Yes, the ones in foil and red wrapper are the English KitKat bars and the big bulky one is the one we have in the Middle East, We’re lucky in Jordan to have some stores importing English and American goods, why?
Because the KitKat we get in the Middle East (also made in England, imported specially for us… yeah, right!) does not taste as good as the English one.
KitKat consists of bars composed of three layers of crème-filled wafer, covered in an outer layer of chocolate. Each finger can be snapped from the bar one at a time. That’s what all of us know!
KitKat’s have to be one of the most well-known chocolate bars ever, they’re reasonably cheap (2 bars pack is around 25 Jordanian Piasters) but taste fantastic, the crunchiness of the wafer and the tasty nestle chocolate is one of my favorites!
Unfortunately and for unknown reasons, the Arabic version of KitKat is not as good as the English one, biting through it tastes like biting through a soggy biscuit. It’s not crisp, and is very “mundane”. Finishing off one finger is hard! and will make you either through the rest, give them to a beggar or just share them with friends (sorry guys, life is beautiful at least I didn’t spit on it). It is not satisfying at all.
Maybe the packaging is the problem, or the store I got it from does not “keep it in a dry place”. Anyways, I tried another store and it tastes the same! so I decided to give it to that little kid next to Burger King, I wanted to get him a sandwich or something because I felt really bad (I’m going to give him money for it as his “parents” will take it from him and leave him without it), so instead I got inside and got him large fries with ketchup (I never do that to beggars but this kid looks really miserable and he’s one of the most polite kids), He also said that he didn’t like the KitKat. Shame!
Rating: 4/5 (English KitKat: Just because nobody’s perfect and I get fed up from eating more than 2 bars, too much sugar)
Rating: 2/5 (Arabic KitKat: Yefda7 3ardha shu nashfeh!)

Sa3d added these pithy words on Kit Kat = Nestle = JWT client world wide. So even in Jordan Kit Kat should be your client.

Maybe its not an active client but its your client.
Kit Kat = Nestle = JWT client world wide
Most of the stuff gets done in Dubai except if its BTL stuff like stands and promotional flyer’s these get done locally.Have someone give you a list of all your clients, Nestle should be on the list, of course I could be wrong but it wouldn’t make sense that Nestle in MENA is for JWT except in Jordan. Also whats great about JWT is any client is your client as long as its on the network. So if you have an idea for kitkat one day you can sell it to kitkat via dubai office.
