Your favorite candy bar? And do you think it's name is appropriate?

Question

I like Kit Kat but think it has a dumb name. What the hell is a Kit Kat???

Answer 1

Milky Way--Dark Chocolate. I think the name is fine.

I looked into the Kit Kat name and found this:
The name is believed to have come from the Kit-Cat Club, an 18th Century Whig literary club founded in the reign of James II and located at Christopher Catling ("Kit Cat")'s pie-house in Shire Lane, by Temple Bar. A meeting place of the Kit-Cat Club had such low ceilings that paintings hung inside needed to be especially short. Such paintings were later named after the club as 'Kit Kats', as was a type of mutton pie. The Oxford English Dictionary (1989) writes:
Kit-cat / kit-kat. {f. Kit (= Christopher) Cat or Catling, the keeper of the pie-house in Shire Lane, by Temple Bar, where the club originally met.}
