Made with a
nougat base, topped with
peanuts and
caramel, and surrounded by
milk
chocolate, the Snickers candy bar has become the
most popular chocolate bar in
the world. In order to look at the history of Snickers candy bar, it's a good
idea to also take a quick look at the history behind the man and company that
invented it. The Mars family has always taken a very private stance on their
family, so pictures are not easily found of Frank Mars or other family members.
What we do know about this confectionary giant is that Franklin Clarence Mars
was born in Minnesota on September 24, 1883. At an early age, he helped his
mother make candy in their home kitchen. After high school, Frank began selling
candy and later started various businesses. In 1911, Frank and his wife were
producing candy out of their Tacoma, Washington kitchen. Later, in 1920, Frank
and his wife Ethel moved to Minnesota and started the Mar-O-Bar company.
By the end of the 1920's, the Mars family was very successful, and they were on
their way to becoming a world leader in chocolate snack bars. Can you imagine being the world leader in chocolate snack bars?! I can't. Snickers was
invented in 1930 and was a big hit. Over 80 years later, it continues to be a
big hit! In 1934, a few short years after he invented the Snickers bar, Frank
Mars died at the age of only 50. His legacy continues to live on in the
MILLIONS of Mars candy bars sold every day! The Snickers was formerly called
"Marathon" in the UK, but the name was changed to "Snickers" worldwide in 1990. Let me know if you like snickers as much as I do!

Very interesting how Snickers used to be called marathon because it would've been so weird to call it that.
Wow! I didn't even know who made the snickers bar! One thing I did know though was that it's the worlds most popular candy bar. You're writings are really long and give the message clearly, maybe with that, you would like my blog, I write stories http://www.shelbyswritings27.blogspot.com/ I think the post you would like the most of mine is Sweet Aromas.
