Man who bought ultra-rare smooth Mars bar awarded £2 compensation

A man has received £2 in compensation after discovering a rare Mars The bar is missing its characteristic waviness, although the manufacturer has reportedly refused to explain the defect.

Members of the Dull Men’s Club Facebook page, which has 1.4 million followers, have debated the possible reasons behind the unusual chocolate bar unwrapped by Harry Seager, 34, who bought it at a gas station of the highway.

The content management specialist said the defect didn’t particularly bother him, but he was curious to understand how it happened.

But after contacting Mars Wrigley UK, he was none the wiser, although he did receive vouchers worth enough to buy two more (hopefully pristine) bars. A happy ending, although not entirely satisfactory.

“The only reason I emailed (Mars) was because I was interested in what might have caused it to happen. “That’s all I wanted to know and they kept brushing that question aside.” he told the BBC.

“I think £2 is great, it’ll be two free Mars bars. Maybe they could have sent me more but I’m not ungrateful. “I think it’s amazing that after everything he’s been through he received the £2 voucher.”

Mr. Seager said he was on his way to a classic car event in Birmingham from his home in Aylesbury, Buckinghamshirewhen the rare discovery occurred.

“Some people who used to work at the Mars factories commented (on Facebook) and said it goes through a machine called an enrober, which is like the waterfall that the bars go through,” Seager added.

“Apparently they are blown along the top as it comes out of that waterfall. Apparently there must be someone at the end to remove the ones that haven’t been hit by the air.

“I don’t know what will happen to them then. I guess they were used in products that contain Mars bars, like cakes and things like that.”

The Standard has contacted Mars Wigley’s press office for comment.
