anyone remember back 15 years or so ago when some brothers used to think mars bars were made with lecithin derived from blood .. we had a sister call the company and interrogate them.

I remember a rumor from the 60s that 'Tiger Shake' a chocolate drink mix, contained blood because it was iron fortafied.
