wash your hands (as you should anyway) and BREAK the candybar in half… no knife required… no special label to let you know that you CAN share it, and not inhale the entire candybar by yourself.

Of course your like ' Ok, so they feed a rat candy, whats the problem? ' No, its bigger than that. Experimenters force-fed the rats by shoving plastic tubes down their throats and then cut open the rats' legs to expose arteries, which were clamped shut to block blood flow. After the experiment, the animals were killed. Mars has also funded cruel experiments in which mice were fed a candy ingredient and forced to swim in a pool of paint and water. The mice had to find a hidden platform to avoid drowning, and after the experiment they were killed and dissected. In yet another experiment supported by Mars, rats were fed cocoa and then anesthetized with carbon dioxide. Their blood was collected by having needles jabbed directly into their hearts, which can lead to internal bleeding and other deadly complications. Mars is the only candy company that does this mind you. Another reason that Mars makes one wnat to jab their eyes out is because Mars condones and practices animal testing.

Proofreading only the copy isn't enough. I hate to belabor the obvious, but the label in the image you posted says “2 to go” It’s still stupid, but at least it isn’t illiterate.
