h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

I wouldn't know, but my father says that Snickers bars used to be called Marathon bars, is this true?, I'm too young to remember (Aged 13)

And as for the battered topic, tried jelly :p

THAT is an experience

For any americans, jelly is our name for 'gelatin desserts' or something......

I can remember the change over and am 28 therefore we can narrow it down to a 15 year margin.

There was recently an attempt to change the name of "coco pops" which was succesfully repelled by todays youth. If only we had taken that type of stance when the "Marathon" debacle was upon us...I mean - "Snickers"..what kind of name is that?

I don't remember there being a debate, even!
One minute there were Marathon bars, then there were Snickers.
They have never tasted the same.....{sigh}
