The bar was marketed under the name "Marathon" in the UK and Ireland until 1990, when Mars decided to align the UK product with the global Snickers name (Mars had marketed and discontinued an unrelated bar named Marathon in the United States during the 1970s which was similar to the UK's [[Curly Wurly]]). A Marathon retro edition was sold exclusively at the UK [[Morrisons]] supermarket for three months in 2019.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-news/snickers-marathon-chocolate-bars-morrisons-a9105926.html|title=Snickers bars to be called Marathon again after nearly 30 years|date=September 15, 2019|website=The Independent|location=London|access-date=April 19, 2022}}</ref>
