I felt this was in very poor taste (no pun intended). We are in the midst of a pre-emptive, uncalled for war. Coming on with a tank and aiming at a human being is not clever or cute in my opinion. What are we telling our young children. I will certainly think twice before buying a Snickers candy bar!!!!

"QUALITY IS LONG REMEMBERED AFTER PRICE IS LONG FORGOTTEN" Old Scottish Saying

Indeed Snickers is the #1 Candy Bar In The World, delivering hydrogenated oils, trans fats, & High Fructose Corn Syrup, in addition to sugar laden milk chocolate...

One might argue TASTE WINS & the sales PROVE IT.

Well, not really.

All natural & functional energy/diet bars have managed to take between 4 & 5 Billion Dollars in combined market-share away, in the past 15 years, from not only refined sugar laden/nutritionally dumb downed breakfast cereal, or fat laden granola bars, but as of 2 years ago, better for you functional bar brands have actually ERRODED candy bar sales!

As much as I love the Bombastic Mr. T, the real A-Team product out there now is Dr. Mercola's Cocoa Cassava Bars, which are: REALLY DELICIOUS & VERY NUTRITIOUS! (TM)!!

A bit of candy bar history for all your neophytes or Jeopardy trivia question champions (& no you don't have to provided an answer in the form of a question - I have imagined Merv Griffin only being addressed in all his conversations in the form of reply questions, but lest I really digress from the subject)...

What were the Number ONE & Number TWO best selling candy bars in America, in the early 1970's?

Answer: Peter Paul Mounds & Almond Joy

So What Happened? PP thought they could bamboozle the taste buds of their consumers with compound coating instead of real chocolate, along with switching from better tasting cane sugar to HFCS.
Consumers noticed the difference & never went back.

The rest, as they say, is: H I S T O R Y...

Hence, the rise of other brands like Snickers, Reese's, etc., until the late 1980's, when functional energy bars delivered better nutrition & true kinesiological energy/satiety.

Cocoa Cassava is YOUR best option!
