Snickers have always been Snickers, at least over here. It was the name of the Mars Family horse, or pony.

Ah. Interesting, I always thought it was a singularly crap name for a choccie bar. Fine for an M&M type sweet...kind of rattly in the box stylie...but just totally wrong for a bar.

A friend of mine used to tell a long and tortuous joke whose punchline was
"Hans that does dishes can be soft as Gervais, with mild green hairy lip squid".
It was set in a kitchen and involved two foreign chefs, a cleaver and a mustachio'd cephalopod, and you really don't want to hear it.

It's one the only jokes I ever remember.

"For mash get Smash."

A few years ago I saw a tv programme that featured that line, and the four - count 'em - four, notes that accompanied it.

The line came first. Then the ad man who came up with it went to 'the go-to guy' for jingles at the time, and had a chat with him about it. The bloke moved over to his keyboard, and said: 'What, you mean something like...' and played the four notes. And the ad man said 'That's it!' And jingle man said, 'No, I just meant, for example, that might be one way you mi'...the adman cut him off: 'No! That's it. Write it down.' And he did. Job done. Nice work if you can get it, eh?
