TO GO: Unwanted Mars Bar

[EdwardHimself]

[quote name='paulmcnamara' post='1346642' date='Aug 20 2011, 07:34 PM']I've heard they get to sound quite brittle with age. Has anyone else experienced that?[/quote]

Apparently with some the toffee goes a bit stale and has to be re-filled by a culinary technician.

[Monckyman]

Apparently you can diy it with the right tools etc, but I`d just send it to the Choc Doc.
You don`t want to take the risk. I f***ed up a pretty good Texan Bar that way.

Is it in the standard factory finish, or an exotic top? Can't stand those coffee table Mars bars.

[pickle]

I heard there is a limited edition triple chocolate version of this now. Probably wont be as good as the pre starburst days.

[Clarky72]

I was hoping someone out there had a Texan bar they'd offer up, been looking for another one of them since 1979....

[rushbo]

Can anyone help me out with a good condition Aztec Bar? Someone was selling one on Ebay, but it turned out to be just a Mars which had been reliced with some nougat. Just not the same.

Just saw this on eBay:

The logo doesn't look quite right to me. Can anyone tell me if this is a fake? Thanks.

They changed the logo in about 2006 to this new one.

I can't quite read the 'Best eaten before...' date, so I'll pass on this. Still got my eyes peeled for a '60's Jubbly, though...

Well, there are these:

I think they're replicas though, and they're out of stock anyway, so you may have to keep looking.

[Dad3353]

Nah; they're reissues (reduced sugar..!). Thanks anyway.
I'd like to find some without any hassles, if possible (kind of 'fretless..?).

Arf, arf.

[OliverBlackman]

is this mars bar now classified as vintage? i hope its got that 'road worn' look

[charic]

Here's hoping it isn't second hand... might be a little more like a snickers. Nuts an all

[Grangur]

Does anyone have a curly wurly bar from the 1970's?
Damn I miss them

[Greggo]

Does it have a good B-string?

[icastle]

Is a Crunchie best for metal?

[Dad3353]

URGENT; SORRY FOR THE HIJACK? BUT ANYONE GOT A SPARE CAPSLOCK? PLEASE? NO TRADES? I CAN PICK UP FROM ANYWHERE IN LOWER NORMANDY BEFORE MONTH4S END; THANKS IN ADVANCE; NO PM4S PLEASE.

Now if it had been a genuine Texan bar in mint condition.....
[/quote] is that a US made one or one of the later MIM ones?

[JamieBenzies]

It was actually really tasty, I don't normally enjoy mars to that a great extent, but even now I remember returning home to find a mysterious package and opening it to reveal the aforementioned mars. It was good. I relaxed and had it with tea.

I miss Topics........when they were good
