Rename the "Snickers" bar back to "Marathon" after Brexit.

Rejected 18 signatures

What the petition asks

Whilst the uncertainties around the real effects of Brexit are not known, such as the possibility of delays at the borders, job losses, and the potential for inadequate supplies of medicines leading to people dying, it seems we are missing the chance to voice some of the great things about Brexit.
After taking back control, we will finally have the chance to revert the criminal decision made by Mars in 1990 to change "Marathon" to "Snickers" just so it could, "align it with the rest of the world."

Why it was rejected

It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.
