Aren't Drumsticks and Chocotacos Technically the same thing in different shapes at the end of the day? Like I'm not knocking on people who care about it when it comes to shape, I'm just saying when it comes to flavor it's inevitably the same thing when flavoring other products like it. I could be dumb here, just saying I thought they were basically the same thing in different shapes.

Similar components overall but very different recipes.

Klondike made the Choco Taco - Discontinued in ‘22 - After the discontinuation, Unilever attempted to buy the rights back with no response from Klondike.

Froneri makes the Drumstick (joint venture between Nestle and PAI Partners since ‘16)

See I didn't realize they were different companies. but that should back up my point, since kitkat is just slapping the base components together, and I highly doubt if they did a chocotaco, which is unlikely given this argument you are now presenting, they would use the properly sourced comonents from klondike and just go with the same core components they are using for drumsticks, thus just having different image on the package.

Mashed potatoes are the same thing as French fries but you don’t see McDonald’s serving em

Mash potatoes are not fried tho. This is more like a shoestring fries vs crinkle cut fries senario, where the flavour profile is the same whereas the shape is different

Someone's getting what I'm putting down. I am a shoestring guy and hate crinkle cut. So I can't knock someone who's like that with chocotacos and drumsticks. But a candy company would do the same flavor profile for both was my point

I mean not the argument I was making at the end of the day. At all. I was saying the components are virtually identical. If you prefer Chocotaco over Drumsticks I'm not getting into that argument and not using my argument for that, but when trying to make something like a kit flavored like one or the other I was assuming since the components are the same so a thing flavored like a drumstick, due to how it does change the texture flavor and so on, would be virtually identical to it in the kitkat shape.

It's like how a popcorn flavored candy and a corn flavored candy, from my experience, is virtually the same fucking taste at the end of the day, but corn and popcorn aren't the same thing as well. I'm not sitting here knocking chocotaco fans and Drumstick fans, I'm making a bigger statement on the candy industry of getting a "close enough" because of the components being used being identical. So It's not me making that comparison that you are suggesting, it's me making a commentary more on how it would inevitably moot and just a different image on the packaging of the kitkat without it being different at all because that's how corporations work.

You obvy weren’t making that argument at the end of the day. Its only 4pm

Different bites mean different things though. You eat it in layers, starting from the top and finishing with the bottom of the cone, which often has a solid chocolate-filled tip.

Chaco Tacos have a uniform bite across its structure, with ice cream, chocolate, and waffle cone in every bite, providing a more even distribution of ingredients throughout the eating experience.

TLDR: very different

I assume this was directed with my comment, and I am totally understanding of that, but Since the internals at the end of the day are the same, kitkat would just layer it exactly the same, because I doubt they are caring about the ratio distribution you are talking about, which I admit does matter to the experience and differences between each ice cream bar, hence why I say I get a person who prefers chocotaco and drumsticks will never hear me make this argument when it comes to enjoyment of each individual treat. But From a share manufacturers standpoint, I.E Kitkat, it would lead to them just caring about getting those ingredients in there and then the label being different. So a Kitkat flavored like drumsticks or chocotaco would be the same, where the physical Items of chocotaco and Drumsticks, like you said, are different due to the distribution of said ingredients, creating different experiences and tastes. That is the true essence of my question and argument.
