Snickers, not Knickers

Who doesn't like a Snickers bar?  Everybody likes Snickers,especially here in the US, but when it came time to startexporting the candy bar overseas the company decided thename wasn't going to be a good fit in the United Kingdom.
Their concern was that the word Snickers sounds a lotlike knickers, which is British slang for underwear,so for the first 60 years of its life the snackwas called a Marathon bar in jolly olde England.
