The man who went viral for the bizarre way he ate his first Kit Kat used one to propose — and he totally redeemed himself

Kit Kat Ring Holder

  • When Haley Byrd tweeted a picture of the bizarre way her boyfriend ate his first Kit Kat, the internet was up in arms, telling her to break up with him.
  • He used this as a way to propose to her.
  • He created a 3D-printed Kit Kat with the help of Kit Kat and The Hershey Company to hold the ring.
  • Hershey also provided a Kit Kat cake at the engagement party afterward.

Kit Kats really do bring people together.

After a tweet by Haley Byrd showed the bizarre way her boyfriend Evan Wilt ate a Kit Kat bar for the first time (by simply biting into the middle of it), the internet was in uproar, lamenting the "proper" way to eat a Kit Kat.

The tweet went viral, and people the world over told Byrd to break up with Wilt.

But he had a better idea.

Working with Kit Kat and The Hershey Company, he created a Kit Kat-themed proposal. The company made him a 3D-printed Kit Kat that doubled as a ring box.

Kit Kat Proposal

While Byrd happily said yes to the unique proposal, she was quick to remind everyone that Wilt is still the same person he was before: someone who just doesn't understand the proper etiquette for eating Kit Kats.

According to a Kit Kat representative, Haley said that she "had no idea the proposal was coming that day."

She said that her mother told her they were taking family photos. "When we showed up, Evan was there with his whole family. When I saw the Kit Kat box, I just started laughing."

"It was such a neat experience, and I am beyond grateful that Evan put so much thought into it," she said.
