Does anyone else agree that mars bars taste better when they are sliced - instead of munching from the packet?

I also feel it helps when the sliced mars bar is on a nice saucer.

Please experiment and report your findings!

Nice little slices of mars bar - forget the org jail is there an org "institute" for obsessive compulsive mars bar eaters????

Sliced mars and marathon both benefit from a stay in the freezer prior to eating, yummy:lol:

I'm not that keen on Mars bars but if you cut them up I love them. :confused Why do they taste so much better sliced?

Billy Boy
01-Dec-06, 20:42
how can a mars bar change taste whether you cut it or bite it? does it know the difference between a bite or a knife NO:roll: so get a grip, it taste's the same[lol]

Are you going to tell us????

I sit here on tenderhooks, if it wasnt for the fact that the mars bar sliced/unsliced thread was diverting my attention, I would be going off the heed.

crashbandicoot1979
01-Dec-06, 23:11
Definitely sliced, on a saucer, and left in the fridge for a while beforehand. I can't eat a whole mars bar unless its been sliced. Seriously. It definitely tastes different! However I can eat a mars ice cream bar without slicing it but I'll save that for another thread....

i have already solved your dilemma,it does not matter if you bite or slice it tastes the same,so off to the institute you go[lol]

Don't worry Granty, I'm coming too. We can sit and eat sliced mars bars all day and leave the rest of them with their silk boxer shorts [lol]

yes mars bars are definatly easier to eat in a straight jacket if sliced an fed via "blunt" cocktail stick by the nice warden - don`t you agree crash bandicoot!

Billy Boy
01-Dec-06, 23:30
i wonder!! do skid marks come of silk easier than cotten:eek:

I remember eating the slices with a fork years ago, but I'm thinking that the straightjacket and blunt cocktail stick would be much easier....but only if the slices are chilled first. Its not the same if they don't chill them. I won't like it, I'll go mad, I'll kick the wardens.....

I doubt if they would stick on as easy in the first place, probably slide off. :confused:

Awww just when the conversation was getting interesting :roll: I like to slice mars bars and put them in the fridge as I have never been able to eat a whole one ,I find them a bit sickly.If they are chilled the caramel doesnt seem to stick to your teeth the same and before you ask no I dont have false teeth..:lol:

Could be anywhere, I used to have a neighbour who had them on the back of her trousers. :eek:

Isn't this a funny thread - simultaneous discussions about slicing mars bars and the habits of skid marks :lol:

connieb19
01-Dec-06, 23:43
The snack size ones are good if you put them in the freezer, I think if you tried a whole one you'd have no teeth left.

Are we allowed to mention mars bar slices in this thread or would that be deemed as going off topic ( as if skid marks in your drawers wasnt a bit off topic:lol: ) kids like mars bars melted down into mars bar slice. yummy :cool:

connieb19
01-Dec-06, 23:48
Topics are good sliced or put in the freezer too. :D

Oh no, don't mention nuts and skid marks in the same thread, that's just asking for disaster. lol:eek:

Someone in Orgland agrees with me that the only way to eat a Mars bar is whole. At this point in the poll taking, 2 of us have voted disagree.

In fact I have never heard of having them sliced. Once they are sliced do you spread them with jam? Do you put them in a cocktail like ricco was suggesting? Or is this just one of those slow Friday evenings in Caithness?

Granty the men in white coats are coming to get you. If you really want to know the ins and outs of mars bars ask Marianne Faithfull and Mick Jagger about their experiences with them. lol

02-Dec-06, 05:56
I disagree that Mars bars taste better when sliced, but agree that granty truly believes that they do. I would just cram the whole thing in my mouth and be done with the fussy slicing and arranging on china plate.

I had a friend who was convinced that a cup of tea tasted better in a fine porcelain teacup. But my truth is, the best cup of tea I ever had was from a tin cup at the top of a snowy mountain.

sliced, frozen and then let them melt slowly in your mouth without chewing .......... mmmmmmmmmmmmmm:)

It tastes soooooo much better out of a can than out of a bottle!

You're right, but it's even better if you can get the glass bottles, I hardly ever see them though.

Thats true, it always tastes better out of glass bottles but I haven't seen them in years. I hate the taste of any fizzy juice out of plastic bottles, don't know why but I definitely prefer it from cans. Maybe its the taste of the aluminium :confused

Lochshell filling station do the glass bottles, they're brilliant. :)

I don't like tins of coke if they are poured into a glass, I rather it straight from the tin. :confused And I know what you mean about plastic tumblers, I hate drinking from them too, but whats even worse is if someone puts coke into a mug, YUK!!

Support for the disagree side is growing. We are up to 3.

I assume that slicing involves cutting with a knife, so tell me, don't you loose some of the bar onto the knife, or do you risk cutting your tongue by licking it off? I'm sticking with eating it unsliced.

Take note Grant, I like mine room temperature and straight from the wrapper. Sliced and frozen reminds me too much of Scottish Slimmers!!

As well as slicing the mars bar i also on ocassions nibble all the chocolate off then the bottom layer so i'm left with the best bit, the caramel.:D
