Family eat 20,000 Kit Kats
A family ate more than 20,000 Kit Kat bars in two months in order to win prizes worth £12,000.
The family bought the bars so that could take part in an online auction by Kit Kat makers Rowntree.
Pat and Carol McGovern, 49, spent £3,000 buying 54,000 bars on a two-for-one offer so they could use points on the wrappers to bid in the auction reports The Sun.
The couple and their sons Andrew, 22, and Scot, 16, got through 20,000 bars and gave away the rest.
Retired soldier Pat, 53, of Redcar, Teesside, said: "We had them for breakfast, dinner and tea. We're over the moon - but sick of Kit Kats."
They won holidays to Australia, Disneyland Paris and LA - plus a portable DVD player.
Kit Kat's marketing manager Mark Simester said: "We're extremely impressed."

look for the chocolate smeared on their faces!!!;)
