"Topic graveyard"?
This is NOT the Suggestions forum!
People bury Topics?
You eat them. You excitedly tear open that wrapper and stuff it in your mouth.

This may come as a shock, but people also run Marathons and research Mars!
Every time I hear this name I wince, for what was lost.
I mean, Snickers? What the hell is that?
It's like a Milky Way, but with peanuts too.
Better than a Milky Way.
Its original and true UK name, Marathon, evoked a sense of immense masculine energy as you even glanced at it in the shop. Once you ate one, you became the sigma chad like mushrooms are for Mario. You powered up, things impossible became possible. Maths homework so hard Einstein would refuse to do became easy. Gaming reflexes went from sloth to panther like. You saw the spaces between raindrops as peanut, chocolate, caramel and nougat took you beyond the limits of human existence and perception.
I can remember the dark, dark day when cheerful adverts informed me that Marathon, Official Snack Food of Olympus, was going to be renamed 'Snickers'. Looks of envy changed to 'that Lion Bar looks good' or 'I'll have a Star Bar', rather than pick a 'Snickers' in the shop. Those who bought Snickers became outcasts, with even the shopkeepers viewing Snickers eaters as.....lesser beings, traitors to a once mighty bar.
Its better than a Lion Bar, but below a Star Bar.Better than a Milky Way.
Whoever invented peanuts should get a Nobel Prize in Chemistry or Literature.

Sounds like a great material for a movie, nay, a 14-season series!

It needs refactoring se Helldiver2 for getting to action fast. they coul dlink up lanet coaster and zoo!
I'd like to say that this seems a tab hyperbolic. Except. Everything you say is, now I think of it, entirely true.
Thank goodness that there are still curly-wurlys in the world!
I was going to get worked up about the Jif -> Cif rebranding too, but it's vile on toast, so who cares!

It was a dark time. I was reeling that Opal Fruits was renamed Starburst and that Pacers stopped being made, but....the Snickers thing is a day of infamy.
...at least we still have meat pies. Just like grandma made....
...and red liquorice bootlaces!
If it had been a good day, a 10p mix up bag with fizzy saucers, cola bottles and such.
