"Mars bar shortage causing gaps on UK supermarket shelves

Shoppers looking for popular chocolate snack encounter empty shelves and ‘out of stock’ messages

Shoppers looking for Mars bars have been encountering empty shelves and “out of stock” messages on supermarket websites, with some stores warning they are not expecting deliveries for two weeks or more.

When asked about the apparent shortages, one major retailer told the Guardian that “[it] looks like a production issue on Mars’s end may be causing gaps across retailers”.

In response, Mars Wrigley, the company behind Mars, Snickers, Bounty and Twix bars, said it was “experiencing high levels of demand”, but added that it wanted to “reassure the British public that our much-loved brands are still available nationwide”."

Considering all the very overweight people you see nowadays maybe that's a good thing.
