    The picture of the Marathon bar with the cowboy is not a Snickers. The Marathon bar in the US was a thin braided caramel rope covered in chocolate. It had a ruler in the wrapper to show how much longer it was that others. Of course it was very flat and probably actually less candy than the rest. It was only around a few years in the 1970s. One of my favorites as a kid. They still make them in Europe as the Cadbury Curly Wurly.
