I believe I will never again purchase the product formerly known as a Mars bar. Nor will I be buying any other product produced by the makers of the now called Believe bar. I believe all self respecting Celtic people should do the same.

Why have they changed the name??
They're not World Cup sponsors are they!
If so, don't blame you.

Nor will I be buying any other product produced by the makers of the now called Believe bar. Here's your list: Many of Mars' products are famous-name brands, including: Celebrations Dove Chocolate Galaxy Kudos Lockets M Azing Maltesers White Maltesers Mars M&M's Milky Way Snickers (The top-selling candy bar in the United States. Known in the UK as Marathon until 1990.) Three Musketeers Skittles Starburst (Originally Opal Fruits in the UK.) Twix Bounty Topic With annual sales (USD) of 18 Billion dollars in 2005, and still family owned after almost 100 years ... not sure you'd be missed all that much.

Maybe its because I work in marketing, but I quite like this. Its a great example of "guerilla" marketing - to use a wanky marketing phrase. Mars are not World Cup sponsors but are using their creativity to piggy-back on the World Cup and muscle in, without paying the millions/billions that other brands have done. I'd be pleased to have thought of it myself. OK - you won't please the Scots, but then if we all went round only doing things that pleased the Scots, we wouldn't do very much at all now, would we.... ?

Oh I dunno, seems fitting that we take the english 'Belief', dip it in batter and then chuck it in boiling hot fat...

c'mon Gander. We all know that secretly you will be supporting England, even if it is only a little bit. I can provide "I'm not a believer" placards and banners. If you want I can provide the authentic England fans kit designed to get you in the mood. INCL: St Georges cross flag for your car, St Georges cross flag to drape round your shoulders (or Union Jack flag, doesn't really matter does it as it is all England; isn't it?), crate of Stella (to drink before breakfast), and a copy of Footballs coming Home, so you can listen to it again, and again, and again and......
