Mars Snackfood US yesterday unveiled the Mars "Real Chocolate Relief Act," a national effort aimed at cheering up Americans concerned about such pressing problems as the economy with free, full-sized samples of Mars chocolate products, product discounts and coupons, as well as the advent of Free Chocolate Fridays.

"Brands like M&Ms, Snickers, Dove Chocolate, Twix, Milky Way and 3 Musketeers are loved by Americans," stated Michele Kessler, vice president at Hackettstown, N.J.-based Mars Snackfood US. "That's why we've created the Mars Real Chocolate Relief Act. It's our way of giving Americans a small treat during challenging times."

As part of the campaign, every week through the end of September, Mars will give away a quarter-of-a-million full-size packages of M&Ms, Snickers, Milky Way, Twix, Dove and 3 Musketeers chocolate candy on Free Chocolate Fridays. Americans can claim one of 250,000 full-value coupons each Friday beginning today at 9 a.m. EST by visiting RealChocolate.com. Coupons, which will be mailed to consumers, are given out on a first-come, first-serve basis and are redeemable for any full-size Mars chocolate product. The coupons are limited to one per person, per week, according to Mars.
