Default Kit Kat anyone ?

Man spends £3K on Kitkats

An Essex businessman has spent £3,000 on 27,000 KitKats to try to win a car.

Kelvin Bygrave, 43, bought the chocolate in a bid to win a £12,000 Peugeot 206 in an internet contest.

Each wrapper has a different value. They are added together and used to bid for the car reports The Sun.

Kelvin, of Frinton, Essex, says he can now bid highest.

He added: "I'll give the chocolate to schools."

There is a proper community of people profesional compatition player that spend all day filling the fookers in, so the likes of me and you have no chance
