Just bought a Mars bar for the first time in ages...WTF?

[Shut Up Legs]

The biggest picture ever (4 bloody Megapixels!) of the smallest Mars Bar ever?

Well, duh! It's one of those magnifying crystal balls . Just like these nostalgia threads aren't what they used to be, crystal balls aren't what they'll become... errr... well, something like that.

Nigellas Chocolate Salami will probably stay the same

There you go, @slowmotion! It looks like white dog poo does still exist .

Anyone remember the old penny chews? They were so big you had to bash them on the edge of the pavement to break them in two to get them in your mouth.

You young ones have been spoilt. Back when sweets came off the ration, and I am old enough to remember that, the Mars bar was the size the latest ones are now. In the intervening years they got bigger and bigger. Now they are back to 1950s size. I'm sure they'd like us to believe that it's for our own good, but I suspect profit motive was the driving force. Sadly I'm no longer able to eat chocolate so will never know if they taste the same. Damn allergies!

"Mars claimed the change was designed to help tackle the obesity crisis in the UK. The company later confirmed that the real reason for the change was triggered by rising costs."

Really? Surely not...

Now if it were Marc Almond... thats a different matter. ... the internet really has killed the joy of an urban myth.

Surely he'd use a bar of Fruit & Nut?

I generally don't eat Mars bars if I can help it because they are just too chocolaty, but, however, after reading about the Mars Bars incident, I wouldn't mind one if it really was....Served..... The way it says!! (Providing it actually WAS a Mars Bar and not something else.....) .
