5. 5

   It literally takes 5 seconds

   This joke recipe became a massive trend in the mid nineties, starting off in a chip shop in Stonehaven, near Aberdeen, Scotland.

   A local newspaper ran a story on it and before long it became national news and every chip shop in Britain was battering 200-300 Mars Bars a week!
