There was quite the commotion in the chocolate world when a Mars bar without its signature swirl made its way onto the production line. Chocolate enthusiasts were in a frenzy, fearing that their beloved treat had undergone a drastic redesign. The evidence was clear - a ripple-less Mars bar, captured in all its "hideous" glory by Harry Seager, quickly gained popularity on social media. Thousands of likes, comments, and shares flooded in as people were shocked by the sight of this swirl-less bar.
But fear not, dear Mars bar lovers, for the company has reassured us that the iconic swirl is here to stay. Mars Wrigley UK confirmed that it was just a fluke, and they have even compensated Mr. Seager with a £2 voucher for the trauma he experienced while purchasing the bar in Birmingham on his way to a classic car show. "I think £2 is great," Mr. Seager, who hails from Aylesbury in Buckinghamshire, said. "It will be two free Mars bars, after all." Despite some disappointment that he didn't receive more compensation, he expressed his gratitude and appreciation for the gesture.
When asked about the incident, Mr. Seager revealed that he had only reached out to Mars out of curiosity, wanting to know what could have caused such a mishap. However, he felt that his question was being dodged by the company. A spokesperson for Mars Wrigley UK explained that with over 2.5 million Mars bars produced daily, it was possible that one could slip through without its signature swirl. They assured fans that these smooth Mars bars were a rare find and that the classic swirl would not be disappearing anytime soon.
While Mars is keeping their production secrets under wraps, some insiders have shared a few details about the process. It seems that the bars are blown with air after being coated, creating the ripple on top. However, Mr. Seager's sources suggest that this particular bar may have missed out on this step, resulting in its unusual appearance. It's possible that these bars were then used in other products that contain Mars bars, such as cakes and desserts.
In the end, it seems that this swirl-less Mars bar was just a happy accident, and we can all continue to enjoy our favorite treat with its iconic swirl intact. As for the fate of the bar in question, Mr. Seager can only speculate. "I suppose they got put into products that have Mars bars in, like cakes and things," he told the BBC. So, who knows, maybe someone out there enjoyed a slice of cake with a hidden swirl-less Mars bar inside.
