    No help with the original post but I asked the question the other day while having a Bounty and a Mint Aero,

    Was there ever a green Bounty? A mint flavoured one, maybe a limited edition thing.

    If there wasn't there should be!!!!!

    Mint & coconut. Are you mad?

    yeah i'm positive too. only because i remember the outrage i felt when they changed them into 2 halves (thus cleverly giving me slightly less choclatey goodness for my money due to the ends being rounded).

    i never quite got over that i dont think...

    I dont think you lost out on chocolatey goodness....cause with two bars you have 4 chocolate ends instead of 2 so you might even have been getting more chocolatey goodness!!!:pac:

    Bounty bars used to be 1 bar. I am 100% certain of that. So certain that I will bet any amount of money against anyone who begs to differ.
    I bet you a pint you are wrong.

    Cause you're always wrong.

    There would actually be more chocolate due to the all encompassing nature of said chocolate in relation to its coconutty contents. Your point in terms of overall mass is valid however.

    2 for as long as i can remember which is mid eighties

    They used to have a strip of cardbord on 1 side to make the bar seem rigid in the wrapper if that is what you are thinking about??

    The cardboard went in the 90's (early i'd say)

    Dear Phil,

    Thank you for contacting us about our Bounty bar.

    I can confirm that it was first produced back in 1951 in 2 pieces, it has never been just one bar only.


    Once again, thank you for contacting Mars.

    Yours sincerely

    Do they still make the red ones?
    Yes. Not everywhere sells them, but the shop in the lobby at St. James' Hospital in Dublin does.

    I freaking LOVE bounties! They so need to pull the finger out and produce a king sized one, like the old king sized mars.

    Being a bounty lover rocks, I get ALL the bounties outta the box of celebrations cause no one else likes em.. freaks! :pac:

    I always thought they used to be one long bar. I thought the double bounty only came about around 1998-2002! Can't believe everybody saying it was always a double bar.. if that's true my mind is blown.

    Nope, always been 2 bars. Unfortunately I'm old enough to remember back as far as 30 years :mad:

    I could, of course, be suffering from age related memory loss... :D

    Agree always 2 bars. I can go back 35 years and it was the two halves in one long wrapper for definite.

    How do we know that bar is definitely a bounty? Could be a 'topic' or something!

    I think that might be the smell off that over sized bounty.

    I didn't photoshop it - just found it on the web... but looking at it now, it appears to have had some work done to it.

    That and the fact the wrapper still states "Bounty 2x" at the bottom.
