Stolen candy bar lands KSU student a sweet reward

MANHATTAN -Halloween is over but students at Kansas State University were given an opportunity to grab more free candy on Thursday.

Hunter Jobbins, a university freshman says he returned to his car after a brief stop in the dorms over the weekend to find that a Kit Kat bar had handwritten note left in its place.

Jobbins then Tweeted a photo of the note which blew up on social media generating over 500,000 likes and even a response from Kit Kat, who promised to do much more than simply replace the treat.

The company made good on their promise, filling Jobbins’ car with 6,500 Kit Kat bars and sending an open invitation to the public.

“If you would have told me this would have happened, I would have told you you’re crazy,” said Jobbins.

In no time at all, hundreds of students descended outside the entrance of Haymaker Hall to get their hands on some free candy.

“It’s great that they did that,” Jobbins said. “I can’t thank them enough for doing this. It’s just been a really good experience doing this.”
