The Mighty Mars Bar

Advantages: Classic chocolate bar
Disadvantages: They changed the nougat filling

...This is perhaps the most classic chocolate bar from my childhood. It has long been my favourite as a kid and I sort of have to say it still is so as not to feel as if I have disowned it (sorry Mars Bar but I have found other favourites - I still love you though!). 'A Mars a day helps you work rest and play' - this was the little catchphrase that was associated with Mars Bar. Funny really; it's like saying a chocolate bar a day is good for you. The slogan has now changed to 'Pleasure you can't measure' which definitely seems more appropriate. A standard Mars bar comes at 58g, about 11cm long and 1.8cm high. You'll pay about 32p for this bar in supermarkets which is well below the norm of 50p. They used to be more expensive but in recent years, the classic nougat and caramel filling has obviously lost its appeal as new and more...

Review of Mars Bar

Mars in a bottle?

Advantages: Energy, Easy to drink, Smooth
Disadvantages: Weak Taste, high price

...I bought a bottle of yet another energy drink today, this time a bottle of Mars Refuel, I had intended to drink this during the afternoon yesterday but felt a bit of heart burn and an icky stomach for the vast part of the afternoon-cum-evening, when it comes to a bad stomach something I stay away from is a milky drink such as this so I've kept it. Now with Murray playing Gulbis in the US Open and unable to sleep anyway it seems the perfect chance to review this and cheer on the world number 2 and probably the greatest Scottish tennis player of all time. The huge confectionery company Mars, arguably the chocolate version of Coca-Cola, have gone into the drinks industry with this energy drink. Now when talking about energy drinks we usually refer to Isotonic drinks (Powerade, Gatorade and Lucuzade Sport) which replenish the body via...

Review of Mars Refuel

Who's on Mars?

Advantages: Abbott and Costello when on form (rarely in this film)
Disadvantages: Abbott and Costello when not so great

...than 25 films. Orville (Lou Costello) is an orphan who still lives in the Hideaway Orphanage even though he is 38 years old. He loves flying and spaceships but knows absolutely nothing about either of them. Lester (Bud Abbott) is a delivery driver who works at a nearby NASA type place where a new spaceship has been designed and ready to fly to Mars. When Orville accidentally smashes a window he ends up being chased by a couple of Policemen and he hides inside Lester?s van. Because of this Lester inadvertently brings Lester onto the site of his workplace. Due to the top secret nature of the spaceship Orville isn?t allowed to leave until the test flight is completed. To keep him busy and out of trouble he is asked to aid Lester in loading the ship with supplies but letting him anywhere near something as important as a spaceship is...

Review of Abbott and Costello Go to Mars

The pleasure of Mars!

Advantages: A taste of heaven!
Disadvantages: Calorie laden devil!

...?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 you?A Mars Bar is a Milk Chocolate bar with a soft nougat and caramel centre. The bar contains 33% soft nougat and 27% caramel. Please note however that a Mars Bar does contain traces of peanuts, and is made with egg whites. *And...

Review of Mar Ola Apartments, Tenerife

Mars is breeding

Advantages: Thick shell; nice litle treat; lovely flavours and textures
Disadvantages: Doesn't actually taste like the original; expensive

...Being a true Mars Bars fan, it seems only right to review all the products in the range. Having, with pleasured, sampled the Mars Bar Icecream, it's now time to move onto the EGG! Mars Bar egg is a sort of spin off from the Cadbury Creme egg. It's ever so slightly smaller than a cream egg and it packaged in the familar black tin foil which wraps inself around the egg with the red text 'Mars egg' and little gold lines swired around. When you peel off the tin foil, rather than the little star engraved in the centre of the egg shell as on a Cadbury creme, the pattern is simply a round swirl. These are only available at easter and are usually sold seperatley for about 49p but some can be purchased in the 'Mars mini eggs' selection which contains mini mars, milkyway, galaxy and truffle eggs. Anyway, like most of the spin off variations...

Review of Mars Egg

mars

Advantages: yummy
Disadvantages: none

...The mars bar is a chocolate bar that has been around for ages! When I looked into it to see how long it had been around wikipedia states that the mars bar was first made in the UK in 1932 in Slough! The mars bar is made up of Malt nougat, topped with caramel and coated in milk chocolate. Aswell as the standard mars bar they also do mars drinks and easter eggs. Little mars bars also come in the celebrations tins of chocolates. They vary in price depending what size you get and where you get it from, but I think mars bars no matter what size are good value for money. Mars bars last for a while, its the sort of thing you can have in your fridge or cupbard and it doesnt go off quickly - to be honest mine doesnt stay in the fridge very long!! Taken from Wikipedia: Various sizes are made: miniature bars called "FUN SIZE" (19.7 gram...

Review of Mars Bar

Yummy Mars Ice Cream

Advantages: Taste great, good value for money.
Disadvantages: None

...PACKAGING "The things that caught my eye about the packaging where" The peel back lid in the centre which is similar to that of McCain microwave chips and the lid can be resealed.The inviting picture of a Mars bar which looks sort of like it has been cut in half and only half of it is being shown, "revealing all the ingredients inside" including the ice cream and the delicious caramel centre. On the cover it tells you that in the box there are four individually wrapped bars. The part written on top of the picture of the mars ice cream says that its made of "Real Dairy Ice Cream". I also noticed how well designed the box is and that the lid is "very easy" to open. The recognizable mars design that anyone who has ever tried their products will be well acquainted with.The message which says " Real dairy ice cream " and deliciously soft...

Review of Mars Ice-Cream

Mars Bar

Advantages: Superb taste
Disadvantages: Can be sticky

...Introduction: All my life the humble Mars Bar is something I have enjoyed and looked forward to. When I was a kid, my father worked for Mars Confectionary and every week he brought a bag of 'rations' for the family. I always tried to be first to meet him so I could help myself to a Mars Bar. About the Mars Bar: The Mars Bar was originally made in Slough in England. It was first produced in 1932 and not even the War could stop the production of them. The company had gone from strength to strength to feed the public's addition to chocolate. Among their other products are Twix, Maltesers, Snickers, Starburst, Skittles, M&M's and Galaxy. The Mars Bar: I'm not sure if it's me, but I feel the Mars Bar as grown and shrunk over the years. But for me the thing that has remained constant is the distinctive style of the product. As...

Mars Undelightful

Advantages: It's Chocolate
Disadvantages: Tastes Like Cardboard

...~~~~ Mars Delight (Gift Box Full Of Little Ones) ~~~~ TRACES OF HAZELNUT AND ALMOND 240g e Gift Box (Not individual) Made by: Masterfoods. Product: This is not the bar of Mars Delight, but a gift box full of approximately two inch long mini Mars Delights. I was given this box as a present. These people really didn't like me much or know about my love of chocolate (nice chocolate!). Packaging: The box is roughly three inches by three inches and is cream in colour with a red ribbon and red Christmas trees printed on the box. On the printed on gift tag on top of the box it says 'Mars Delight'. Inside each roughly two inch bar is wrapped in a cream and brown wrapper with Mars written in red and Delight in white. There is also a yummy picture of the contents. No, I can't eat another one...
