Maybe somebody can answer this...

Mars bars & snickers & crunchies etc, are just one long bar. But can anybody explain why a bounty comes in 2 pieces?

Is it something to do with the fact that coconut is more expensive? or is there a more sinister reason?

Dracoro

So you can share.

Oi everyone! give me your spare bounty pieces!

Crush.......years ago you could buy bountys as either a single or double bar.I think it was 6p for a single and 12p for a double.
I guess they just never bothered to change it.

Also ,with 2 bars there's more chocolate to bite from the outside before you eat the coconut

The Crushinator

I also seem to remember them coming in a small piece of folded card inside the wrapper.

Jen.

Mm...bounty's!

Yep - small bit of card - I used to have one after swimming when I was younger....they never used to let me have the chocolate though

The Crushinator

Bounty's are probably the only chocolate i eat. I just wish you could buy them without the chocolate on them

I'm sure turkish delights had a bit of card inside too.

The Crushinator

You mean you ate the card and not the chocolate Jen?

Dracoro

Isn't that what your supposed to do? it's what the big boys at skool told me to do.

Reffro

With the old bounty wrapping when it had the card inside, you could easily snap the wrapper open in the centre. My dad used to do that when we were shopping, grabbing a bounty off the shelf as we walked round the supermarket, snapping it open, and sharing it between me and him. Used to make the checkout girls frown as they wondered why there was an empty wrapper on the conveyor when dad went to pay for it. Not especially rivetting for others, but it makes me smile

The Crushinator

LOL @ Drac

Jen.

lol! Turkish Delight? I could never eat anything that smelt like perfume

Now chunky KitKats... mmmmm or Yorkies! (although I resent having to dress up like a bloke to get one )

paulr

Turkish delieght....yuk.....i used to hate the texture of the middle stuff......after eights,now i could eat a whole box

The Crushinator

Those crispy mint chocolates are my favourites, but you only ever see them around Christmas time

Tiggs

a bounty would snap if it was one long bar, it is shorter for ridigity.

Brendan Hughes

yeah, that's what I tell my wife...

Tiggs

be carefull, even a shorter one will still melt.

druddle

Dont they do the same with Milky Ways ? They come in a big packet of 2, or you can get packets with one it.

Soft and light and they dont spoil your appetite.....

Scooby Dooby Blue

Along plankys retro-sweetie theme...

my fav as a kid was a Texan. Long bar of chewy caramel toffee in what seemed to be imitation chocolate

Second fav was a splicer. Soft chewy bar, stripy colours...***** Wonka material!

Yeh, whos bothered about Sept 11th and Iraq, policemen battering students, policemen downloading child **** from the FBI, fish stocks on the brink of collapse, the number of mugging on our streets, the reduction in the ozone layer and the rising sea levels, the number of bogus asylum seekers bleeding our system, the rate of child illness due to pollution, the lack of any real alternative to New Labour, the state of the NHS, the state of our schools, the state of our country!

Yeh, lets get down to the serious issues, .................................................. .........why do bounty bars come in twos?

I GIVE UP

planky

So NO ones heard of a Moose bar then

EBR

Had the odd chocolate moose in my time - would love to share one with the wife some time but I don't think she's up for it
