DON'T MAKE ME CHOOSE!!!

[Mike]

You can have the Mars one then.

[David Meadows]

I vote Cadbury. Mars bars aren't treats, they're more like staple food, so it's more exciting to get a Cadbury's box in your stocking

[Paul F]

I've been off chocolate for nearly a year, but definitely the Cadbury's one.

[Nicholas Taggart]

It is tough because I like everything in the Cadbury one but the things I like in the Mars one I like better than anything in the Cadbury one. Yet it also has a Snickers bar and I don't eat Snickers,

[craggy]

see I got a couple of the Cadbury ones at Christmas, so the Mars one would be a change. Had I got that, I'd probably still have some of it though. Think there's half a box of the Mars mini sweets sitting around somewhere, unless I just threw them out.

The brown man with a turban on the Mars box told me to vote for him.

Snickers is my favorite one.

I can't ever eat it though or I'll be hooked again. Chocolate addiction. I has it.

It might influence people's votes to know that you get awesome games on the back of Cadbury selection boxes. This year's game involved building chimneys for santa to send presents down. It was tricky cutting all the pieces out so I could play it, but luckily I had the assistance of a grown up.

Wispa? Curly Wurly? Crunchie?

Cadburys all the way, baby!

[Mike]

They'll always be Marathons to me.

[garjones]

They changed the name!?

[brucegray666]

So I've picked the Cadbury box but want some Malteasers. I'll swap the Fudge and the Dairy Milk for them. Any takers?

[garjones]

I'd take that deal, it's on.

Did you not know that?

Was is really that long ago?

[Todd Gross]

Cadbury seems like it would be the better quality one to me.

I was actually channeling my inner Meadows with that comment, it was 1990, so 22 years ago when they changed the name. I remember when cable TV started in the mid 80s and they had Europe-wide channels and they used to have ads for Snickers when it was still called Marathon in the UK, I think a Twix was called Raider.

Anyway the name has been semi-revived it seems: http://www.marathonbars.com/

Apparently Snickers wasn't used in the UK because it sounded too much like knickers but that could be cobblers I've half remembered.

DONE!

(Ha, you have totally been "done", I'd have more than happily thrown the Chop in too if you'd haggled a bit more).
