The classic Snickers is back!

Do you know what Snickers bars were called 30 years ago? Probably not, but soon residents of the United Kingdom will have the opportunity to find out the old name. How is this possible? Well, the US-based Mars corporation, which produces, among other things, the popular Snickers bars, has decided to introduce "Marathon" bars to the British market to celebrate the 85th anniversary of its production. These bars were replaced by the now-popular Snickers 30 years ago. It is worth remembering that the bars under the old name were sold in the United Kingdom until 1990. Recently, the manufacturer re-registered the name "Marathon" as a British trademark.

Snickers = Marathon

The bars, now bearing the old-new name, will be available on the market for a period of 3 months. This is intended not only to celebrate several decades of chocolate production but also to pay tribute to long-time consumers and fans of the brand who still remember the bars produced and sold under the old trademark – Marathon.

According to the American manufacturer, consumers have no reason to worry, as apart from the change in branding, the composition of the bars and the production process remain unchanged, so there will be no difference in the taste of the popular bars.

Were those products really good back then, or is it just nostalgia or a marketing trick?

Undoubtedly, Mars Corporation has launched an interesting initiative that will not only allow consumers to learn about the history of the brand itself, but also to rediscover the “Marathon” trademark that was used in the past. What will be the actual reaction of consumers in the British market? We will find out in the near future.

It is worth noting that similar campaigns have taken place with other companies in the past. As an example, we can mention that in 2008, the popular Starburst candies were also briefly reintroduced to the market under the old “Opal Fruits” branding.
