Can't beat a Mars Bar...

jules1000 · 16-10-2013, 19:22

I've just had a Mars bar and would just like to express that it is one choccy bar that has remained the same as it was decades ago....yum yum.

Especially with a cup of tea.

I've had quite a few recently as my local Tesco was selling the 4 packs for under 50p.................

They're far too sickly. Horrible.

Barbra · 16-10-2013, 19:51

I prefer Snickers, and that's despite Joan Collins!

clm2071 · 16-10-2013, 20:54

I've never been a fan of the Mars bar, agree with Moggio - too sickly. Marathon is far superior.

Mars bars are at their best sliced and frozen..... I'm not a sweetie fan, but yup! I'm grateful for a choc bar that hasn't changed over the years.

Mark in Essex · 16-10-2013, 22:34

I wonder some times why they even bother to make other chocolates!

The same goes with Raffaello (Ferrero Raffaello by Ferrero has a half almond in the centre that is surrounded by meringue and milk cream. It’s encased in a spherical crispy wafer that is coated with coconut and coconut flakes.) over the usual Ferrero Rocher.

I remember as a child my dad slicing a frozen mars bar up for me and my brother on a saturday evening as a treat. That was about 30 years ago.

Mars chocolate is way too sweet and cheap tastings, its just sugar and vegetable oil really. Cadbury a bit better but find it much better paying a bit more and getting some lindt etc. Mars Bar is just too sweet and cheap tasting.

fast left · 17-10-2013, 18:45

never liked them,like eating pure sugar !!

noise747 · 17-10-2013, 20:04

Mars bars have not been the same for a few years now, they taste a lot different.

Crunchy I like, but even they seems to taste different. I prefer a bit of Lindt dark these days.

Tiwttmos · 18-10-2013, 10:09

I can't say i've noticed any difference in taste over the years. I prefer Mars chocolate to Cadbury.

jazziee · 18-10-2013, 11:55

I hate mars bars. Too sickly, make my teeth feel like they are rotting and about to drop out.

I have tried mars bar ice cream before, that was ok.

Quackers · 18-10-2013, 12:37

I think they are the most boring of all the chocolate bars available and have not bought one for years.

KMKYWAP · 18-10-2013, 13:32

Snickers > Mars Bar
Lion Bar > Mars Bar

Scotty_c.man · 18-10-2013, 13:55

I love mars bars, I think they are only second to crunchy. The one bad thing is that are very rich in taste, and a whole bar in one go is too much, I much prefer to have a snack sized ones over a longer period then a full one.

cbe21ok · 18-10-2013, 16:20

I used to love Mars Bars when i was a kid, they were the best. I am not really a big chocolate eater these days but i must admit a Crunchie is hard to beat.

Porcupine · 18-10-2013, 16:41

I have never been a Mars Bar lover. I would always go for a Snickers or Bounty.
