A 35-year-old Mars Bar has been found during a house clearance – and the discovery has gone viral amid claims it highlights the effect of “shrinkflation”.
The chocolate bar with a best-before date of 1991 was found during a clear-out of a house in Scunthorpe.
Victoria Gordon, who runs the cleaning service, posted a photo on social media of the 62.5g bar alongside one of today’s Mars Bars, which is 40g.
Mars Bar is one of my favorites. Regardless of size, I’m willing to defy the “best by” date in the name of science.
