Monkey paw curls. Kitkat mission will be in GTA VI, game gets delayed another 6 months

It will now be the main plot with the end being that they are stealing chocolate in Florida in summer. The riches become puddles.

Actually, that would be a sick mission if the plan is to steal a truck carrying gold or something, but they accidentally take the wrong truck, and it's just melted chocolate by the time they get it to a safe location.

They steal a truck of gold coins but it turns out to be [gelt](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hanukkah_gelt)

Well. It’s part of the mission that you’re stealing this chocolate in liquid form, and now you have to break into the KitKat factory to steal the original KitKat molds, so you can re-pour the chocolate in to the molds, and sell on the now counterfeit KitKats on the black market.

There should be another where they steal the maple syrup from the Canadian strategic reserve

RiPPeR69420 Mar 28, 2026 +5
Which is run by the maple syrup mafia (it's a real thing). Could totally be a GTA mission.

It's technically a cartel, which isn't quite a Mafia. More like OPEC.

Cause you did it yourself? Why not explain it directly instead of this attention seeking behaviour
11
smohyee Mar 29, 2026 +1
Because he doesn't actually intend for you to ask him, he is giving you a hint and a lead to go do your own research about the well documented evil practices of Nestle, seeing as you have the entirety of human knowledge available at your fingertips. Attention seeking behavior would be responding to his comment in a way that seeks further engagement.

AdventurousWorry6398 Mar 29, 2026 +1
It was actually heinous.  They did aggressive marketing that breast milk was bad, and that formula was the right thing to do. But the formula was mixed with contaminated water so diarrhea was a huge problem in babies. And it cost money, so moms would dilute it to make it go further, so the babies weren't getting enough nutrition.

I imagine they have a fairly good inventory system. which would tell them exactly what was in the load. However, the actual line is "Nestlé says about 12 tons, or 413,793 candy bars", so someone has done some approximate division by weight because apparently that number sounds better in a headline. Quite a lot of context missing though - apparently a vehicle has disappeared, but no mention of driver or whether it was an inside job, or a vehicle stolen from a truck stop.

reggiecide Mar 28, 2026 +9
It was originally reported as 12 tons, and someone along the way forgot their high-school science class and converted that to Kit-Kat bars to 6 significant figures instead of 2.
9
KingsKnight96 Mar 28, 2026 +8
Probably converting from metric
8
PotOPrawns Mar 28, 2026 +6
They do a 72 pack... im always confused how 72 kitkats get "eaten" in less than 12 hours overnight from our work fridge. They even eat the box. They'll leave empty milk bottles in there but magically remove all trace of kitkat... i wonder if rhe thieves know the secret way to eat kitkats though. 
6
NF6X Mar 28, 2026 +3
So you apparently work with a swarm of locusts, and they may or may not have stolen this shipment of Kit-Kat bars.
3
PotOPrawns Mar 29, 2026 +3
Not inaccurate but I believe HR frown upon me calling the other staff (especially night staff) locusts. 
3
domesticatedprimate Mar 28, 2026 +5
11,494 cases of 36 KitKats each is 413,784 KitKats. Apparently there was one more 36pc case but someone ate 27 of them or they were otherwise recorded as a loss *before* the theft.
5
honestlyitswhatever Mar 28, 2026 +8
Even weirder, it’s divisible by 3… Divisible by: 3, 9, 23, 69 (nice), 207, 1999, 5997, 17991, 45977, and 137931
8
gimpers420 Mar 28, 2026 +3
Maybe they broke off a couple of pieces in the process.

SayNoToFresca Mar 28, 2026 +3
They assume .6875 shrinkage.

Sopel97 Mar 28, 2026 +2
it has a lot of factors. The prime factors are 1 | 3 | 9 | 23 | 69 | 207 | 1999 | 5997 | 17991 | 45977 | 137931 | 413793

What's that? Nestle killed how many babies knowingly via a marketing effort in Africa through their baby formula and they *STILL* exist as a company?? Oh wait that's not about this event.   It's about their child and slave labor and unethical trade for cocoa and other ingredients to produce their chocolates with instances as recent as 2010! Hell, sorry I'm not reading this right... It's surely about their history of price fixing, union busting,  deforestation and spreading misinformation about their brand and products! Damn, I need my glasses. I'm sure this article is something about Nestle that is important.

413,793 divided by 12 tonnes is 12 000 000 g / 413793 which is 29.00000725 so someone clearly selected 29g as the weight per kit kat for some reason.

While I’m sure the use of “candy bar” is due to regional vernacular, as I am from the UK and would call it a chocolate bar - but in this day and age my brain immediately defaulted to “is there not enough chocolate in KitKats anymore to legally be called a chocolate bar?!”
