There’s a reason Snickers are called Snickers, and it’s not what you think at allBy Joshua Lynch

So that’s why they call it Snickers.
The average person probably has no clue how the renowned Snickers candy bar got it’s name and where it came from.
Under the eminent candy brand Mars Inc., the Snickers moniker actually traces back to a horse belonging to the founders of the company Ethel and Frank Mars, according to The Sun.
The couple invested in some land and bought a 3,000-acre horse breeding farm after notching their successful Mar-o-Bar company that created the famed Milky Way Bar.
At the time, the couple had been planning to create a new candy bar and put it in production as a nameless bar — that is, until one of their favorite horses named Snickers died.
So, to honor the horse, Ethel and Frank gave the “no-name” bar the name Snickers.
