For the costly sum of $7.50 at AAMI stadium, I got to rediscover Mars Pods on Friday.
Yes, the price was extortionate. But I needed something to take away the flavour of the chicken salt chips and I was willing to pay the price.
So were they as I remembered from way back in 2005 when my 13-year-old self went on a diving trip on a boat full of honeymooners with only a bag of Mars Pods as my bargaining tool to make friends?
Yes, it seems they were. I like the way the wafer encapsulates the caramel and the chocolate tastes very similar to the British counterpart.
It does taste a bit too much like a cereal – as though it should be served in a bowlful of milk – but I can get over that.
Will I buy them again?
Yes, I probably would. But I definitely wouldn’t for that price.
