| | markets | unknown | Searched amazon.co.uk on 2026-09-25: the store's own search answered a bot check, and web searches for the full name, the brand and the barcode found only "Chocolate Bar Bundle Consisting of Mars Bars Multipack 3 x 39.4g (3 Pack)" (B0CZJY6SS1), a bundle of three of these packs rather than one, plus 4-, 7- and 9-bar packs. No amazon.co.uk listing of this pack was read. | |
| | markets | unknown | Searched amazon.ie on 2026-09-25 for "Mars 3 x 39.4g", "Mars chocolate 3 pack", "Mars" and 5000159564038: the results listed 51 g singles, a 5 x 45 g pack and bulk boxes, and the barcode search returned nothing. | |
| | identity | unknown | Dee Bee Wholesale marks the article "No Longer Available" and Mars publishes no range page for price-marked multipacks, so whether it is still made is not stated by Mars. A GBP 1.50 price-marked three-pack of the same size is sold under 5000159571869. | ^deebee |
| | markets | unknown | British Food Depot, a US importer, lists "Mars Bar 3 x Bar Multipack 118.2g" at USD 5.75 without a barcode; the UK packs of this size exist under several price-mark barcodes, so the listing is not assigned to this one. | https://britishfooddepot.com/mars-bar-3-x-bar-multipack-118-2g/ |
| | identity | not_researched | The photographs read carry no origin statement, so country_of_origin is left empty. | ^off-nut |
| | relationships | unknown | GS1's GDSN trading-partner list settles who holds the prefix but not how long it is, so 5000159 is recorded as a seven-digit prefix without a published allocation length. | ^gs1-gdsn |
