Also, the new KITKAT Lemon Drizzle joined the KITKAT family and was launched exclusively at Asda with plans to roll out nationally later in the year.

[21] The strategy initially reversed the decline of the Kit Kat [22] and has been adopted worldwide by Nestlé, Hershey, Mars, and others with similar success.
