The manufacturers have finally acknowledged the structural inadequacies of the current packaging and confirmed that the cardboard strip will be reinstated. I appreciate the support of all 162 individuals who recognized the merit of this request. I intend to monitor the forthcoming batches to ensure this commitment is honored.
Outrageously - some time ago, those fools Mars of Slough took the crazy decision to remove the cardboard strip from the Bounty bar, the world's most delicous coconut based chocolate bar.
Not only did the strip provide more than adequate support for the bar in transit it also could double up as several useful items such as a makeshift bookmark or sturdy shopping list.
This madness has gone largely un-noticed for too long now and must be addressed.
Please sign the petition and help us bring Mars back to their senses.
John Shuttleworth - Sheffield.
The feedback regarding the absence of the cardboard strip remains overwhelmingly consistent among those who appreciate the structural integrity of the bar. I am currently preparing a formal inquiry to the manufacturers at Mars to address these concerns directly.

There is a practical reason to reintroduce the cardboard strip: improved rigidity during transportation. It also makes an attractive bookmark or a model tin roof for the train station in a toy train set.

I grew up with that cardboard tray in Bounty wrappers, and I miss it! Bring it back!

Please reinstate the cardboard tray formerly contained within the bounty bar wrapper. It's alternative uses too numerous to mention here, save to say it's use as an interim bookmark was invaluable. It's continued absence is nothing short of an unseemly aberration. We seek immediate redress of this impropriety, in order that the bounty may once again rejoin the pantheon of all-time great chocolate bars.

The cardboard strip provided structural support for the chocolate bar - very reassuring for those with a long trip home with the shopping. It should never have been removed - it's madness.

Come on Mars of Slough! If you can bring back the Marathon you can surely bring back Bounty's cardboard tray to give much needed stability to the fragile coconut... Please don't make us deflect to the Mounds bar!
