Yes its here. A Mars Bar that is guilt free. Lets take a quick look at this exciting new revelation. We compare the slimmer’s Mars Bar with a standard Mars Bar:
Big deal you might think – one’s got caramel written on it and the other hasn’t – what’s that got to do with anything? Lets take a look inside:
Now it becomes clearer – the Caramel Mars is looking a little ‘flat’ – something is missing. We need to get inside this thing and find the truth:
Revelation time – the nougat is gone! And seeing how the slimline version is about half the size there must be a serious calorie reduction, right? No of course not. The normal Mars has 260 calories. The Caramel thin version has 204 calories.
So what does this scientific analysis tell us? It tells us that a) The best bits of a Mars Bar (ie the chocolate and luscious caramel) are the worst for you and b) generally speaking the more boring something is (eg the chewy nougat in a Mars Bar) the less bad it is for you.
Happiness Stan Lives Here 
not a fan of the mars. I’m not. Too light. No wait, maybe I’m thinking of the 3 Musketeers. Never mind.
I was a bit disappointed as when I first hear about it I thought it was a regular mars bar with extra caramel.
Well i could have just stuck the caramel one on top of the regular one and created a kind of Mars Sandwich. Actually now thats an idea…
The things you do in the name of science… 😀
Nothing is to difficult in the name of culinary investigation – even eating loads of chocolate!
I’m going to guess that the less you get, the more you pay. Sort of like what’s been going on for years with downsizing packaging here in the States. I was watching an interview with an executive from General Mills where they asked him about smaller packaging, yet the price staying the same. His response was that with smaller families, consumers had been “demanding” smaller quantities. He was a little flustered though when he was asked “Did consumers also demand an increase in price?”
That’s great – nothing better than seeing a VIP getting stuck in a hole!
Deep fry both of those suckers and then do a side by side coaprison !!
You probably know they do that the fish and chip shops of Scotland – the worst food item in the world!
It’s no competition to a Cadbury’s Caramel bar. That had the sexiest bunny in the world advertising it !!
Now that was a while back but you’re right the Caramel was way better
My guess is the new “light” version is also more expensive.
Yes anything with ‘Limited Edition’ on it hikes the price!
well hell give me the nougat back then! Might as well hey?
exactly the whole exercise seems like a bit of a waste of time!
Was this just an excuse to eat chocolate?
No it was definitely a scientific experiment
The caramel is the best bit. I bet they cost the same too!
Exactly its a marketing scam!
Holy moly! Can it even be called a Mars Bar without the nougat?
No its a Cadbury’s Caramel to all intents and purposes
Caramel mars bars are amazing. I didn’t realise they were that much smaller than the regular bars tho…
They truely are a revelation!
