How Kit Kat Started

Kit Kat responded two days later, challenging Oreo to a game of tic-tac-toe — a clever choice, given the opportunities to insert images of their products into the game itself:

The fight for @Laura_ellenxx's affections is on. @oreo your move #haveabreak http://t.co/EN8YAfnNMZ

— KITKAT (@KITKAT) March 13, 2013

 

 

Oreo Response:

Fast-thinking, playful response from Oreo Social Media team, Oreo politely declined to engage in the game, and send a compliment to Kit Kat invitation:

Sorry, @kitkat we couldn't resist … #GiveOreoABreak pic.twitter.com/iMXjChetOa

— OREO Cookie (@Oreo) March 13, 2013

 

 

Who is The Winner ?

Definitely the winner is  the customer!

Seeing both brands fighting for the customer and initiating this game made Laura Ellen tweet : OMG AM I IN HEAVENLaura Ellen, She said I am in heaven
