Do you know what the most popular candy bar in the US is?
It's Snickers!
Here are some Fun Facts about the Snickers candy bar:
- Snickers was born in 1930
- It was named after the Mars family's favorite horse
- Snickers was first sold for a nickel
- Today, Snickers has approximately $2 billion in globals sales each year
- Snickers was originally called Marathon in the UK and Ireland
Facing the Facts:
1 Snickers Bar = 280 calories
Total fat = 14 Gm
Sodium = 140 mg
Sugars = 30 Gm
Protein = 4 Gm
Yikes!!!
30 grams of sugar = about 2 tablespoons
1 regular Snickers bar equals roughly:
- 2 medium baked potatoes
- 3 1/2 hard boiled eggs
- 4 medium apples
- 5 cups of chopped carrots
- 6 cups whole strawberries
Now, I’m more of a Twix or Kit Kat kind of gal, but if Snickers is what gives you satisfaction, I won’t hold it against you.
