Whatever Happened to the Mars Bar?

I remember back in the day, I used to eat Mars bars all the time. Now, I can't find them anywhere; so I emailed M&M Mars, asking the whereabouts of this favorite confection. For your reading pleasure, I've included the text of their reply.


In response to your email regarding SNICKERS ALMOND BAR

The MARS ALMOND BAR is no longer being marketed. Instead we have taken
the MARS ALMOND BAR and enhanced the formula to create a better tasting
chocolate and almond bar. The new bar is being remarketed as SNICKERS
ALMOND BAR.

SNICKERS ALMOND BAR is now available in stores. We hope you will give it
a try.

Have a great day!

So there you have it, whether you care or not. The Mars bar we knew and (apparently, not enough of us) loved is gone. I'm debating whether I should incite a massive revolt to bring it back...

Hmmm. I liked Mars. Oh well. Easy come, easy go.

I guess this means that we're old enough now to see a popular food-something taken off the market. We can tell all the young whippersnappers when we're old and can't move.
