Best Answer

Sinckers was only known as Marathon in the United Kingdom and Ireland. This changed in 1990 when the Mars Company decided to standardize all of its products under common global names.

As far as I know, it was only called Marathon in the UK & Ireland, rest of the world knew it as Snickers, and Mars company just wanted to standardise their brand names.
