My understanding is that the only people who buy deep fried Mars bars are tourists.
The chip shop in question is the Carron Fish Bar and the "delicacy" is still on offer at £2.50 each.

I just told him he was crazy and deserved to throw up, she just stayed silent, the look said enough. No idea what discussion took place later, nor whether he has eaten another one.
