Snickers
I'm not that old (33), but I still call them Marathon bars. To me, 'Snickers' just sounds too European and horrible. It's almost as if you can't say 'Snickers' without some kind of French accent.

Marathon.

That's because they are Marathon bars.
The manufacturer's changing the name doesn't change that fact.

I am with you on this one, totally.
Although it does mean when people ask you to sponsor them for a marathon, you can point out they are not called that anymore, therefore you can't give them any money unless they ask you to sponsor them for a snicker, and change all the paperwork too.

Jif
If I go into a supermarket and ask for some Jif and them am told that actually it's Cif now, does that also mark me out as being a dickhead?

Well fuck it, if it's not called Jif any more I'll just have to make do with Cillit Bang.
