DEEP fried lawsuits.
One might be excused for
thinking that the sheer volume of
sugar, fat and salt in a Mars Bar
would preclude it from being
considered a healthy snack,
however lawyers from the
manufacturers of the chocolate
are hoping to distance the bar
from its unhealthier cousin, the
deep fried Mars Bar.
The law firm has written to the
Aberdeenshire fish and chip
shop in Scotland, the supposed
birthplace of the deep fried
delight, requesting that the shop
write a disclaimer on its menus
saying that the Deep Fried Mars
Bar is not authorised by the
company.
The company’s objection,
according to reports, appears to
spring from the fact that Deep
Fried Mars Bars are not in line
with Mars’ marketing code which
promotes a “healthy active
lifestyle”.

If so, visiting or living in the Yushan village in Hefeng County, Hubei Province, China, is totally off the cards for you, with the only access to the village being a rope between two sheer cliffs. Dubbed as the world’s most isolated village, the community of 200 installed the ropeway 15 years ago, before which they had to walk several days to reach other townships to trade goods. The ropeway is 1,000 metres long, powered by a diesel engine, and 400 metres above ground. The brave soul who maintains the ropeway, Zhang Xinjian, was the only volunteer for the job.
