Man Turns Internet-Shaming Moment Into Sweet Proposal

When you post a picture online, it becomes free for anyone to comment or remark on. And that’s exactly what happened recently to Evan Wilt when he went to enjoy a candy bar.

Haley Byrd, Evan’s girlfriend, handed him a Kit-Kat bar and Evan took a bite out of the entire thing. Most people break off a piece and eat them one by one, but Evan had never had a Kit-Kat before so he just went for it. Haley had never seen anyone do this, so she immediately took a picture and posted it to Twitter. That’s when people from all over started to comment on Evan’s huge ‘mistake.’

The post went viral and Evan was Internet-shamed. Some people even called for Haley to break up with Evan over the incident. Thankfully, Haley stuck with him and this candy bar faux pas turned into the sweetest moment.

After Evan became famous for his Kit-Kat bar incident, Hershey reached out to him and offered to help if Evan ever decided to propose to Haley. The candy bar company had no idea that Evan had actually been planning a proposal for a while.

Hershey created a personalized ring box in the shape of a Kit-Kat for Evan to use during the special moment. With her whole family watching, Evan pulled out the 3D Kit-Kat bar and handed her the ring. They even celebrated with a candy-themed party after Haley enthusiastically said yes. I’m so glad that Evan turned this moment into something positive. How sweet of a story is this?
