I find a mars dark and golden ice cream bar mmmmm. I open the wrapping put the chocolate covered ice cream into my mouth and bite. It is cold the chocolate covering comes away from the ice cream in my mouth and tastes just right. It is a dark plain sweet smooth chocolate tasty. Underneath the chocolate layer is a layer of sweet caramel that runs along the bar of ice cream Then the ice cream layer a sweet cold ice cream a golden colour, delightful.

We have a free canteen at work, and last week they were feeling kind for once and gave us ice cream for pudding. We get this quite a bit, but it’s usually more of the skanky-5-year-old-tubs or tiny-little-ice-pops variety. This time was different though. This time we got quality stuff. The freezers were full of bars - Mars, Milky Way, Twix, Bounty, Snickers and Magnums. Not being one to turn down an opportunity like that, I nabbed 3 of them under the pretence of “colleagues up in the office” and the proceeded to scoff the lot. Then, I came back to my desk and started to write this. Imagine the scene. It’s minus 5 million degrees, ...  Read the complete review

"A Mars A Day Helps You Work Rest and Play," now that's a phrase that I am more than happy to remind myself of as I'm stuffing a Mars Bar into my mouth. The new advertising jingle for Mars Bar, "Pleasure You Can't Measure," doesn't quite tempt me so much - whilst I agree with the phrase it doesn't stop me feeling guilty about shoving yet more chocolate down my throat - at least if I tell myself that it's helping me to work, rest and play I can attempt to convince myself that it's doing me good!!! The phrase "A Mars A Day" was invented in 1959 and after many years of successful advertising Mars recently ...  Read the complete review

~ ~ A sweetie that is actually older than the ‘mad cabbie’!!! That’s ‘Mars Bars’, that have been around since they were first introduced to the market way back in 1932, even before the mad cabbie was even a twinkle in his daddy’s eye. They’ve got a new advertising slogan these days that reads, “The pleasure you can’t measure”, along with a lighter centre that makes them a little easier to chew, especially for those of us who are slightly dentally challenged. (I have false teeth!) But they are still distinctively a Mars Bar, although I’m still undecided as to whether or not I prefer the older, ...  Read the complete review

...but I'm on a diet, you see. Which means that most of my waking hours are spent mentally caressing, licking, sucking, savouring and noisily appreciating that great diet taboo, chocolate. And when I dream of chocolate, I always dream of Mars, the gooiest, sweetest, softest, biggest, best chocolate bar of them all. A Mars straight out of the fridge: hard at first and cold on your tongue, then slowly, slowly melting and getting warmer, its contents merging together and oozing out into the furthest reaches of your mouth, a sweet, sticky union of nougat, caramel and chocolate undulating over your gums, sticking to your teeth and sending a shock through your ...  Read the complete review
