Man compensated for smooth Mars bar

2024-12-28
A British man was awarded $2.53 in compensation from MarsWrigley U.K. after he unwrapped a Mars bar, known as a Milky Way in the US, and found it was missing its signature ripple.

Harry Seager, 34, of Buckinghamshire, posted a photo of his unusually smooth candy bar on Facebook, and the post quickly went viral.

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

Seager reached out to the company the next day. Seager 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.

Mars Wrigley U.K. did not offer Seager an explanation, but did award him a £2 voucher.
