The Marketing Department at Mars must be from another planet…Definitely NOT Mars…What were these guys thinking?

Delicious chocolate covering a tasty coconut center!

  If you have not been tuned to the Chocolate Channel or the Candy Channel this week – you may not have heard that Mars lost a legal battle when they tried to trademark the “shape” of their Bounty Bar.  Can you imagine what it cost to make the legal claim based on the unique shape of their candy bars?  Obviously, not a strong enough of a case to hold up in court…Nice try though… 

There may be two distinctive pieces inside each Bounty Bar – but surely whatever machine squeezes and shapes “The Twins” before they get wrapped and packed at the candy factory can’t be that unique.  Come On Folks – it’s just a candy bar – True, the Bounty Bar is a tasty little gem.  Even Saddam Hussein had a few Bounty Bars in his stash when he was found!  Now that is definitely a strong endorsement…What else comes to mind?  Mutiny On The Bounty?  A movie based on a “boat load” of candy in a wooden ship sailing around Tahiti?  Life can be good. Bella Mia Candy Store has plenty of Bounty bars in stock.  We import them directly from our distributor in Canada so there is no need to worry about the “sell by” date.  If you are in the Buffalo, NY area – stop in at our retail store and say hello.  You never know – if Tom The Boss is making a few of his locally infamous chocolate creations – he may even offer up a sample.  Doesn’t hurt to ask!

Aye Aye Captain Bligh!
