This is actually what the K in K bar stands for... and we're not ok with it

Ok so are you ready for some life changing news? 

Someone from thespinoff.co.nz decided to do some research as to what the 'K' in K Bar actually stands for and the results are extremely disappointing.

The K in K Bar stands for… Kwench.

Yep. Your world will never be the same again, right? 

Hayden from the Spinoff wanted to know what the K in K Bar even meant and after hitting up all of Whittaker's social media accounts he ended up with a tweet from Seven Sharp reporter Kristin Hall, who claimed the “K” stood for “kwench”.

No. This is not okay. This can't be true. But the evidence stacked up.

A blog written by what seemed to be an elderly person spoke of a youth spent subsisting on “Kwench Bars”, “boots” and “shoes”.

A tweet to Whittaker’s from 2011 contained only the word “kwench”.

And then came the response from the brand themselves.

They were asked: “Do you have any info on why it was named Kwench?”

And what did Whittaker’s go and bloody say? 

OK WHAT. WHY WOULD YOU SPELL THE WORD QUENCH WITH A K!? WHAT ARE YOU DOING!?

And then comes the 'I thought quench was used to describe thirst' part of it. The dictionary definition of quench is:

1. to drink liquid so that you stop being thirsty:

2. to use water to put out a fire

Kwenching is an activity exclusively reserved for liquid.

K Bars are literally the opposite of liquid. They are break-your-teeth hard. What is going on with this? We can't handle it.
