Marathon Retro Edition Snickers (Morrisons) By @Cinabar

We’ve been re-watching some classic comedy shows from the 1980s and 1990s, most recently Friends. So, as you can imagine, I’m fully in the right headspace for this delightful blast from the past: Marathon Retro Edition Snickers. Like Opal Fruits, there will always be a part of my brain that refers to classic confectionery by its original name, no matter what the packaging says now.

The retro packaging made me smile and transported me straight back to my childhood. Yes, it’s essentially a Snickers, but trust me, it tastes better (even if only in my head) when it’s called Marathon. Just look at that cute packaging:

I gave it a try, and okay, it’s a Snickers; chocolate, nougat, and nuts, a winning combination as always. But I bought these for the nostalgia, and on that front, they absolutely delivered.

They’ve re-released these before, and I know I’ll pick up another pack when they return in a year or so. I can’t help it, they just make me smile.

One final note: I bought this multipack from Morrisons for £1.95. Please don’t spend a fortune on them through eBay or similar sites, they’re in the shops right now at a reasonable price!
