Kit-Kat for me in this group, not sure why as I like Mars bars. Possibly the Mars is just too sweet.

They did! It now tastes more like the old Milky Way. I'm talking 15-20 years ago

sad if Mars falls at the first hurdle but how can you vote against Kitkat (unless it's a snickers of course).

From Wiki (I know it's not always right, but it is on this occasion)
"In 2002, the Mars bar was reformulated and its logo was updated with a more cursive appearance. Its price also increased.[2] The nougat was made lighter, the chocolate on top became thinner, and the overall weight of the bar was reduced slightly. In Britain, this was met with outrage from Mars purists, as in a sales pitch to local media in Slough, the change in ingredients was to follow the trend of its sister the Milky Way bar and 5 Star bars. Product designers at The Mars Candy Company in the US put this down to nostalgia over the past hugely popular Starbar, which also contained the same reinvented "light whipped nougatine"."

Kit Kat for me please. Mars is just too sickly.
I remember it well, mum sent them an angry complaint about it and they gave her some vouchers.
Kit Kat Chunky Mint, really? That's like entering Acrington Stanley in the Champions League.
I'm going to stick with Mars though, I still think it fulfils the purpose of being an occasional treat.

Mars has been ruined by the Septics, Kit Kat is too humdrum for me whereas a Ripple has class.....
