Didn't read all the responses, but common sense would tell you that a dragon fly does not have a 24 hour lifespan.

Googlefoo quickly verified that a dragon fly lives longer than 24 hours.

If someone has already addressed this mistake, apologies

Mars bars were made by the Mars Brothers originally and I think under licence in other countries now so could well be a pet food company, not sure who makes them here but most likely Cadbury or Nestle who seem to have a monopoly on most confectionery with chocolate.

Mars family still owns the business, they are one of the wealthiest families in world.
In us nestle has sold their candy business

Speaking of Nestle, when I was in the UK they pronounced it 'ness-ell', here we say 'ness-lay', how do you pronounce it?
