Kit Kats are made of Kit Kats. The manufacturers leave no Kit Kat uneaten, so every reject is mashed into a paste that’s used to fill the wafers. Because every imperfect Kit Kat was already filled with other imperfect Kit Kats, and some of the Kit Kats they’ll fill will also be rejected, every time you eat a Kit Kat, you’re basically eating layers of Kit Kats within Kit Kats within Kit Kats.

Effects of the Crotalus adamanteus venom on mesentery of rabbit (top), and pectoralis of pigeon (bottom).

Many venomous snakes have hemotoxic venom, or a hemotoxic component within their venom. These toxins are able to break down red blood cells, disrupt clotting, and cause hemorrhaging due to the blood being thin enough to slip through capillary and tissue walls. Unlike a neurotoxic venom, which kills by paralyzing the diaphragm and suffocating the victim or prey, hemotoxic venom does not kill quickly. The internal bleeding and hemorrhaging of organs and major vessels is extremely painful.

When snakes kill with hemotoxins, they tend to follow their prey until it collapses, before attempting to eat it. However, the majority of the time, it turns out that the prey isn’t dead yet. It’s simply in shock and unable to continue - it would end up dying soon enough, but if the snake isn’t too far behind it, the prey does get eaten alive.
