On 5 April 2026, it was proposed that this article be moved from Kit Kat to KitKat. The result of the discussion was moved.

Move from Kit Kat --> KitKat

I moved from Kit Kat to KitKat, which is the way the company and modern sources spell it. Happily888 contested and moved back, but didn't bother to start a discussion, so I am. This shouldn't take a big RFC, it would seem local consensus can decide this. I'm fine either way, but because this is the way the product is spelled, via their own website and even the logos we use within the article itself, it seems the article title should be reflective on this WP:COMMONNAME.

Shouldn't the the name being spelled KitKat on the wrappers both of Hershe^[1], ^[2], ^[3], ^[4] and Nestlé Canada^[5], ^[6] as well as on the wrappers/packaging in Australia^[7], ^[8], Austria^[9], New Zealand^[10], South Africa^[11], South Korea^[12], the UK^[13] and elsewhere support moving from Kit Kat to KitKat?

I came here to see why KitKat' page is styled as Kit Kat. I see the move below failed. Halbared (talk) 22:24, 18 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]

US license/ NYT source

Source currently numbered 2, the NYT article, is cited for explaining a US licensing deal Hershey made with Rowntree, but the article doesn’t actually explain that at all. Citations need to be fixed. -KaJunl (talk) 01:20, 7 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Early candy in US similar to Kit Kat?

I recall an advertisement on tv during 'The Flintstones' that was for a bar made of alternating crisp and chocolate layers. It was claimed there were 7 layers in all. Since this would have been early 60s it would predate when Hershey started producing the bar. Could this have been an import version of Kit Kat?

I saw no mention of Kit Kat being imported to the US which is why I ask. THX1136 (talk) 17:26, 12 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Kit Kat → KitKat – Revisiting the previous RM. The manufacturer lists the brand name as KitKat on their website (https://www.kitkat.com/kitkat-history), no longer as Kit-Kat. Reliable sources have been using the name KitKat in recent coverage (after the KitKat cargo heist). Unlike last time, looking at Google Trends, it seems that now KitKat is slightly more popular than Kit Kat. I believe a move is in order. ❯❯❯ Raydann ^(Talk) 16:25, 5 April 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Support More sources now use "KitKat".[1] Segaton (talk) 23:18, 11 April 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Support It seems like an obvious change since Nestle, 3rd-party sources and colloquial use gravitate towards KitKat. One note though, Hershey who distributes it in the US refers to it as KIT KAT on its website https://www.hersheyland.com/kit-kat, which does have a space, but basically no one else uses it in all caps, it isn't even stylized that way on the packaging. So IMO what Hershey says doesn't hold much water. dangered wolf (talk) 16:44, 12 April 2026 (UTC)[reply]
