[kingrollo]

Tempus Fugit is wot you said I think. So not amazing really. Quite normal.

The Great North Half Snickers just doesn't have the same ring to it.

Nope still call it Topic

An absolute disgrace. Next thing you know they'll be making them smaller to save money, er, I,mean fight obesity, and changing the recipe to remove the arsenic and broken glass.

Nope still call it Topic

Um. Why?

 

[stephec]

Topic was a different bar, anyway back on topic (you see what I did there?) that means I've not like Snickers for longer than I've not liked marathons.

Horrible bar, what it is called is largely irrelevant.

I'm old enough to remember when a Marathon was a Leyland tractor unit.

Tempus Fugit

Snickers are delicious. Just the right amount of peanut flavour. I tried some of that "Reese's pieces" and it was peanut overload.

And made from foul American ‘chocolate’

Along with all the others...

I always thoughts Snickers was a really weird name. First off, it's plural - the bar is singular. But also, it sounds completely wrong - the word suggests little hard-coated sweets, like Smarties, rattling against each other. Perhaps the oddest-named of all confectioneries.
