It's not like it means something naughty in another language. Maybe they couldn't copyright a generic word... but then Mars is OK. I dunno. I'm just rambling now.

# Ah
There's a different Marathon bar in the US, and Mars standardised the names internationally.

Boring but true.

# yes yes but...
They have a new one, a Snickers Marathon bar... it's more of an 'energy bar' -- not gross like a power bar, but not a hunk of granola either. I like them, second to Cliff bars.
