What gets your vote?

Mine goes to Cesar - the dog food formally known as Mr Dog. Mr Dog was the perfect name; simple, and it summed up the brand perfectly in my opinion. Where the hell did they get Cesar from?

I'd have to choose "Snickers". It's not exactly a frequently used word in this country, is it? Not like good old "Marathon".
And I've just found this on the web:

So it seems that now they've brought out a US version which IS called Marathon!! I am CONFUSED!

Got to be Cif.
What the hell is Cif supposed to mean?
Perhaps Jif is an obscenity in Turkish or something, I am told Reebok is!

OK, before anyone tells me, I should have read all previous Cif/Jif posts first.
My excuse, too much ovies.

Kool, those Marathon bars aren't really Marathon bars - and it's also been discussed to death elsewhere

Also, Marathons in the USA are our Curly Wurlies.

So there you go.

(And I was only casting my vote. He didn't say you couldn't vote for something that was mentioned elsewhere

).
