History
In 1930, Mars introduced Snickers, named after the favorite horse of the Mars family. The Snickers candy bar consists of nougat, peanuts and caramel with a chocolate coating. The bar was marketed under the name "Marathon" in the UK and Ireland until July 19, 1990, when Mars decided to align the UK product with the global Snickers name. There are also several other Snickers products such as Snickers mini, dark chocolate, white chocolate, ice cream bars, Snickers with almonds and Snickers peanut butter bars .
