Shocking Discovery Inside Mars Bar Nets British Man Unexpected Compensation—What Was Inside?
- Replies 0
When Harry Seager, a 34-year-old British man, eagerly unwrapped a Mars bar he had purchased from a petrol station in Thame, he was met with a peculiar sight that would soon stir up quite the conversation. This unexpected anomaly in his confectionery treat led to a surprising outcome—a small token of compensation from the candy's manufacturer.
A Smooth Surprise That Stunned Social Media
Instead of the familiar rippled chocolate surface that Mars bar aficionados have come to expect, Seager found himself staring at a completely smooth chocolate bar.
Seager's discovery was so unusual that he felt compelled to share it with the world, or at least in social media. His post showcasing the smooth Mars bar quickly attracted attention, with comments ranging from bemusement to outright dismay. One person called the bar 'unsettling,' while another went as far as to label it 'hideous.'
A £2 Voucher: Sweet or Sour?
Curious about the reason behind this aberration, Seager reached out to Mars Wrigley, the company responsible for the iconic chocolate bar, to inquire about the lack of the signature ripple. In response, he was offered £2 (approximately $3.90) in the form of a voucher—a modest compensation that Seager graciously accepted.
'I think £2 is great, it will be two free Mars bars. Maybe they could have sent me more but I'm not being ungrateful,' he told the BBC. 'I think it's amazing after everything that's happened that I got the £2 voucher.'
Behind the Scenes of the Smooth Incident
The spokesperson for Mars Wrigley addressed the incident with the BBC, explaining that the smooth Mars bar had inadvertently bypassed the usual quality checks on the production line and missed receiving its characteristic swirl.
'With over 2.5 million Mars Bars produced daily at our Slough factory, it seems this has slipped through without its signature flourish,' they said. The company reassured chocolate lovers that the smooth Mars Bars were a rarity and that the classic swirl was here to stay.
A Taste of Nostalgia and a Nod to Quality
The Mars bar, a staple in the world of chocolate treats, has a rich history dating back to its inception when it was first crafted by hand in Slough, Berkshire. To this day, the town remains the birthplace of the Mars bar, with millions being produced there every day. The incident with Seager's Mars bar serves as a reminder that even in the most automated and precise manufacturing processes, there's still room for human error—or in this case, a machine's oversight.
