52.5g of Duller Than I Expected.

The new Snickers Maximus from Mars promises the maximum load of Nuts & Caramel. Not being the sort of person to turn down something described as having the ‘Maximum Load’ of anyting, and with eager endorsement from Mr. T I purchased and ate one.

I didn't set out out to buy the thing to write about it, my life isn't so boring I need to write about it. But in my hollow desk existence I figured it would be a worthy topic. Hence the pic:



Thankfully combined with a Coke and some McCrips it came to exactly £2. Which is a fucking find for anyone with exactly £2.

Basically what you are getting here is the peanuts from a snickers immersed in caramel then chocolate coated. How is that different from a normal snickers? A normal snickers has that other stuff that is a bit like the soft part of a Mars bar, this fluffs it out and makes it a bit less tedious. I think the peanuts are honey roasted, which was tasty but the caramel prevailed photographically:


Bar Value: (I’ve always wondered what bar gives the best value. I propose a standard for measuring them)
Weight: 52.5g
Ruffage: 7/10 (Cant think of anything with more, so Maximum Load of nuts)
Chocolate: 5/10 (Good but thin)
Caramel: 8/10 (It was a lot more than a normal Mars or Snickers - Maximum Load indeed)
Satisfaction: 8/10 (I’m a big fan of Snickers, and this was a nice change, wouldn't swap the regular for them, but hope they stick around for a while)
Total Score: 80.5

Summary: When Mr.T tells you to buy something, do it.

Sweet Hit but you can get it anywhere.
