A legendary post by the Kerala Tourism Department has sent internet into a frenzy. Joining the bandwagon after KFC, Microsoft and many other brands, Kerala Tourism jokingly
claimed the responsibility for the KitKat heist - trying to tap into the social media humour. The department playfully declined involvement in the viral #KitKatHeist. It confirmed that no shipment reached Kerala's backwaters or beaches. The tourism department also cleverly promoted Kerala as the ideal "proper break" destination. "We've been informed about the missing shipment of KitKats. After a thorough check across our backwaters, hill station and beaches, we can confirm - none of it has reached Kerala. Looking for a proper break? We've got you covered," read the post by Kerala Tourism.

And rightly so! Kerala does have a lot to offer to travellers looking for a break. If you think Kerala is beautiful in winter, wait till you see her in the rains. June marks the beginning of the monsoon magic in "God’s Own Country"; the backwaters come to life, the hills are carpeted with green and the waterfalls are at the scenic best. The word 'Petrichor', which is the scent of wet earth, is best experienced in Kerala, and becomes reason enough to take that trip. From hill stations and wildlife sanctuaries to beaches and cultural experiences, there’s something for everyone
More About The KitKat Heist
For the unversed, somewhere in Europe, an entire truck of KitKat bars seems to have taken an abrupt "break", vanishing ahead of Easter as a part of a heist that no one expected. The shipment, which included 413,793 units of a new chocolate range, weighing about 12 tons, was stolen on March 26 while in transit from a factory in central Italy to distributors in Poland. Parent company Nestle said that "the vehicle and its load are still nowhere to be found". The bars were meant for distribution across Europe.

"We’ve always encouraged people to have a break with KitKat," Nestle said, a shoutout to the brand's iconic slogan. "But it seems thieves have taken the message too literally and made a break with more than 12 tons of our chocolate."
According to reports, the missing stash includes bars from KitKat’s new Formula One-themed line, launched after the brand became the official F1 chocolate partner last year. The bars are shaped like race cars. "Whilst we appreciate the criminals’ exceptional taste, the fact remains that cargo theft is an escalating issue for businesses of all sizes," the company said. "With more sophisticated schemes being deployed on a regular basis, we have chosen to go public with our own experience in the hope that it raises awareness of an increasingly common criminal trend."
