Fans of the nutty chocolate bar were shocked to find out where the name came from
Snickers have been around for decades - and remain just as popular today as they were back in the 1960s. But the timeless chocolate bar was initially known under a different name - Marathon.
But many Snickers fans - even some of those who have been fans of the snack for years - aren't aware how the iconic caramel and peanut treat got its unique name. It's believed the unusual name can be traced right back to the co-founder of the Mar-o-Bar Company, now known as the Mars Company.Legend has it that Ethel Mars' pet horse, Snickers, died just before the then-nameless chocolate bar went into production.
The origin of the chocolate snack's name has circulated on social media, with some even claiming the sad story of Ethel Mars and her horse Snickers has 'ruined their childhood'. One person wrote: "I think you've just ruined everyone's childhood," while another said: "Very interesting, thank you. Love history!"
