[QUOTE=TestECull;37552137]Oh come on Mars, leave it alone already. I don't think there's a single adult on this planet stupid enough to think a deep fried candy bar is in any way remotely healthy.[/QUOTE]
That's not the point. They just want to have disclaimers that Mars does not support the act of deep frying mars bars.
It's just to avoid any issues with people thinking Mars promotes the act.
[QUOTE=Catdaemon;37551568]Am I missing something here? Mars bars? Healthy, active lifestyle?[/QUOTE]
Candy isn't inherently bad for you. Taking a candy bar now and then (really, "now and then", not "every other day" which other people interpret "now and then" as) isn't really unhealthy and it can give you the energy you need to keep on doing your activity, an activity that causes improved health.
It's not that Mars is in any way healthy, but it's only UNhealthy if you eat it often, especially if you eat it as a snack rather than an energy provider during trips/acitivites/etc.

[QUOTE=Generic.Monk;37556745]I don't really agree with fast food/confectionery companies banging on about healthy living considering what they sell, but it's not as if they can tell people to eat less, haha.[/QUOTE]
They're not selling their candy as if it was something you need to eat daily. Most of candy commercials focuses on A) Fun b) weekend/seldom snack for those special moments.
At least I have never seen a commercial that ever promotes candy as healthy nor as something you should eat every day all the time.
They sell a product people want, and they sell it with the intention (besides money I mean) of allowing people to have a good time every now and then.
Because they sell and make candy doesn't make them responsible for other peoples unheatlhy lifestyles and lack of self control. That's like being mad at people that develope violent video games because they protest against war and violence.
You guys are pussy, when I used to go round my mates and blaze, we'd always order food. I'd always get meal deal 1; 2 large bits of chicken, 3 hot wings, large chips and a coke. I'd top it off with a deep fried mars bar.
They're damn good. Always finish my battered mars bar.

Fried snickers is just as nice as well
We never should have given Curiosity a deep fryer in the first place.
Well regular Mars bars aren't even that healthy in the first place, so I don't know what their problem is
fish and chips shops usually do them, there so fucking good

I feel my arteries clogging up just from looking at that picture.
Also, how can anyone claim the [b]recipe[/b] to deep-frying a mars bar? You literally just chuck the bar in a vat of boiling fat and scoop it out again when it floats to the top.
I tried one once, It felt like the fat was oozing through my arteries, like toothpaste.
That thing looks completely and utterly disgusting. How did people come up with this anyway? Then again, that can be applied to a lot of things that are deep fried these days. *shudder*
Deep fried sausages are pretty nice

Nope, I've genuinely not seen wite dog poo ever; people in my area must be too considerate and clean up their dog crap.

Missed out an important stage there, you're going to end up with a melted mars bar ruining your batch of oil. You're supposed to chill it in the fridge, cover in batter and then fry. :v:
It's genuinely horrible, though.
So much hate on deep fried mars bars, their actually pretty nice and very cheap. My local chippy deep fries literally anything if you ask, including every type of chocolate bar they have.
Just to say I don't really support the eating of these regularly. Their only nice very sparingly, like once a year or something.
[QUOTE=Ond kaja;37557271]Fuck, I need to try this. But I don't know anyone that deep fries Mars bars. :([/QUOTE]
Find any chippy, and they will deep fry a mars bar for you.
There's one just down the road from me that actually has Nutella Pizza on the menu, and I point blank refuse to find out what the fuck it is.
The BBC have done a whole article on whether people actually eat them or not [url]http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/magazine-19463119[/url]
Everyone who is saying it looks gross; please, just try one.
I have converted so many people, I tried one about 2 years ago and ever since I've treated myself to one almost every week (If I pass the chip shop). Everyone turns their nose up and I beg them to just take a bite, 9 times out of 10 we end up staying there so they can then get one of their own. They're fucking incr[U][B]edible[/B][/U].
