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."

As she was a middle eastern Lady, there are probably several paranoiacs and scaremongers convinced she's gonna flood the convenience stores and shops of Britain with POISONED Mars bars.

Me ? I prefer a Kit Kat or a block of Galaxy. Safe :skeptic:

Mars aren't easily found in the stores here anymore. The best candy bars are Whatchamacallit, 5th Avenue, Almond Joy, Big Kat, and any dark chocolate bar like some uppity brand such as Valrhona.
