The Mars bar was discontinued in the United States in 2002 but was relaunched last year.
(am I the only one who notices when candy bars disappear? Peanut-Butter-Twix anyone?)
The American version of the Mars bar is not the same as the one sold in the UK.
So if you're looking for that signature black wrapper and red lettering you're going to be searching for a long time (unless you're in the imported/ethnic foods section of certain stores. If that's where you are then you shouldn't be having this problem, and can stop reading this blog post, and go ahead and eat your candy bar).
Though the American version is pretty different, I found the white nougat quite enjoyable.
This may be due to the fact that I consumed it at that around 3pm, which is when I almost regularly crave a chocolate fix.
Also, thanks Amanda for providing said candy bar.
Also, also, the Mars bar is being sold exclusively through Walmart stores.
I was wondering why I saw Mars bars everywhere in Scotland, but not here. Weird how they will only be sold at WalMart. I guess I'm not too sad though. I have gotten hooked on the German made Ritter Bars. They have to be some of the best chocolate ever, albeit expensive, but with such good chocolate you only need a little bite here and there.
