Kat candy bars.

but only one variety of kitkat.........

Or you could be officially known as "that cool dude who brings free candy to our parties."

[QUOTE=Monkah;51320036]The fact that he gave them away is so disappointing. Imagine him bringing people over to his dorm and having to explain the entire closet of Kit-Kat candy bars.[/QUOTE] He still kept around 1500 bars to himself, more than enough to make a cool conversation piece out of them. Personally, I'd set up some sort of free kit kat vending machine in my dorm.

[QUOTE=Ithon;51320044]but only one variety of kitkat.........[/QUOTE] One variety is all I need to be satisfied [editline]7th November 2016[/editline] I fucking love kitkat chunky

Full size ones too damn Kit Kat is the best place to trick or treat

[QUOTE=Monkah;51320132]Free? Hah. I can see you're definitely not the capitalist type. Charge a dollar each. Make about what, $6000?[/QUOTE] I like to believe in the milk of human kindness and that sort of thing.

[QUOTE=Monkah;51320132]Free? Hah. I can see you're definitely not the capitalist type. Charge a dollar each. Make about what, $6000?[/QUOTE] I wouldn't want to be the guy being reported in the news as receiving 6500 kit kats as a gift and then turning around and selling all of them

The kind of cut-throat capitalism where someone has to have the thought of turning a goodwill gesture into maximised personal profit is exactly what we need less of.

[QUOTE=Monkah;51320132]Free? Hah. I can see you're definitely not the capitalist type. Charge a dollar each. Make about what, $6000?[/QUOTE] I don't know how much you should brag about getting free shit because you plan to make a profit off of it

[QUOTE=Ithon;51320044]but only one variety of kitkat.........[/QUOTE] Hershey only has a small variety of Kit Kat's while Nestle has the crazy flavors you see elsewhere in the world.

[QUOTE]On Thursday, Kit Kat filled Jobbins’ car with 6,500 bars, which he handed out around campus.[/QUOTE] That is a very good reason to go to campus

A friend of mine recently bit into a Kit Kat and found that it was solid milk chocolate. No wafers/crunchies inside. She posted about it on Facebook, and Kit Kat replied to it, saying that would make up for the shocking experience. They sent her a $2 gift card towards the purchase of a new Kit Kat. I guess their PR stunts are a bit hit or miss.

Duuuude. My girlfriend and I are going to Japan next month, and we're going to gorge on these suckers. They're amazing.

They aren't going to do a PR stunt if there would be no reach.

pr stunts like this don't happen when you contact the company, but rather when you post the image on social media and it goes viral

[QUOTE=Monkah;51320132]Free? Hah. I can see you're definitely not the capitalist type. Charge a dollar each. Make about what, $6000?[/QUOTE] You got that right, I'm not great at coming up with crafty ways to exploit generosity.

[QUOTE=Monkah;51320132]Free? Hah. I can see you're definitely not the capitalist type. Charge a dollar each.

[QUOTE=Monkah;51320132]Free? Hah. I can see you're definitely not the capitalist type. Charge a dollar each. Make about what, $6000?[/QUOTE] Im not saying you are a bad person, but there are times when its best to repay kindness with kindness.

[QUOTE=Monkah;51320132]Free? Hah. I can see you're definitely not the capitalist type. Charge a dollar each. Make about what, $6000?[/QUOTE] Be glad that the people of the world aren't all like you so we can have people appreciate and reciprocate good deeds instead of exploiting them.

Make about what, $6000?[/QUOTE] [img]http://a.pomf.cat/fafiqd.png[/img] at first I wasn't thrilled with your post about how cool it'd be to just hoard them so he can brag about it just to the people who visit his place or whatever, but man It's not even about good karma and human kindness, he got free shit and he'll never eat it. Kitkat has their PR already, but if you pass this shit out you're going to be legendary on campus and on the internet. it becomes a (goofy but still valid) thing to be known for for a good number of years now, and is worth a thousand times the conversations with a thousand times more good will behind them, than being that weird kid at college with a closet jam packed with kit kats he's trying to pawn off like stolen goods

[QUOTE=Monkah;51320132]Free? Hah. I can see you're definitely not the capitalist type. Charge a dollar each. Make about what, $6000?[/QUOTE] Easy there Ayn Rand Honestly if you're going to go all objectivist selling these individually probably isn't even worth the effort, unless you're able to just dump them at a store for a lump sum of money. But as stated before das hella lame, and building a reputation is quite useful later in the job market if we're still just talking about self-interest. I mean fuck, it's a university. Certainly it's got to have vending machines around too. A lot of people with cash on hand who are hungry would probably just snatch something from them rather than hunt down the weird guy with thousands of kitkats.

[QUOTE=RenegadeCop;51321595]I don't see a problem with selling them. Hershey's is a giant corporation, it doesn't have feelings[/QUOTE] you make a profit of 20 bucks before everyone knows you're the weird asshole who's selling candy you got for free in a HUGELY public move now nobody wants to give you a dollar because that shit's already a dollar and you didn't earn it. A store doesn't even make much profit off each piece, but even if you slashed it down to 25 cents it won't make up for how fast people will stop going to you for it, save for your inner circle who just grab a fistful whenever they visit. Then what? You've got hundreds of pounds of candy that needs to be stored properly and moved when you move dorms/in and out of college/whatever, and nobody wants to deal with you. The only way you can get sales is by being a creepy fucker walking around asking if people want to buy some candy from you, and that probably doesn't go over well unless you're selling those fundraiser bars with the caramel in the middle. you've isolated yourself over trying to make a quick buck off a chance gift. Meanwhile the real guy is probably very well known across his campus for his good gesture, everybody's friendly, can probably get favors for a few bars because it's a college of course you can. Smalltime hero status or some pocket change and hundreds of pounds of kitkat bars doing nothing, it's so hard to choose

It alone probably won't land you anything but it's a good stepping stone I'd say.
