There are several ways in which you can bring on an diabetic coma. I'm guessing this must be the quickest.
Yes, I am Scottish.
No, I have never eaten one of these (nor am I ever likely to). The deep fried Bounty has been done by Nigella Lawson however
It is said to have been invented in the Haven Chip Bar in Stonehaven, near Aberdeen on Scotland's northeast coast, in 1995. The first recorded mention of the food was in the Daily Record, August 24, 1995, in an article titled "Mars supper, please".
In a study published in The Lancet in December 2004, David Morrison (Greater Glasgow NHS Board, UK) and Mark Petticrew (MRC Social & Public Health Sciences Unit) surveyed around 300 Scottish fish and chip shops: 22% sold deep-fried Mars bars, while an additional 17% of those surveyed had sold them in the past. Of the shops selling deep-fried Mars, three-quarters had only been selling them for the past 3 years. Average sales were 23 bars per week, although 10 outlets sold between 50 and 200 bars a week. The average price per bar was 60 pence, and the younger generation were the main purchasers?three-quarters were sold to children and 15% to adolescents.
Deep-fried Mars bars were found in a March 2003 Time for Kids article which addressed the popularity and health concern of these treats.
