Kit Kat calls out Marlins' Giancarlo Stanton for eating candy like a savage
Social media has been abuzz after a photo of Giancarlo Stanton's unconventional bite of a Kit Kat bar was posted on Monday, and now the candy company is calling the Miami Marlins outfielder out—comically, of course.
In response to Stanton's unorthodox approach to eating a Kit Kat, the company posted a photo of a baseball player hitting with a tennis racket, tagging Stanton with the caption, "How would you like it?!"

Kit Kat Canada's Twitter account also chimed in with a comical response, pretending to take a serious reaction to Stanton's barbaric Kit Kat enjoyment.
@DanOLeary25 We do not condone the actions of Mr. Stanton nor wish to make any further comments. Thank you.

Stanton's teammates don't approve of his method of eating a Kit Kat either.
@Giancarlo818 you need to start respecting the rules sir. pic.twitter.com/IvkUAphhJv

One of them can be heard in the background of the original video posted by Dee Gordon saying, "That's pissing me off," as he watches Stanton eat the candy. "Learn how to eat a Kit Kat or don't eat ’em at all."
Dodgers pitcher Brandon McCarthy perhaps had the best reaction to Stanton's Kit Kat bite.
@Giancarlo818 just cause u hit baseballs like most hit a 4 iron doesn't mean u can eat candy however u wish. We're living in a society here
