A way to Identify Winning Mars 'Free Bar' Wrappers

I've had a good week this week, i've won 2 winning Bounty Bars and was looking at them to see if I could find a way of identifying the winning ones, I've found quite an easy way to do it but it requires a good torch.

So with my new Cree torch which arrived from Banggood last week(which is great btw), I shone it through an unopened one I had in the house to see if I could see the text on the inside…and it works!

Here's a pic of a 'none winning' unopened one I had in the fridge. http://files.ozbargain.com.au/upload/74391/16410/dsc_0015_1.…

Basically, all you do is turn the bar upside down and slightly lift the part where the wrapper is folded over above the 'satisfaction guarantee' info.

Then, just shine your torch through the external barcode/nutrional info box and you will then see any text that is written on the inside of the wrapper.

On the pic above you'll see quite clearly the words 'TRY AGAIN'. On the winning bars, you'll see the word CONGRATULATIONS in the same spot.

I know this won't be for everyone as I can imagine quite a few including myself would think rummaging through your local shop shining torches at the products with a squinty face would raise a few eyebrows, but for those who don't give a damn or work in a store…then no worries - free chocolate!!

    You DO realise you've just published a method whereby any small store has a guaranteed way of ensuring you NEVER get a free bar??

    While you are highly unlikely to get away with standing in the store shining a torch through each wrapper, there's noting stopping them from doing it themselves.
