Neil Patrick Harris makes life sweeter with Real Chocolate Relief Act
Enough of the free KFC grilled chicken. How about some free Mars chocolate?
"How I Met Your Mother" star Neil Patrick Harris hands out free Mars candy bars in New York as part of Mars' Real Chocolate Relief Act, which aims to improve the world's mood through candy.
Mars has announced that the company will give away a quarter-of-a- million full-size packages of real chocolate on Free Chocolate Fridays.
Americans can claim one of 250,000 coupons each Friday beginning on May 8 at 9 a.m. by visiting RealChocolate.com.
Coupons, which will be mailed to consumers, will be distributed on a first-come, first-serve basis and are redeemable for any full-size Mars real chocolate product. The coupons will be limited to one per person, per week.
We give them this: NPH is way less creepy than Johnny Depp in "The Chocolate Factory."
And thank heavens there are no scary Oompa Loompas to frighten the children.
We're waiting for the free hybrid cars and free homes.

Mars needs to build some good will, not just for the American people who are experiencing tough times, but also for Mars itself. The chocolate-maker is in big trouble -- the kind that does not engender any good will. Mars, together with Hershey, Nestle and Cadbury are facing accusations of PRICE FIXING!
Together these four control 75 percent of the US chocolate market and have some 87 antitrust suits against them. They are accused of conspiring to raise chocolate candy prices three different times with identical price increases.
Ethic Soup as a good article on the secret meetings and evidence of price fixing in the chocolate market, ripe for collusion at:

So now Mars is going to give you a free candy bar. Big Deal.
Oh, cool. thanks
