Brabeck made an agreement with Britain's Cadbury Schweppes under which it would return Kit Kat and another brand, Rolo, to Nestle if Cadbury made the winning bid for Hershey. In the end, the Hershey Trust dropped its sale plans, but Nestle has not given up hope. Brabeck says he's "willing to go a long way" to get the brands back "because they belong to our family...
