Are you more likely to buy a Marathon than a Snickers bar?Snickers ,seems to be an americanism more so when it is associated,represented byMr T. The word Marathon has its roots in Greek history, the Battle of Marathon took place in 490 BC during the first invasion of Greece, it was fought between the citizens of Athens, aided by Plataea and a Persian force commanded by Datis and Artaphernes. So who knows what or who this chocolate bar was named after, now its more associated with a running event. History is just wonderful.
