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.

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.

      As much as I love owning my own hardware, it's hard to argue with the value. I'm not a huge gamer, I'd actually be interested in a cheaper plan with limited monthly hours, or even a pay-by-the-hour plan.
    • Euro-Office must default to ODF to be considered "genuinely European", LibreOffice argues

      By leonsk29 · Posted

      Well, they (LibreOffice/The Document Foundation) are bitchy and whiny, yes, but they're right, at least this time. It doesn't make sense to market something as "free and open source to thwart dependency on foreign companies' software" but at the same time, using the format of said companies (Microsoft) by default. That way, you are changing nothing, essentially, you're just using another UI. I'm not saying they should drop other formats altogether, but they shouldn't default to the thing they're trying to run away from in the first place. If you're gonna do something, just go all the way in, don't stop in the middle, IMO.

    • Popular Windows 11 file manager Files gets improved tags, layouts, and new OneDrive icon

      By sphbecker · Posted

      I'm surprised they haven't found a way to fix that. As much as I don't like software wasting memory, a file manager is the kind of thing that makes sense to keep running in active memory for super-fast recall. I suspect that is why MS makes their File Explorer part of the main explorer.exe shell, so that it is guaranteed to always be running.
