Snickers being renamed Marathon
Gives me the chance to reuse an old joke.
I once entered a Marathon. Took ages to get the peanuts out of my bell end.

About time
Marathon the great british chocolate covered peanut bar :thumbup:
First we vote to ditch the EU, which might actually happen this year, then we get our chocolate bar name back for a limited time :thumbup::thumbup: 2019, what a year it could become

It’s mad how many people are so obsessed with nostalgia. They whitewash the past as some utopia in their head and then are easily sold a load of shit.

I think most of us look back at our younger days and claim they were the best times. There are reasons for this in that your teenage years (in particular) are the most intertwined in our memories as our brains undergo an incredible rate of development as we are most socially active. Think of how most people still listen to the music they were brought up with and discovered when they were young.
The more rational among us know that things are no better or worse in one era or another, they're just different.

Incidentally, Snickers is the 2nd biggest selling chocolate in the UK, guess what the first is

Re: Snickers being renamed Marathon
So people think this is Britain shaking off the shackles of other countries and striking out on its own, when really it's a scheme devised to give an American multinational company more sales in the UK market.

Seven chocolate bars that changed their names - Marathon kick-starts the trend!
1. Snickers | Marathon bars
2. Starburst | Opal Fruits
3. Daim bars | Dime bars
4. Twix | Raider
5. Milky Way | Flyte
6. Boost Peanut | Starbar
7. Milkybar | Galak
Half of those rebrands passed me by.

Not my list - just (as they said in Drop The Dead Donkey) running it up the flagpole to see who salutes! :hehe:
Congratulations on winning the 'Spot The Odd One Out' competition. The prize is a year's supply of chocolate Opal Fruits. Enjoy!

Is there anybody left on the planet who hasn`t eaten a Mars bar / Product ? I doubt it .
And yes I had my first Mars bar more than 50 years ago, I would be lying if I denied it.
