Geoff:
Mars used to get chocolate from Cadburys in their early days but has never 
been part of that group. They are currently Master Foods (MArs UK Ltd.).

If you visit www.chocablog.com/reviews/mars-bar/ there's a short history 
and a YouTube link to a 1986 commercial with the famous "A Mars a day 
helps you work rest and play" slogan. Which, to a UK resident is sheer 
nostalgia,,,,
