   > “I don’t know what happens to them then. I suppose they got put into products that have Mars bars in, like cakes and things.”

   There are cakes (and “things”) that have smooth Mars bars in?

2. I too would require compensation if I could not enjoy the textured, cock like veins on my mars bar.

3. I’m not convinced he didn’t just suck on it for a while.

4. I once got an empty Rafaello, am I sitting on a gold mine?

5. He should’ve sellotaped it to a wall and sold it for millions

6. This probably happens all the time and nobody even mentions it. I mean would I even care if I had a smooth mars bar.. be like ‘oh it’s smooth, weird’ eat it.

7. The Lidl lookylikeyTitan bars are better and cheaper too.

8. I had one of those creme egg twisted chocolates out of Heroes the other day. Contained no creme egg just plain boring chocolate

9. Once I had a bag of jelly babies and it had no black ones in there.

   I tweeted the manufacturer with the Hashtag #confectionaryapartheid

   They sent me a £2 voucher

10. Who will pay for all the therapy he has to go through now?

11. Back In’t day, me father bought kit kat wi’ no biscuit. Tha sent ‘im a cheque fer £1.50.

12. >“I don’t like the strawberry and orange cremes in a box of Roses or a box of Quality Street but I do like the coffee ones. I remember they took the coffee ones out a very long time ago but as a kid I remember them,” he added.

    There is something hilarious about multiple people at the BBC deciding that this should go in an actual news article

13. I work for Mars. This bar has escaped the ‘decorator’ which puts the pattern on the bar while the chocolate is still wet.

    It happens sometimes, usually they are filtered out at the quality control stage, and melted down to make new Mars bars.

14. I’ve had similar things happen twice, once with a Kit-Kat with no waffer inside, and the other time was a Mr Kipling lemon slice cake was missing a cake bar. Both times I politely sent a letter, along with the items, and both times I received a £5 gift voucher, I think I have both letters somewhere…..
    I thought this was a fairly common thing to happen.

15. Just today I received £4 of pringles/kelloggs vouchers because I emailed them saying I bought a packet of original pringles that tasted weird. Kind of like rank salt and vinegar.

    For anyone interested, apparently they experimented with reducing the salt level, but “some customers noticed a difference” so they are changing it back (it did taste a bit like that “lo salt” which mixes in potassium chloride with the sodium).

16. Same thing happened to me when I got a whispa gold without any caramel. Absolute outrage.

17. One time I couldn’t work out how to seal the ‘resealable’ packaging on my giant Cadbury’s chocolate buttons.

    I rang the helpline, and they sent me a coupon in the post for a free pack.

    I showed it to the man at the till. He tried to scan it, but it didn’t register.

    Turns out there was a sticker on the pack that you could use to sort of reseal the pack. My thumbnail just wasn’t up to the task.

18. Got a pack of Kit Kats once, half of them had no wafer and was just a solid bar of chocolate. Should’ve got my 2 quid back in hindsight
