A Mars a day...

Hello!

According to the advert, "A Mars a day helps you work, rest, and play".

I'm currently signed off with a bad back - I've eaten a Mars Bar but I don't feel any better (even when I'm resting, like my doctor said I should). Am I doing something wrong? I look forward to hearing from you.

Cheers,
Dave
