On this day, started in 2009, will you be eating your favourite chocolate and what will it be? Yesterday I received a box of After Eights and just couldn't stop eating them 😋

As I've said before on here, if you like your Maltesers, you might be surprised to know that before they are packed, they are polished. Tis true folks. After being coated with chocolate, they are put into a large, felt-lined drum, similar to a tumble dryer, and spun round. This gives them thier polished finish. You learn something every day on here.
And Mars is one of the richest companies in the world. Everything they make is pure profit and subsidised entirely by the Mars Bar. But they don't only make chocolate. Master Foods is a subsidiary of Mars, as is Pedigree Pet Foods. Also Klix vending machines. The list is endless. And even after all that, the Mars Bar itself still makes 1/2p profit. Not a lot, but no losses anywhere. I met Forest Mars back in 1991. A realy nice and respectful man, but ruthless with his decision making.
When he came to our warehouse, he asked if he could have a packet of Skittles. Yep, he asked! Of course he was allowed them, but when he bit one of them, he broke one of his teeth. He was furious, as you can imagine. The outcome of that was, that, to this day, all sugar confectionery produced by Mars is stored in warmed warehouses prior to despatch.
