“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
👍🏼
👍🏿
It certainly does feel like they are pushing their confectionary product down our throats.
Edit: grammar
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.
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:

American here; you’re spot on. The US/Mexico version of the Milky Way bar has a layer of caramel in addition to the nougat, and 3 Musketeers is essentially the global version of Milky Way. Our bars may be also bigger in size.

The Milky Way and the Mars bar were both created by the same person. And the Milky Way was created about 12 years earlier in Chicago. Forrest Mars went off to start his own Mars candy division in the UK after a fight with his dad.
I had a client that had a Mars heir as a client, and knew they were based in the DMV. I was curious how an American candy company with a candy bar named after the family ended up being created in the UK.
How did they get an office in the department of motor vehicles
They didn’t, they’re just in the Delaware/Maryland/Virginia area.

FYI: Tums is chalk. :)
A mars bar with no dick vein. Welp at leat the bloke got 2 pound(ing)s compensation.
I will laugh my ass off if they do remove it for real tho. Thats when we know cancel culture has gone too far.
Great. When did Mars go woke?
Tucker Carlson demands the return of the throbbing dick vein to the demasculated Mars bar.
Only then will Musk arrive on Mars.
Ironic that BBC reported it.
I used to send a complaint for faulty products to companies in my late teens/early 20’s as I was low on money. Like once I got some energy drink in a bottle made for Pepsi. Same volume, no difference, but a mistake, so got 5€ for it so “won” like 3€ for that. I’d pick out products like that if I saw them in a shop for that very purpose.
Once I genuinely was annoyed though, as a soft drink company that filled the vending machine at our school had filled it wrong and I got what was essentially Fanta he I wanted an energy drink and it was fucking hard waking up that morning.
“Dull Men’s Club” must be code for Mad Lads
He could have asked them for 100 to send the factory code.
