The TV commercial most known from this slogan involves a young man biting into one of the Kit Kat bars in a grocery store, and roaring like a lion so loudly the whole store shakes violently, knocking items from the shelves. Another short-lived US slogan was "That's What You Want", whose television adverts showed people pulling unlikely foodstuffs from their pockets or purses, before rejecting them in favour of a Kit Kat. The "classic" American version of the "Gimme a Break" Kit Kat <a href="/wiki/Jingle" title="Jingle">jingle</a> (in use in the US since 1986) was written by Ken Shuldman (copy) and <a href="/wiki/Michael_A._Levine" title="Michael A.

Kellaris as one of the top ten "<a href="/wiki/Earworm" title="Earworm">earworms</a>" – bits of melody that become stuck in your head.

Variations on the Andrew W.K. advertisement included executive dance routines in corporate offices and a network newsroom. However, the "classic" song has also been used again since the newer version first aired in 2004. </p><p>Many adverts were worldwide hits among them in the 1980s with <a href="/wiki/Ken_Campbell" title="Ken Campbell">Ken Campbell</a> in an advert with <a href="/wiki/Heaven" title="Heaven">Heaven</a> and <a href="/wiki/Hell" title="Hell">Hell</a> with <a href="/wiki/Devil" title="Devil">Devil</a> and <a href="/wiki/Angel" title="Angel">Angel</a> on Television.
