WE’VE SPOKEN BEFORE of one of the great unsolved mysteries in the Irish chocolate world: the sudden and unexplained removal of the Mars Delight.

The ‘lighter’ version of the Mars was introduced in 2004 and taken away just a few years later.

Now, there is an actual petition to bring them back to Ireland

The change.org petition has over 500 signatures and a simple description:

For you, your kids, and their kids

And the comments basically go like:

It was probably my favourite bar of all time and I need it back on my life.

It has a cult fanbase

Who only have one request

Earlier this year, Mars said:

Hi Courts, the Mars Delight is currently under marketing review, but we'll be sure to pass along your suggestion to our team!

So maybe all they need to push it over the line is a momentum-shifting petition.

We can dream.
