COMMUTERS have been left shocked by bizarre posters accusing food company Nestlé of being involved in child slavery.
The bizarre poster was spotted by commuters yesterday in one of the carriages of a London Overground train.
The attention-grabbing poster is designed in the style of the wrapper of the popular KitKat biscuit, which is produced by Nestlé.
It takes aim at the company for its alleged practices, specifically the use of child labour and not allowing young workers to take breaks.
A picture taken of the impromptu installation shows it placed in one of the advertising spaces on the carriage wall.
The poster features white lettering on a red background in the same font used on the KitKat biscuit wrapper.
The bizarre and accusatory poster reads: “Have a break? Not if you’re a Child Slave.”
The words “Child Slave” are printed on the strange poster in the same style font as the KitKat logo.
The wording on the poster refers to the well-known strapline for the popular treat: “Have a break, have a KitKat.”
The snap of the strange poster was shared to social media yesterday with the caption: “Seen on the Overground.”
It has since received over 1,000 likes and more than 30 comments from social media users keen to share their thoughts.
One commented: “Yeah, Nestlé is notorious for immoral s**ttiness, which is doubly s**t considering they bought out Rowntrees, which was properly for improving the experiences of the poor.”
Another replied: “Nestlé’s business practices outside of cocoa are also terrible, evil and exploitative.”
A third said: “The world constantly works in s**t ways, doesn’t it?”
A fourth wrote: “Technically that’s the case for a slave of any age, the child bit is superfluous.”
Another said: “Was giving blood two days ago and was disappointed to see that the observation table (at which you sit after donating to eat chocolate and biscuits) had a large amount of KitKats.
“I was hoping there were so many because no-one eats them, silly me.”
