- The Snickers candy bar, introduced by Mars, Inc. in 1930, has become a beloved staple in the confectionery world. Named after the Mars family's favorite horse, Snickers combines nougat, caramel, and peanuts, all enrobed in milk chocolate, creating a unique and satisfying taste. This iconic chocolate bar has evolved through various marketing campaigns, such as the famous "You're Not You When You're Hungry" slogan, cementing its place in pop culture. Snickers continues to dominate the global candy market, known for its rich history and irresistible flavor.

It's so bold when you see them in a vending machine and it says "satisfies" instead of Snickers like how wild is that to take the product name off and put a subliminal word there instead
Bring back the full size peanuts!
did they use to have
I love Snickers. It’s my favorite candy bar.
Yesss, my all time favorite candy bar. Thank you for this instant classic Ryan
This is the only Chocolate bar my Dad actively buys every fortnight (and during my childhood). He buys the mini bars party pack, the ones that had like 12 mini bars in a bag. Has one every day or every two days.
They always had the best ads. Some people are just too soft
As a Pennsylvanian. LAN-Caster will never make me not cringe a little when I hear it 😂
LANK-ister
Wanted to learn about the history of Snickers,got the history of chocolate
Yet another great video. Keep them bangers comin'!
Robert Williams? How dare you.
Yeah, I caught that. 😂😂😂
5:17 "The ORGANS of nougat"
"Caramelo And Bacon"...now why aren't they selling those here in the U.S.?
Snickers are my favorite then reeses cups
Same here 👍🏽😎👍🏽
Cool doc!
I was interested to see this episode pop up while I was still at work. I have been really enjoying your channel overall. Watching this episode now and hoping/excited to see your home made take on the snickers!
It's a real shame Hershey's chocolate tastes so fake now. They've replaced everything with chemicals and ruined the product. But hey, the CEO gets his yearly bonus and the shareholders get their dividends so it's all good.
The best candy bar ever. IMO. 🙂
11:20 Actually, I remember the American version of the Marathon bar. It was fairly simple: loosely braided ropes of caramel dipped in chocolate.
It looked huge, but a lot of it was empty space ( _loosely_ braided, remember). But it was a fairly chewy kind of caramel, so it did take a little time to eat.
Those are called “Curly Wurly” in the U.K.
Biscuits are cookies, sweaters are jumpers, hoods are bonnets. UK & US "separated by a common language." 😅
The only thing I don't like about the "fun size" bars is that they don't have a fun-sized price!
Still the most all-around satisfying candy bar, despite becoming increasingly smaller and more expensive (as is everything else). 50 years ago a Snickers bar cost 15 cents, and 10 cents only a few years earlier.
I remember!
and 5 cents a few years earlier
That 5¢ in the thumbnail price at the begining of the 80s, they still only cost 4p/5p at most in the UK, which was around 8¢/10¢ (they were called 'marathon' in the UK then but changed to snickers in 1990) and only a few years before that in the 70s, they were still only the the equivalent of around 4 or 5 cents.
Also you are wrong, milk chocolate wasn't oerfected by Hershey, as that stuff tastes disgusting. Infact all American made chocolate does because of it's ingredients containing both paraffin and Butyric acid being added to it. Butyric acid is a compound found in many things, but one of those is vomit. Giving American chocolate a taste of vomit.
Many Americans who move abroad, then return to America have stated after their return they can now taste the vomit taste in the chocolate after being abroad and getting used to other chocolate while away. I'm not sure why they add Butyric acid, but the paraffin is for shelf stabilisation so it doesn't melt on the store shelves. I think I read that Butyric acid gives it a longer shelf life, but I may be wrong on that. I'd rather have less shelf life and non vomit tasting chocolate thank you all the same.
Twisted history.
im gunna have to look up these mr bean ads. dudes a genius physical comedian
Snickers then 5 cents now 2 dollars
@@LindaMerchant-bq2hp are they genuinely $2 in the US? I'm assuming your in the US, but it could be Canada, Australia etc. in the UK you can get the standard snickers for between 40p-80p which is around 55¢-95¢. You can also get a multi pack with 3 or 4 full size snickers for £1-£1.25 so around $1.25-$1.45 (these are roughly converted prices but you get the idea) even a king-size snickers can sometimes be bought for you 80¢ - $1.25 here. I think £1.25 is the normal price for king-size snickers. A big bag of fun size snickers might cost around $2 dollars with around 25 fun size bars. The larger fun size bags around Halloween and Christmas are around $3. Saying that, in the thumbnail for this video it shows a 1930s snickers for 5¢ in the US, but even in the 70s and early 80s, snickers (and mist other standard chocolate candy bars) were still only around 5¢ - 8¢ using today's conversion rates, rising to around 25¢ by the end of the 80s/early 90s, and remained around that price until the early 2000s. (The actual conversion rate at the time in the 80s and 90s was £1=$2, so using those conversion rates, you just had to have whatever the US $ price was to convert it to UK £ you just have the dollar amount and you get the actual price for those days) snickers are nice but not as nice as they used to be. I make a homemade one that is far superior to real thing. Also one good thing is UK chocolate doesn't taste of vomit like American chocolate does because of the component of vomit (butyric acid) acid that's added to it, along with the fact American chocolate can be 20% - 50% paraffin wax aswell for shelf stability. We don't have any of that. Americans don't taste the vomit because they have grown up with it so don't notice, but if you look on RUclips, there are videos of Americans who have been living abroad, and after some years, they keep getting tike American chocolate tastes of vomit, they then try American chocolate again, and most of them can taste it in the chocolate now after years of getting used to the non vomit chocolate in the country they are in. You would think adding paraffin would mean cheaper chocolate as paraffin costs very little and I suspect the real reason it's added in large quantities is to bulk out the chocolate, rather than shelf stabilisation in hot weather. We get very hit summer's, we are going through one at the minute, and the chocolate doesn't melt, at mist it becomes a little soft, but 5 minutes in the fridge or freezer sorts that out. I like the old American snickers before they started using crushed peanuts, I hate Hershey's because if the vomit taste. I like Reese's pieces and Reese's reasons, but I think the ones I get are the UK versions. Also they do a giant bar but I forget the name but it's Reese's, and it's like a snickers took steroids. Very nice but can't finish a whole one in one sitting, and I know that they are expensive in the US because in the UK we can get them in offer at 2 for $1 after conversion. I also don't undethow things like mike and ikes can be cheaper here after being transported here from the US. If anything you would think the transport costs would double the price, but you can get the big carton of mike and ikes for around $1 - $1.50. I knew most food in the UK is cheaper compared to the US, but I didn't realise that applied to chocolate too. I thought chocolate was around the same price in both countries.
Ive seen the same candy bar snickers with different names on them like satisfies
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.
Logically, finding the right demographic to offend will make more money. Luckily, I'm too lazy to be offended by anything. That said, I like your video and hope to see more stuff like this. Thanks.
good video
I’m a bit of a candy bar maverick. I would take a fun size Snicker bar and a fun size Baby Ruth bar and eat them at the same time. You have not lived until trying this. Go out and buy a bag of each of these. Eat them immediately and then go out and walk 5 miles, because you will have to.
It is curious that in 1900 candy bar was 5 cents yet 60 years later in 1963 candy bars were 5 cents. Pack of cigarets was 5 cents in WW2.
The funny thing about Snickers is that I don't remember seeing them in the 60s. During the 60s, I was living in a place where you could buy American candy only on base in the PX. Maybe the PX wasn't bringing them in, I never saw a Snickers Bar until I move to Hawaii in 1972.
They used corn syrup way back when? I think they use real sugar.
Its Marathon !
Robert Williams??? Eat a Snickers, you're not you when you're hungry
Modern sugar heavy carbohydrates laden bars have palm oils and some other additives which are not good for health
They'll always be Marathon bars to me.
The first ever chocolate bar was made in the UK by Joseph Fry 1847.
Hershey created one of the infamous “company towns.”
For some reason in the UK they were known as Marathon bars for some time.Delicious by any name.
Sure am glad they changed from that pictured in the thumbnail, that looks like a bar of soap that makes you smell and makes others "Snicker"😜
Haven't had one since i went vegan over 20 yrs ago, but i'll never forget. They used to be my mom's favorite. We loved them too, but we'd save most of our snickers from Halloween for Ma. ❤
I think you can recreate Snickers in a vegan version!
@@dinekevinke2268 i could try!! 😁
Rat poison is a traditional ingredient in Australian confectionery
Yep, Peanuts originated in the new world.
Aztecs called them Tlālcacahuatl and the Spaniards would later mispronounce the word to what is today referred to as Cacahuate. Aztecs utilized peanuts to make foods such as peanut butter. I'm surprised the indigenous peoples didn't put chocolate and peanut butter together....who knows. 🤔
Who's in charge of ads for snickers, get anyone else, it's almost like their undermining their own business, just show the basics, a good snack. Talk about shooting yourself in the foot over and over for decades.
its illegal for regular citizens to grow peanuts in the US
It will always be Marathon to me.
For in between hunger I have created healthy clean nutritious and yummmy very important aspect of foods for all palates bars , it will find its place precisely for these “ you are not you when hungry’
How they keep raising the price and making the product smaller
Snickers is probably the best amongst the worst. The peanuts add protein maybe and the fats and calories are helpful turns out
Named after the family horse.
Why were they called marathon in the UK?
Then they changed it's name to Snickers......what a horrible name.
Bring back marathon!
I hate how making an offensive tone deaf commercial, getting called out on it, and then pulling it and saying "Oh did I do that?" is a legit marketing strategy that has worked for snickers.
same
🤔 ... 😳 Oh! The *MARATHON* bar. ... Silly Americans, rebranding things 😤
8:35 seinfeld reference?
The organs of nougat?
Carmel is a city in California. Caramel is a component of a candy bar. Learn how to pronounce things, it hurts the ears.
Why was sugar complex during the depression?
I like how they experimented with smaller bar sizes in the great depression, launching junior bars just 40 years later. Seems like a leap dude. Also mars has a bar of nougat caramel and chocolate. But got to the snickers not by adding peanuts to a milkyway. But by adding chocolate to a caramel nougat and peanut bar they didn't manufacture. Really?
Use to be good back in the days 🤗 now😮💨
FFS man, clicked on the story of snickers not the story of every ingredient inside of a snickers. Why not cover atoms while we're at it? Ingredients are made of those.
With the constant barrage of advertising we're all subjected to on a daily basis, any company pushing the envelope to try to make their ads memorable can inadvertently offend some group or another at some point. But when a company offends the same group over and over again, one has to wonder what's going on in the boardroom.
People pretty much became offended at everything. While some things may be obvious and over the top, many other times they were subtle but people still got offended. That means certain stereotypes are pretty much true if they got offended at a subtle joke.
@@Epic_CLet's face it.
Some people just enjoy being offended. "Victim virtue."
That is the truth its as though they leave the house each day saying " Who can I accuse of offending me today?" And these same individuals also offend others too in one way or another. We all have because absolutely no one is perfect in their words or behavior no matter who they are.
I am sorry but Lindt and Hersheys can not compare in quality! Lindt is far more superior !
who compared them? 🤔
Protip: The 't' in 'nougat' isn't voiced ... /ˈnuːɡɑː/
I’ve always said nugget and I’m not going to change now.
Why can’t Americans say the word caramel ? CAR-A-MEL not CARMEL !
I was a kid in the 60s. I know what you are saying is not true.
Hershey's chocolate tastes like vomit.
Whats Mars got against gay folks sheesh
A really bad history of chocolate. Mostly correct, some misinformation but so incomplete it's misleading.
Yeah, I don’t like them
Thanks for the videos, I find them interesting😊 one good question, like the Mars Chocolate Company, Coca-Cola, pepsi-cola, Kellogg's,etc like other big companies, other countries like England ,Australian, Europe who make Mars chocolates and Kellogg, I'm not sure, make it in their own country are they franchise factories Productions, or are they owned by the companies America or can you do a video about it pleased to explain, thanks keep up the good working doing😊
It just occured to me what snickers means. It makes sense it wasn't called that in the UK originally as we don't use the word snicker. We use the word snigger. So be thankful Americans you could all be eating delicious Sniggers bars.
what? why would they change the name in America?
The only difference is +/- voice of the medial consonant, but it still matters, apparently.
