Going to Mars???

I don’t ask for a river of flowing chocolate. But all I can say is Mars bar has been my all-time favourite since I was very young.

I remember those days, living in Bendemeer Road, where there was an old lady who was wheelchair bound, selling tidbits on a push-cart just outside the lift lobby of Blk 31 Bendemeer Road. My eyes would simple linger to the chocolates. I would then grab the huge chocolate in golden foil that resembles a coin (speaking of which, it is rather difficult for me to get my fingers on them lately). It was for 20¢ per piece. I could simply wolf down a stack of 20 pieces.

I was so hook to it until my dad switch my addiction to Mars bar.

Mars bar is so irresistible: a complete chocolate bar was sold in the USA until 2000. It contained plain nougat, caramel and milk chocolate. Goodness gracious me. How can one resist the temptation?

In the UK and some areas of Europe, limited edition Mars Bars have occasionally gone on sale. One of these has been the Mars Midnight, which has the same filling as a normal Mars Bar but is covered in dark chocolate. Several of these limited lines were normally available products in the Australian market. In Canada (Mars Dark) it has been added to the product line on a permanent basis. Some of the Limited Edition Mars Bars have been:-

· Mars Almond;

· Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest Mars Bar;
