A British man was awarded $2.53 in compensation from Mars Wrigley U.K. after he unwrapped a Mars bar -- known as a Milky Way in the United States -- and found it was missing its signature ripple.

Harry Seager, 34, of Aylesbury, Buckinghamshire, posted a photo of his unusually smooth candy bar to the Dull Men's Club group on Facebook, and the post quickly went viral, garnering hundreds of shares and thousands of comments.

"It tasted the same," Seager told The Guardian. "It just was a lot thinner on top that's all -- not quite as thick."

Seager, who bought the Mars bar from an Oxfordshire gas station while en route to a classic car show in Birmingham, reached out to the company the next day.

Seager said he wasn't seeking any compensation, but he was curious about what had caused the Mars bar's smoothness and wanted to inform the company in case there was a production problem that hadn't been caught.

Mars Wrigley U.K. did not offer Seager an explanation, but did award him a £2 voucher -- worth $2.53 in U.S. currency.

"The only reason I emailed [Mars] was because I was interested in what might have caused it to happen. That is all I wanted to know and they kept side-lining that question," Seager told the BBC. "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. I think it's amazing after everything that's happened that I got the £2 voucher."

"L.D."---You mean the American version, "with nougat and toasted almonds covered in milk chocolate; later, caramel was added to the recipe as well"

kronk---YES! Yes! Yes! That's the one! Can you help me?

"L.D."---No. That version was discontinued in 2002.

Date: 12/11/2024 8:02:00 AM  From Authorid: 21435    Hey Larry Still a few places to purchase vintage candy. The other day, I dined at one of those "country" cooking places and when I went to pay the bill, I found
an old favorite; "Valomilk." It wasn't quite the same as "the old days," but close enough to trigger memories.

What a windfall for him after only having to pay a couple of thou in
lawyers fees and then getting his 53 cents after his lawyer took his
share of the settlement.
