More than any time in history mankind faces a crossroads.
One path leads to despair and utter hopelessness, the other to total extinction.
Let us pray that we have the wisdom to choose correctly.

Maybe she's gonna donate those candy to an orphanage or something...
Making 10,000 kids happy with only $3800, that's money well spent.ML
... from the beginning.

know the feeling, a serious case of the munchies
If you must choose between two evils, pick the one you've never tried before.

What does driving off in a limo have anything to do with it?

if she already owns the limo, it'd be more expensive to rent a truck!

Anyone notice the spelling error in the article? Or is it just me?
The total bill was 2,131 pounds ($3,828).
"It was very, very strange but nobody thought to ask her why she wanted so many," the spokesman said.
"It would usually take us a month to shift that number of chocolate bars," he added. "Perhaps she has a sweet tooth."
Should it not be "ship" instead of shift?
That's alot of bars....and a whole lot of cavities

Wow, what an amazing piece of marketing.
Worldwide marketing of Mars Bars for such a low outlay from the Mars marketing department. Well done guys, that's clever thinking.Web Hosting since 1999

Was thinking exactly the same thing, good marketing. Could probably put the items they bought back out and reduce the amount spent even more.
