Kit Kat

Voiceover:  Cross your fingers for no penalties.  Please - no penalties.

Cross your fingers for no broken metatarsals.

Cross your fingers that there are no tears, this time.

Cross your fingers, there's no silly bookings.  That he does have a good touch for a big man, that the little man doesn't see red, and for the keeper to guess right, or left.

Cross your fingers we'll be the ones celebrating.

Cross your fingers we're in the right place, at the right time.

Cross your fingers for England to hold their nerve, and with a bit of luck, we can do it.

Cross your fingers with Kit Kat.

 

!Note - Kit Kat is a chocolate snack consisting of fingers made with three layers of crème-filled wafer, covered in an outer layer of chocolate. Each finger can be snapped from the bar one at a time.  It was created by Rowntree's of York, England, and now produced worldwide by Nestlé, which acquired Rowntree in 1988.  In the United States it is made under licence by The Hershey Company.

In the advert, the act of crossing your fingers is used to wish for good luck.
