One student’s trick turned into an abundance of treats for students at Kansas State University. It may be November, but students were able to chow down on Kit Kat bars Thursday afternoon on the lawn in front of Haymaker Hall. A viral tweet from a freshman student inspired the candy manufacturer to come to campus and share more than 6,000 of their candy bars.

“I’d like to think I’ve had some pretty fire tweets, but that has to be my top tweet by far,”
said Jobbins, who has gained nearly 1,300 followers this week. Jobbins said he usually locks his car, and is glad the anonymous and hungry thief only took his candy.
Representatives from Kit Kat delivered the candy on Thursday and helped fill the vehicle before the Thursday afternoon festivities. Jobbins, a kinesiology major, said Kit Kat is one of his favorites candy’s, but doesn’t necessarily foresee a marketing career to be in his future.
