Mars Bar = Name Has Changed!


Recommended Posts

My Brother works in a supermarket and received some supplementary products. According to his information, it cost Mars bar 9 Billion! to change their name.

Old Name: Mars Bar

New Name: Believe

Crap ain't it, but I am holding one right now in my right-hand! (we have 5 more over here). The product will be publically released 1st May, and you received this amazing and brilliant information from the one and only...me :D

P.S.

The wrapper has an address (http://www.marsbelieve.com) for verification that I'm telling the truth.

9 Billion???? good god, all they had to do was introduce the logo change into the production line and change it in upcoming marketing campaigns... sounds to me like they are trying to use it as an excuse to write off some extraneous funds.

PHEW!!!!!

its just for the world cup, afterwards tis back to mars

Thank's! I'm relieved!

Mars is my favourite chocolate bar. Heck, other than the Cadbury Mini Eggs, it's the only chocolate I eat :s.

there is no way it cost them 9 billion to change the name...the mars bar isn't even that popular and that's not very cost effecient. There is no company in the world that would change the name of a friggin candy bar for 9 billion dollars.

That is funniest thing I've heard all day.

Also so what if they changed the name of a candy bar. maybe the three or four people who've bought a mars bar in the past 3 years might care. it's not like it's a snickers or pepsi changing their name to concoction

The mars bar is very popular, at least here it is. Its my favourite bar, thankfully this name change is only temporary...phew! :D kinda stupid name for the World Cup though....and England will still do sh?te regardless :laugh::

I kid, I kid...they'll do alright as they usually do I'm sure.

but what's the point? i don't see how it will rally fans even more and i don't think even this could inspire an england world cup win. this could really backfire if england do really badly which could be a possibility if england use the 'win one match and draw the rest to get through' tactic.

You simply have no idea.

The vast majority of the cost is spent on making people aware of the name change, a process that will take some time before they actually go ahead with the change. During this time, expect to be spammed with all sorts of advertising for this name change. And then of course they have to change it back again.

    • Close, but it is for any application starting, not just during boot time. In fact, it probably will not improve boot time at all because during a boot, the CPU is already boosting, so a pre-boost wouldn't change anything. I agree that it isn't exciting (especially considering every other OS already does it), but it is a good thing, even if they are just playing catch up.
    • Any so called performance increase will be in milliseconds, which nobody will actually notice in real world usage.
    • All it does is use the CPU more efficiently during boot to speed up boot times. That's it. Yawn....
    • It's not a one or the other kind of thing. Software should run efficiently, and the operating system should appropriately manage the CPU clocks. You could have the best most optimized software on earth, and it will still run faster if the CPU does a better job of boosting as needed. All this is doing is pre-boosting the CPU based on user actions, instead of waiting for the normal detection mechanism to kick in. If the OS knows it is about to need more CPU, why shouldn't it use that knowledge? It's the same idea of downshifting before passing someone, instead of just burying your foot into the peddle and waiting for the transmission to figure out what you want to do.
