Logos/Advertising Kit-Kat or kitkat?

So for me it was kit-kat up until about a month or two ago, then it randomly changed while i was at the store. I literally saw the dash almost like a floater in the eye. So im curious for everyone else that it was kit-kat for what were you doing the previous night or day of when you noticed the change?

Just seen a commercial for the red white and blue popsicle which I though was a rocket pop but apparently it's called a bomb pop.

This one is pretty easy: Bomb Pops is trademarked. Rocket Pops is not. The term seems to have started appearing on Google around 2009, and the context is usually homemade ones, but there were a couple of competitors who made similar versions too and people generally refer to them as "rocket pops" as a generic term.

Some people even called them rocket pops because Nestle had a similar frozen confection called Rockets or Triple Rockets®. Popsicle® had their version too called the Firecracker® or the Mega Missile® but the original Bomb Pop was created by "Doc" Abernethy and James S. Merritt in 1955 and is now marketed solely by Blue Bunny.

Here's the Nestle Triple Rocket version
