Mars Bar

Come on now, you didn't expect a straight review of a Mars Bar from me did you? This review was inspired by LOBSTERQUADRILL and to her it is therefore dedicated! Whilst strictly speaking you are going to feel that this review is either off topic, or posted in the wrong place, i.e should be in the café section, I do hope to offer you enough information to assist in your purchase of not one, but two Mars Bars! Let it never be said that RICHADA fails to give you value for money in his reviews! OK, thanks to LQ up there I am actually writing this review now, but how come I am posing the question ... more

Jeeeeeez Is That All The Size Of It …………… I love a Mars bar and can remember when it used to be so much bigger, thicker and much more tastier, oh and calm down ladies I am still talking about the Mars bar, such filthy minds you have….. Anyway hands up if you remember the Mars bar slogan, ok collect a cuddly toy if you shouted, "A Mars a day, helps you work, rest and play". Oh and also take a slap for actually standing up and shouting that out, jeeeeeeeez what must the neighbours think of you. Personally I kick the work bit into touch and just concentrate on the rest and play bit. Although it's ... more

In recent times the mars bar, the centre of the mars empire, has adopted a new slogan, "Work, Rest and Play", which helps it to link with the English National Football Team. The slogan, in my opinion, could be an attempt to make the public aware that mars bars can be eaten during any time of their life; working, resting or playing. But, is the mars bar itself work, rest or play? Taste- the mars bar has a fairly simple structure, with nougat and caramel covered in chocolate. This means that the bar itself isn't overwhelming. The quality of each of these parts is very high, with the chocolate ... more

“A Mars a day helps you work rest and play”, was the Mars catchphrase I remember when growing up. Now though you would be more likely to see the slogan “Pleasure you can’t measure”, as in 2002, Mars dropped the slogan they had been using for 40 years as a result of market research, and a decline in consumer sales. Either way, Mars bars have always been a favourite of mine, regardless of the "add 2 inches to the waistline every time I glance at a Mars Bar" amount of calories each bar contains! *What is a Mars Bar?* Well for the few of you who don’t know what a Mars Bar is, then this bits for ... more

Didn't you like your Mars bars the way that they have been since the last 70 years. Why one earth have they given them a makeover. The reason to make them more suitable and popular with women. Well at least the new slogan "pleasure you can't measure" might appeal to women but in a different sort of way and surely not the intended one. LOL. This is the new slogan of Mars and replaces one of the most well known slogans ever in "A Mars a day helps you work rest and play". A Mars bar consists of a block of nougat, which is first covered in a thick layer of chewy and gooey caramel and then an even ... more
