“Dear Mars, I was unable to enjoy my recently purchased Mars Bar as it was missing the trademark thick veins running down its shaft.”
"Dear BBC, thanks for the illustrated article on our product. Our advertising and PR manager says it's the best £2 we've spent all year'
Are you thanking the Big Black...Candybar or the British Broadcasting Corporation?
👍🏼
👍🏿
Yes
How is a Mars bar a fuckin quid now?!?
How is a Mars bar a fuckin quid now?!?
You think that's nuts.
It's 9 quid for two ass creams with the chewing gums innit.
£9 for two ass creamings, chewing gum or no, is a bargain
As an uncultured American, I honestly don't know how else to read that comment.
The thing that's breaking my brain right now is the price of spam
I recently had a broken fridge and had to live off non-refrigerated items for a while. It's more expensive to eat tinned meats (corned beef, spam etc.) than it is to eat fresh/frozen meats. That broke me a bit.
It doesn't just come in the can naturally like a nut bro...
Someone has to put it in that can, that costs money
The less people buying it, the more expensive it is, because the fixed costs are spread out among less consumers.
Fun fact: the Mars bar is marketed as a Milky Way in the U.S. There was a Mars bar in the U.S., but it had almonds. It has since been rebranded as Snickers Almond.
So what's a milky way advertised as?
I’m not from the US, but I think it’s 3 Musketeers:

You can't tell me this isn't the exact way you'd expect this guy to look. He said he's gonna use his 2 quid settlement for more mars bars. I'm comforted.
Great. When did Mars go woke?
Tucker Carlson demands the return of the throbbing dick vein to the demasculated Mars bar.
