[SOC] Mars Update

[Paul Bartlett]

Hmmm,

Well in the UK we have both Mars bars and Milky Ways. Both are pleasant
confections. The Moon Pie sounds suspiciously like what we call "Wagon
Wheels".

We also have what used to be called Marathon; essentially a Mars bar with
peanuts. The corporate make-over eejits decided to rename it Snickers in the
name of worldwide brand conformity.
