I'll Have 10,000 Chocolate Bars to Go, Please

LONDON (Reuters) - A woman with an apparently insatiable sweet tooth stunned staff at a British shop when she bought more than 10,000 chocolate bars and had them loaded into her chauffeur-driven limousine.



The woman asked staff at a north London Woolworths branch for every single Mars bar in stock -- 10,656 of them packed in 220 boxes -- and paid for them in cash with 50 pound notes, a Woolworths spokesman said on Wednesday.


The total bill was 2,131 pounds ($3,828).


"It was very, very strange but nobody thought to ask her why she wanted so many," the spokesman said.


"It would usually take us a month to shift that number of chocolate bars," he added. "Perhaps she has a sweet tooth."
