Advantages: Its very sweet, a definite caffeine boost

Disadvantages: Too sickly, and too sweet

I have always been something of a chocaholic but recently I have been trying to temper this craving. Due to this I had not eaten a mars bar in quite some time but did so recently. The thing you notice about the mars' is the fact that the size of the bar has been greatly reduced. You could weigh this up as being a positive as far as health is concerned but also it should be added that the price of these has risen quite considerably. Therefore the only way you will get any kind of value for money is for you to buy these in a pack.

The bar is made from nougat, caramel and wrapped in chocolate and does look quite appetising. However whether it's my taste buds which have altered, or not, but the bar no longer has the satisfying taste. The chocolate seems too thick and heavy and the caramel provides it with a sickly taste. It is by no means unpleasant and certainly with the sugar content packed into this bar, it is guaranteed to give you a lift but despite the slogan, a Mars a day is surely too much and even a Mars a week is pushing things.

All in all not a bad chocolate bar but one I would probably now only eat in a bite sized form. Another thing I have noticed about Mars is that my teeth seem to react extremely sensitively to it which I am assuming is another indication of how just how much sugar is packed in this little bar. So my teeth might also thank me for staying away in future also.

Summary: Dissapointed by the taste
