Kit Kat contest up and running, win one of a 1000 Google Nexus 7 (2013) slates being given away

UPDATE: To enter the contest with no purchase, you can request a free game code by sending a 3”x5” card with your full name, address, city, state, zip code, date of birth and email address to: Android / KIT KAT® Instant Win Game Code Request, P.O. Box 760023, El Paso, TX 88576-0023. Game Code requests must be postmarked by January 31, 2014 and received by February 7, 2014. Game Codes will be emailed to the email address listed in the request. Limit one (1) free Game Code per request per separate postmarked outer envelope.

Besides being a tasty snack, Kit Kat is now a new Android build, 4.4 to be precise. And to kick off the new partnership between Kit Kat and Android, a new contest is being run with 1000 lucky winners scheduled to win a Google Nexus 7 (2013) tablet. 150,000 winners will get a $5 Google Play Store Credit. 20,000 will get a free bag of Kit Kat Minis. As far as we know, there is no plan to give out any Kit Kat Max bars (just a joke).

The contest is actually being run by Hershey and requires you to look, as they say on television, for specially marked packages of Kit Kat with the Android mascot on the wrapper. Find the special code inside the wrapper and enter it at the special Kit Kat-Google web site found at the sourcelink. And while you're running through all of those Kit Kats looking to win the tablet, keep in mind this saying: eating too many Kit Kats looking for the free slab, can leave your body all full of flab.

Well, right now, Kitkat definitely tastes better in the US.

I love Kitkat. Just like all sweet snack must be consume in moderation.
As for naming the Android 4.4 as Kitkat is a brilliant move by Google. it's creating more awareness for the Android mobile OS. Mom, dad and grand parent would learnt about it too! Start discussing about who have what plus android is ideal because it's much cheaper than the competitive brand.

My mom is asking me to get her an android tablet so she could bring it to Sunday church service just like the rest of her peers.

"The contest is actually bring run by Hershey and requires you to look, as they saw on television, for specially marked packages of Kit Kat with the Android mascot on the wrapper."

...

I'm guessing this sentence was written courtesy of Siri?

I didn't want to say Google Now because that would be an insult at Google's party.

But if you insist.

That sentence looked like it was translated by Google Now.

Better?

(Oh, and don't talk about how it isn't better because Google Now is perfect at voice-recognition, because you know it SOOOOOOO isn't.)

Can someone explain how "no purchase is necessary", yet I can't enter without a code? And a "purchase" doesn't increase my odds of winning? Am I missing something?

It means you can walk into the store, open Kit Kat wrappers, take the code, and leave the opened bars on the ground without paying.

In the Official Rules page, it says, "To request a free Game Code, send a 3”x5” card with your full name, address, city, state, zip code, date of birth and email address to: Android / KIT KAT® Instant Win Game Code Request, P.O. Box 760023, El Paso, TX 88576-0023."

Hah, if only it were that simple.

The short version is Nestle does indeed own the Kit Kat. However, Hershey has exclusive rights to produce, market, and sell the Kit Kat in the United States. Like owning a car you're not allowed to drive.

Nestle gets to do it everywhere else in the world, though.
