"Fun size equals smaller" said no-one ever.

Well, it depends where you want to stick it, doesn't it?

I think I've finally fully mourned the loss of the 'Marathon' name to the clearly inferior 'Snickers' - bring 'em back at the size Marathons bars were, that'd be a thing!

Yes, July the 19th was a sad day

In the US, the Marathon branding was used for a 12” long caramel braid covered in chocolate. The marketing was that it was so big, it would take a long time and a lot of effort to finish (like running a marathon). If I recall correctly, the packaging even had a ruler printed on the back of the wrapper.

Less serious posts should go in [email protected] or [email protected]
More serious politics should go in [email protected].

Try not to spam the same link to multiple feddit.uk communities.
Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.

Posts should be related to UK-centric news, and should be either a link to a reputable source, or a text post on this community.

Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.

If you think "reputable news source" needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread.

Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.

Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.
