LONDON, England (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."

Perhaps she's just read Charlie & the Chocolate Factory. :D

I just wonder: Why?

Maybe she got an enormous hunger for Mars bars? [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Yes, yes that is a distinct possibility [img]smile.gif[/img]

She's gonna be fatter then ME!!!

maybe it's just a PR stunt

Was it Marianne Faithfull?


;)

She must have had one hell of a choclate jones going on!

It would take her a long time to get through that many...ick, they'd be stale unless he has one GIGANTIC freezer handy.

I'm guessing it was for a charity or some promotional give away or something.
