AIBU to think that Snickers need to be called out on "labels"

I was so shocked to see a Snickers bar labelled "BROKEN". The advert around it is there is a bar for everyone! How do they "Mars" think it's okay to label bars in this vile fashion! What is the advertising agency doing to address this! This only serves to further distort young people's (future leaders) views of themselves! This has to stop!

Marathon
Opal Fruits
Oil of Ulay

Why can't they leave things along? And why don't they the make Banjo bars, Super Mousse, McCowan liquorice chews and Mint Cracknell any more?

All that renaming stuff is Americanism.

I remember when they did an ice Opal Fruits thing. It was orange sorbet surrounded by orange ice. Bloody gorgeous. They shouldn't have stopped making them.

Peanut Banjo. Lovely.

I need one that says "Precious Snowflake" and if Snickers won't make one specially for me I shall stamp my feet and sulk.

I get why they change the names but just wish they wouldn't. Coconut Banjos too...

Wikipedia tells me that they were (re) discontinued about 35 years ago, that's a long time to miss a chocolate bar Grin

I still remember them fondly.

Secret bars. Used to get them in our school vending machine. Kind of marshmallowy stuff inside a chocolate cage thing. Bloody lovely.

I'm depressed at moment and have felt broken from time to time, but a chocolate bar isn't going to offend me in fact could murder a snickers right now.
