Replaced a bearing in my old arse LA200 today. So it despite my other issue. I feel that I need a Mars Bar... I just wish they sold them.
Now the silver lining.

Those were my favorite too. They sell them in Canada. You can go to windsor/port huron or mail order them.

Supposidly they were re-introduced in 2010... I could swear I had one not that long ago (but I think i grabbed it cause it was a Mars Dark?)
Look around - you should be able to get them!

Here ya go, for $40 you can buy a case of it:biggrin::biggrin: http://www.candydirect.com/candy-types/candy-bars?brand=1349
But seriously, do a search for decade candy or nostalgic candy you can find a lot of sites that specialize in candies you thought were long gone.

Mars Bars? They've been around forever!

In Canada and Britain ! Like the Kinder Surprize (little chocolate eggs with a toy inside) they don't sell those in the US either.

Hey Jeff I will send you a case for some of your blanks. Lol
I can't believe you don't have Mars. That's about the only chocolate bar (Candy bar must be a US term!) that I like.
What's a childhood without Kinder Suprise either? Terrible chocolate, but the toy was fun!

Candy bar
Well we actually have some candy bars here that aren't mainly chocolate and even a couple with no chocolate in them....not a lot. Although when referring to Hershey Bars they are often referred to as "chocolate bars".
When I was a kid (and when my kids were kids) we got our "prize" in a box of Cracker Jacks - better prizes when I was young.

I had heard that they stopped selling them in the USA because we have the milky way bars which are very similar. I only heard that..can't say if it's why or not or what. I'll pass on trading any blanks for a case of chocolate bars though. They might be my favorite chocolate bar, but I don't eat much of any kind of candy to begin with.
Not the same bar
From what I read the Mars bar is not exactly the same between GB and Canada and was also slightly different in the USA version. It was discontinued in 2002 in the USA and reintroduced in 2010 - never was one of my favorites nor was Milky Way, the bar Mars was originally patterned after. I liked Clark Bars, Zag-Nut bars, Butterfinger, Reese's Peanutbutter cups and Peanut Chews myself.

Of all those you mention at the end, Smitty, I've only ever heard of the Peanut Butter Cups and Butterfinger (gross)...
I've had Milky Way, though - not a fan!

You need more fiber in your diet. :wink:
I'm probably somewhat older than many of you here!
The most delicious chocolate bar that I think of many times was made by Lowneys in the late 40's. It was called a Caravan and was a layer of vanilla cream, & a layer of caramel covered in milk chocolate.
Anyone else here old enough to remember it. I lived in Montreal at the time.

Well they came out with Snickers with Almonds... hence a Mars bar with a different wrapper yet it ain't a mars bar... Different texture.
Alas this must be a tell of aging... I remember when a Hostess Twinky tasted like cake not chemicals as they do today.
