Snickers bars were introduced to the market in 1930 by the Mars Company and were named for a favorite horse of the Mars family, which started and continues to run the candy empire.

Some days even my lucky rocketship underpants won't help.


Bring me my Broadsword and a clear understanding.
Get up to the roundhouse on the cliff-top standing.
Take women and children and bed them down.
Bless with a hard heart those that stand with me.
Bless the women and children who firm our hands.
Put our backs to the north wind.
Hold fast by the river.
Sweet memories to drive us on,
for the motherland.

I'm just forever grateful that the candy was named after the whole horse.

Seems over the years the candy bar has gotten a bad reputation in swimming pools.

stay safe.

What with the diabeetus and old age, remembering what one candy bar looks like as opposed to another gets to be a challenge.

I have no memory of sweet, salty, or not-cardboard when it comes to what food tastes like.  Thank $diety that the memory of bacon lives forever.

stay safe.
