Retro chocolate bar lovers rejoice, Marathon bars are coming back
There was a beautiful time in the world, when Wham! were still making music, 99s still cost 99p, and you could leave your back door unlocked with no fear.
That all ended the day that Marathon was renamed Snickers in 1990, and it appears things have simply gotten darker and darker ever since.
Mars are trying to counteract this darkness, however, by bringing back the Marathon name for a short period of time.
The retro bars will be available in Morrisons stores for 12 weeks ( starting from September 9) before it goes back to Snickers.
Four will cost £1, and at 25p per bar thats actually some pretty retro pricing too. That said, Mars havent confirmed what the price of the single Marathons will be.

Although its still going to be the exact same recipe as the Snickers we know and love, its always nice to hark back to a simpler time.
This is one blast from the past that people have been somewhat obsessed with since the rumour mill began turning on the topic. Back in 2006 – when Mars re-registered the Marathon name – it was widely discussed.
Just as Mars rebranded Starburst as Opal Fruits as a limited edition, fans were sure that the humble Marathon was coming back. However, it wasnt to be.
Well, speculate no more chocolate lovers, for the gods have smiled on you. Get yours from Monday 9 September.
