What's in a name? Would a Mars bar, by any other name, smell as sweet?


 Oldspice! I can't believe you fell victim to one of the most common misquotes of Shakespeare!

Who needs karma when you know you're great already?

Victim? How so?


When did Shakespeare ever eat a Mars bar?

I doubt he did, but he also said a rose by any other WORD would smell as sweet.


Sorry, I went a bit Bounty there didn't I?

Surely you recall this passage from the Tempest:


'Tis with a little ire and most sullen mood that I thrust thee and thy Mars bars assunder.  Take ye away and never return with such rotten plunder'

WHat's in a word? Is a name, by any other label, not still a word?


Oh irritating world that has such pedants in it!

Poor old Mars Marketer - he comes here for a bit of advice, and ends up with a debate on Shakespeare!  I hope he finds something useful amongst it all!

Quote from: Freddie

the title says....Mars rebranding to Venus


would this mean that infact it wouldn't be a Mars Bar but a Venus Bar made by Mars..



I think it means it would be a Mars Bar variation, sold under a different name. It was actually done temporarily last year for the World Cup, when Mars was sold as Believe.

It would stiil be a Mars bar but the filling would just be a pink colour nougat. I will keep it the normal milk chocolate. So it would still techically be a Mars Bar.

Well MarsMarketer, I think you have done a terrific job so far and I would give you full marks for originality, for linking the product so well to a national cause and for thinking of a name that makes some reference to the original product. Go for your pink nougat and milk chocolate.


Good luck
