Mars Bars - Can You "Believe" It?

[A96]

Mars Bars are now called "Believe" Bars. Every Time you buy one you will be registering your belief that England will do us all proud and win the World Cup.

Respect to our English friends and fellow ICT supporters - but could you really see Mars Plc doing that if Scotland were the only UK country to qualify for the World Cup?

Question: Will you now be buying more or less Mars Bars now that you know the significance of each purchase?

Feckin saddo's... i will now not buy mars bars!!!!

never bought them before mind you.. :003:

[Caley Fish]

I shall now be boycotting Mars or should that be 'Believe' Bars :brave:

[CaleyD]

Mars are already aware the sales in Scotland are plummeting, so after some consultation North of the Border they have given Scotland their own re-branding for the world cup supporting chocolate bar.

Jealousy is a terrible thing :014:

[Andrew Fraser]

We BELIEVE trinidad and tobago will beat england

[Kingsmills]

Looks like I might have to survive for a few weeks without my favourite sugar fix.

Petty I know but I'm crtainly not buying the rebranded bar.

[A96]

Kingsmills, you could always get the Lidl immitation Mars bars instead. Not quite the real thing, I admit, but it's the principle that counts.

I'm sure in Scotland it is to do with us bidding to hold the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow 2010.

[Kingsmills]

Not according to the display unit I saw yesterday.

From the advertising in the Glasgow Edition of The Sun, it seems that it is.

The most famous Mar bar rumour is one that involved Marianne Faithfull and Mick Jagger enjoying a rather special picnic. She denies it

shower of lying barstewards! feckin chancers - they'll come up with any old feckin excuse to pawn us off to buying their delicious English themed chocolate

[KingBeastie]

"BELIEVE???"

Aye feckin right.....

I DON'T BELIEVE IT!!!

[A96]

If in doubt, check their special event web site at http://www.marsbelieve.com. You won't find much there about the 2010 Commonwealth Games.

It's just a lame excuse by Mars Plc I'm afraid. :020:

[Guest Lauraness]

[jj_ict]

i will never eat a maarse bar again in my life. fecking twattage bars!!!

[CaleyJulz]

I am with me sis on this one i am never ever ever ever eating a ma arse bar again.

[true jaggy]

i hate the bias towards england. this would have never have happned if any other country in britain had qualified fo the WC. C'mon the Soca Warriors.

[RiG]

I have to admit I am sure that I have seen a Mars advert with one of their bars in front of a huge Scotland flag saying Believe as well so they aren't just focusing in on England.
