Ah! Aldi's Snickers bar

I preferred Marathon

Snickers is a ridiculous name, they should have stuck to Marathon!

Call them what you like they all look pretty good to me

 

[raleighnut]

Yeah but how many people who buy these really use them for racing? It's all just manipulative marketing and gives a distorted view of the norms and possibilities of stuffing yourself with confectionary in modern Britain.

 

[woodbutcher]

And when you say Aldi's Snickers aloud it sounds like "oldie's knickers" ....not so appealing

I always have a pack of those in my bag on longer rides. Better than Snickers in my opinion, nice and salty.

Agreed... but what i can't fathom is Aldi's Jive bar. I can see the connection between a Marathon and a Racer, and the Mars Bar and Titan, but Twix and Jive?

I saw 3 different bottles of wine with cycles on the labels at my supermarket. Is this also manipulative marketing and if so who is it aimed at, do you think_

The important question is: would they fit in your bottle cage?

You must be a Geordie then? It doesn't work with an Ayrshire accent .

Not quite as far north as Northumberland but definitely East coast and with a "hard A" accent.

Only if its the right bottle cage!
