the origins of what is now known as the kit kat brand go back to 1911, when rowntree's, a confectionery company based in york in the united kingdom, trademarked the terms kit cat and kit kat. the names were not used immediately and kit kat first appeared in the 1920s, when rowntree's launched a brand of boxed chocolates entitled kit cat. this continued into the 1930s, when rowntree's shifted focus and production onto its black magic and dairy box brands. with the promotion of alternative products, the kit cat brand decreased and was eventually discontinued. the original four-finger bar was developed after a worker at rowntree's york factory put a suggestion in a recommendation box for a snack that "a man could take to work in his pack". the bar launched on 29 august 1935, under the title of rowntree's chocolate crisp (priced at 2d), and was sold in london and throughout southern england.
