In June 2018, Mars will release new Snickers bars as a part of their “Hunger Bars” campaign. In conjunction with their popular ad tagline - “Eat a Snickers. You’re not you when you’re hungry.” - the brand is launching three new flavors, each of which is associated with a hunger symptom labeled on the outside of the packaging.
According to the company’s website, “Espresso” Snickers bars are for people who are irritable, “Salty & Sweet” bars are for those who are indecisive, and “Fiery” bars are for fans who may be feeling a bit wimpy. Each bar will feature the classic recipe - peanuts and caramel covered in milk chocolate - except with espresso, hot pepper, and salted-caramel infused nougat.
Last year around this time, Snickers launched a similar Hunger Bar promotion in partnership with the NFL, swapping 26 football-related “symptoms” with the brand name - labels included words like “Sacked,” “Snappy,” and “Sidelined.” You can still find these candies at retailers through December 2017.
