Mars Brings Back A Retro Fan Favourite - The Marathon Bar

Confectionary brand Mars Wrigley UK has brought back a retro chocolate bar that hasn't been seen on the shelves for 34 years - the Marathon Bar, but for a limited time only.

The bar will exclusively be available at Morrisons stores until before Christmas. The Marathon Bar may not have been available for a few decades now but it's successor is a well known bar we enjoy today - Snickers. But the temporary throwback is part of Mars Wrigley's celebration of more than 90 years of chocolate manufacturing in the UK.

Senior Brand Manager at Mars Wrigley, Steve Waters said: “We're excited to bring back the Marathon bar branding for a limited period. It's a great way to celebrate over 90 years of Mars making chocolate in the UK. We hope fans of Snickers, who remember when it was called Marathon, will enjoy picking it up in store."
