A new contest involving Nestlé candy bars makes the concept of a highly monitored police state fun and exciting…for idiots. The ominously titled “We Will Find You” contest places a tracking chip inside the “winning” candy bar, allowing the Nestlé HQ to track winners via satellite and to dispatch a team to give them their prize. The TV ad states:
“The bar will be equipped with a GPS signaling device. When activated, it will beam a signal into space via satellite and will return to earth. This will alert a secret control room who will scramble a crack team of highly trained individuals. They will board a helicopter, find the special bar and give the winner 10,000£.”
Here’s the ad.
So, to sum up, winners of the contest are tracked and found by a swap team who “arrest” them as if they were terrorists or enemies of the state. However, instead of beating the crap out of them and sending them to undisclosed jails, they give them 10,000£. You see how a police state is fun? Friendly agents jump out of helicopter and give you money! It’s perfect!…until they’ll use the same techniques to beat the crap out of dissidents and send them to undisclosed jails.

So this is how they advertise chocolate now? Well, whatever works I guess.
maybe it is for skynet. Robots will find, boycott Nestle, illumiCoorp
I fully agree with the general consensus here that this promotion leaves a lot to be desired. I think I'll skip this contest, Nestle, thank you very much!
Searching around for the exact manner in which winners will be tracked down, I found this explanation:
"The ‘We Will Find You’ competition will see GPS chips placed in six chocolate bar wrappers. The GPS Golden Ticket is not activated when the candy bar is opened. The winner has to turn it on. The tracker Nestle is using is “essentially mobile phone technology specifically developed for this project,” says a spokesperson. “When a winning bar is found, consumers simply pull on the tab to activate the device.” Within 24 hours the winner will be located by a helicopter, which has a team on board to hand-deliver a briefcase containing £10,000 in cash.”
omg when i heard that they had those microchip bars i thought they where joking :/ that is just weird!
Saw the ad for this the other day and I knew VC would have something to say about it. It's the last time I buy a bar of Nestlé, that's for sure.
I like chocolate and I like money.. where can I get this?..
when will that candy reach africa? i can't wait!!!!!
this is just sickening
well i have just eaten a Yorkie and now i may or may not have a chip in me that is a GPS tracker. Dam who will it be removed. ? or will i just pass it the next time i,am on the lavatory. If so tracking it down the pan will make it a bit difficult to find in all that brown stuff. LOL
heh. irony.
if the winner was offered a free cancer treatment, or a ticket to 'the island' it'd raise a lot more red flags and people would get it… but if we were already living in those times people would be denying the island existed and cancer was the normal cause of death anyway.
the bar is always raised, the frog is always in hotter water, the limits are always being pushed.. and everyone will always think this is just the way things are..
..so yeah.. no problem at all with this one.. where the system goons track someone and drop out of the sky and throw money at them.. this all seems perfectly normal to me
and because the world *is* the way it is, everyone is going to think this *is* perfectly normal.
what's the next zany nwo promotion? -watch for UFO's with robbie williams on his private island?
I seen this on TV the other day & knew instantly that it would be on here at some stage…
Am i the only one thinking this…who on this planet keeps their KitKat wrappers? How is this possibly guunna work?
Does anyone remember that lady who went through mind control and painted all those paintings? She kept saying don't take the candy. They probably have ways of putting any type of tracking or drug into any candy or anything for that matter. They tried to do use the tracking devices at old navy and people had no idea. Tracking is in our phones, some credit cards, cars and probably in my computer.
I don't want anything to do with that contest.
Have you all seen this? http://www.mochip.org/ "MO" stands for Missouri as well as Masonic Order. They call it the "Masonichip."
Lol u know the chocolates only contain a code for you to type in to a computer or mobile device ther is no GPS device lol
I sincerely doubt that food regulations would permit placing a microchip or any foreign substance in a candy bar, even in "specially marked packs" or whatever.
But yes, the ad looks geared to make people wish they were the guy being targeted by the SWAT team. Ghastly in all respects.
dude, f**k this world seriously
This is madness!
What if a kid wins?
Behavioral conditioning to totalitarian creepiness aside, I am amazed they could cram this into a package that weighs the same as a candy bar.
My first though was GeoPro http://www.geoprosolutions.com/solution/
It might be cellular based relay signal, and probably a very small and limited battery regardless. Could check to see if Nestle marketing pukes bought GeoPro subscription services.
System is going to collapse, so might as well think of ways to repurpose the creepy sociopath tech for practical and marketable ventures. Can't wait to see what folks can do with the creepy AI flying the drones and scanning all the databases http://www.imagination-engines.com/
Pizza delivery by quadcopter drones?
Autonomous cars and information tailored to your productive means? Plenty of good to potentially come out of this phase of horrid government indulgence, for those that survive it.
OPPA GANGNAM STYLE!
Basically they are saying two things: how bad do you want the candy and how desperate are you for the money? This is just a prime example of them using our survival instincts against us and getting us to accept their control- and they get away with it because most of us can't control ourselves and say no to what they are dangling in front of us- and then when we can no longer resist they will force us to bow and beg and become their dogs!
To all whos comments (in response to this & ALL the other articles) are Auto-Respone is FEAR. Look, I realize it's Hard to overcome such a Powerful human emotion, but Try! Fear is exactly one of the top reactions "they" precisely Want!! I see SO much either Auto: Fear and/or Hate. Hate being the; Conflict/arguing/namecalling/bashing/ect among "truthers." Who needs a NWO to make us all fight one another, when we do a Much better job??
Again, I know strong human emotions, that we All have, such as hate and fear are HARD to conquer; but there are Much stronger and Powerful ones you don't have to conquer, such as HOPE.
My opinions. Peace and Love.

nice read, whenever i read a post from your site, i come out a tid-bit wiser each time
I was reading this and I was literally saying "NO" out loud the whole time. Let me repeat. NO.
Isn't the RED phone already an alert for danger?
So now they wanna change red to a good thing…
I see…
willy wonker must be freaking pissed right about now
Willy Wonka for the New World Order.
That's what I was thinking! Heh heh heh…
I agree with a lot on this site, but I have to say that there might be some overreacting going on to this commercial. The commercial doesn't indicate that the chip is IN the candy bar and that the guy eats the chip itself. Plus, this is a British commercial, and it's no secret that things are very big brother there. I get vigilant's point about desensitization and a police state future, but isn't it also possible that the marketers are trying to be as extreme as possible to get attention to sell more candy bars? Just my two cents. Not saying anyone is wrong, but it's worth entertaining the possibility that there might not be anything sinister here.
I'm guessing the chip is within the food since they're going to need to trace the winner. Otherwise one could open up the candy bar, toss the wrapper and eat the candy; and no one would be the wiser about who would win.
And I agree that it's a bit extreme. However, I remember coming up with an extreme test where some "so obviously extreme that no one would give that answer even joking" answers for extreme right-wingness. Problem is, now they're accepted amongst some groups and tolerated amongst the rest.
Ok. Seriously??? Can't I just win the money? Even if u were blind to all this u don't ask yourself THAT??? Sometimes we (the masses) can also be a bit too easy – how can people get excited by such nonsensical theatrics?
What happened to the good old buy 1 get one free?..
Very smart!
One way to test something like this is to make it seem fun and people will happily play along!
Yep, just like Facebook started…so fun to reunite with old friends…so fun to create a network…so fun to have all your info in one place…so fun to track you!!
Yeah, I totally agree- you can't even fully delete your account! Its always there. Plus I have always had my account on private, and someone who I wasn't friends with could see where I worked at the time.. WTF? I was horrified. I HATE FACEBOOK!!!
And this police state bs is really starting to get annoying. It will be terrifying, I have no idea why people don't get this.
Looks like they have chip technology in an experimental phase, so they funneled some $$$ to Nestlé to test it out. This contest is their experiment.
Evidently the stuff will send its signal either when it's bit into or when stomach acid hits it. Since food tends to stay in the stomach for twenty-four hours, it will give them some time to figure out where the sad sap who's supposed to get the 10,000£ is at. This commercial is intended to desensitize the person to a sudden shock of crack troops around him.
So now it's a good thing. A couple years after the contest ends, I'm sure it will turn into a more frightening scene.
Don' t brush your teeth with fluoride-containing toothpaste.
Cabiri (1914)
A black and white movie made in 1914, depicting accurately the worship of moloch,milkom.
Accurate depiction of religious sacrifice of children.
Please watch this video from 25 minutes to 28 minutes…

Now instead of thinking about it as evil and bad….
This was considered normal and holy just a few centuries ago….
We don't care what was considered normal and holy a few centuries ago. Hence, if you ever have kids feel free to sacrifice them, however let the others make different decisions about their own.
It was an answer to Fidelio. Fidelio, isn't a code used in the film eyes wide shut?
That is freaky.
I actually respect this person's point of view, kudos bro your eyes are more open then all of us. rush life with an open mind.
that is not the truth. that is a corruption and you are buying into it.
@ Rebecca
It is the damn truth.

Smooch!
It's the truth and you can't handle it!.
i think im goin to live in a teepee on a indian reservation. this world has come to this, unreal unreal
after human trafickking in the government itself.. r**e and killings at satanic rituals and private parties.. priests having sex with kids… experimenting with mind control in rehabs for kids..ghosts and goblins haunting kids in the olympic games were fun… now we have to be afraid of chocolate too. I need to get my kid out of here. how do we protect our kids today how. how many missing children in america? no one is really missing from the government. now they will track us and there is no safe place. who will get the lucky chocolate bar, i hope not my baby. dear god what has this world come to.
I suggest you think again having done research into those holding camps called reservations. See some of Kevin Annett's material on the Mohawk residential schools scandal.

I actually live on a native reservation(for almost five years now) and there use to be a residential school here but it was torn down years ago. The community is really small [Between 800-900 population] and no cell phone service. There is much smaller communities here as well.
But if it will make disneysucks feel safer, he can get some lumber, hop on a boat and build a cabin down river on one of many islands like many other natives here.
Yea mitz, they have melted GPS circuitry into chocolate… What a worthless comment
I thought the same about the Stride gum commercials. :s

Nestle is obviously a horrible company.
I have a coupon for a free kit-kat…actually I have two…anyone wants them LOL i dont..
….and win a free shovel and a tour of a FEMA camp!!!
Coming Soon s**t . I rather die .
here's another creepy advert:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=504GYKZlGqg
it does not make much sense, and why it should be funny about it, and how can they think poeple would become more incline to buy their product?
it looks really just a pretext to expose people more and more to abnormal and unhuman situations
wow…just….wow
The question is: why Nestle would have the trouble of making "cool" of a repressive police state commercial ???
so it's cool to be tracked? good lord. could they be any MORE obvious.
also, check out this H&M commercial:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hZ40M9ViYmY
it's like they're coming out from behind the curtain with their blatant pride.
and there's more proof in the book "Secret Societies & Psychological Warfare."
I noticed that H&m commercial too. super creepy. even the way the song is mixed, it's kind of hypnotizing. reminds me of twin peaks tv show in the red room with the black and white chevron floor. just evil feeling and very obvious.
They should pay us to eat their chemical cocktail chocolate anyway.
What a joke! and the funny thing is (well not so funny) the masses will buy into it! It's just getting people used to the idea of micro-chips inside us, which I will certainly not buy into.

If it is possible for a "game", you just don't imagine what they're able to do for real
