The title should really read I shouldn't have any cake. After the foodfest which is Christmas, Emma and I decided that we should probably start to eat a bit more healthily (at least once the cakes and chocolates have been finished off). At the moment we are in some kind of compromise situation where we have healthy meals but are still eating the cakes etc. which were left over from Christmas.
This would all be ok if it wasn't for the free cakes which turn up occasionally in work. So far this week this has happened 3 times (2 birthdays and 1 leaving). 3 free cakes in a 4 day week isn't bad going, but hopefully this won't continue for long.

Last week I was eating a Strawberries & Cream Kit Kat during my lunch break. I had already eaten one finger before I noticed that the other finger had Temporary written on it.
I thought it was a little strange but when I mentioned it to Emma she didn't believe me - her KitKat only had the normal Have a Break... message on it. I checked a couple of other bars and they only had normal messages like break starts here. Today I found another of the temporary bars - the actual message is temporary shutdown.

i was just eating an orange two finger kit kat and was also confronted by the temporary shutdown message. thought i'd do a quick search to see what it meant and your posting was the only one on the entire web. so, did you ever find out what it means?

All I can think of is some kind of temporary stopping work or something like that. It does sound a bit like a robot break, where they would be turned off for a few minutes!

You're not seeing things. I've just eaten one with "Temporary Shutdown" on it. Must be the factory running some kind of test process and they'd rather sell them than chuck them away. ;-)
