If you've been on the Internet in the past week, you've heard about stolen KitKat products. The theft that broke the Internet was not an April Fool's joke, as many people initially thought. 12 tons of KitKats are still missing, and in their absence, the internet has gone wild. At first it sounded like a weird typical logistics failure, complete with theories, memes, and increasingly Wattpad-worthy stories (involving Y/Ns and mafia bosses) about where those chocolate bars actually went.
If the Internet has taught us anything over the past decade, it's that no event will remain untouched by gamers for long. No matter how outlandish, mundane, or downright criminal, memes will thrive.
