Quote of the day

"No application for a protected geographical indication has been filed to date. Should an application be filed, unfortunately, we wouldn't be able to support it as deep-frying one of our products would go against our commitment to promoting healthy, active lifestyles."

Mars respond to a Stonehaven chippy's plans to apply for EU protected geographical status for the deep-fried Mars Bar, seemingly under the illusion that Mars Bars are life-giving health foods. Presumably they think that "five-a-day" refers to five differently coloured Skittles.
