Snickers is named the nation’s No1 chocolate bar and we're not too sure how we feel about it 🤔
IT was the nation’s No1 choccy bar 30 years ago – and today Snickers is back at top spot.
The nutty snack, known as the Marathon up until 1990, has been the top-selling treat several times over the past three decades.Made by American giant Mars, Snickers also claimed the title in 2012 and 2017, seeing off fierce competition from the likes of Dairy Milk, Galaxy, Maltesers and KitKat.

The taste of chocolate seems to miss something on its own, but chocolate and nuts have always been a classic combination.In the fight for supremacy, I’ve seen the Mars bar being overtaken by Maltesers and now Snickers has landed the crown once again. It’s fascinating because I still meet people who refuse to eat a Snickers because they remember the old brand, Marathon, and were wedded to it.Last year, Mars changed the name back for a limited time. They must have sold oceans. A lot of people suddenly felt they could buy a bar without buying Snickers.We don’t like them to be tampered with, reduced in size or repackaged.But despite all that battle, Snickers has triumphed.Snickers will be a favourite for years to come.
