It's a sad time to be a vegetarian. Damn you mars for taking my favourite chocolate bar from me. If you do not know what I'm on about and you're vegetarian you should probably keep reading because it's really going to affect your future chocolate fixes.

I spent 10 on galaxy yesterday.

Statement released from Mars

"Due to a change in the ingredients used in our chocolate recipes from 1st May 2007 many of our products now contain whey. This is a by-product of the cheese making process and uses rennet derived from an animal source. Therefore we feel it is for individual vegetarians to judge whether they are comfortable in consuming cheese products that do not bear a vegetarian symbol; we would consider our products to fall into this same category.

This includes Galaxy, Mars, Bounty, Celebrations, Maltesers, Milky Way, Revels, Snickers, Topic and Twix.

Products that are currently in store or that you may have already purchased that carry a Best Before Date of 1st October or before are still suitable for your consumption, however if you have purchased any products with a best before after this date then we will be more than happy to refund the value of the product. Please see attached lists for further information."

Milky War, I'm going to miss you.
I can only hope with every chocolate loving bone in my body that there will be such a dent in sales Mars will realise the error in their ways and return to using rennet free whey.
Haha, never going to happen is it.
First Krononburg Blanc then Galaxy Ripples. WHAT NEXT!?
