At least Walkers Crisps have never been known as "Lays" in the UK.
Funnily enough, the difference between the words marathon and snickers made me think of this: when I watched the London Marathon earlier on this year, they make referece to the "Women's Marathon" - if we changed the word marathon to snickers, we sould get "Women's Snickers" which sounds so much in a Two Ronnies "Fork-Handles" way like saying "women's knickers"!
I often joke that if I am looking for Wagon Wheels these days, I always try and bring a microscope with me, whereas back in the day, I used to stand well back to view them. I blame metrification and shrinkage, circa around 1988 myself.I've everything I need to keep me satisfied
There's nothing you can do to make me change my mind
I'm having so much fun
My lucky number's one
Ah! Oh! Ah! Oh!

I wouldn't like eating Dove in the UK as it would taste rather horrible - it is a bit soapy - and not as in soap in the Family Fortunes sense either! Les Dennis asked a contestant to name a soap (opera) and came up with Dove! At least Coronation Street was sponsored by Cadbury's for a few years.
I think that Marathon has been Snickers in borh America and Europe for donkey's years.
Jif was a bathroom cream cleaner in the UK, but a brand of peanut butter in the USA - probably the reason why it changed to Cif over here.I've everything I need to keep me satisfied
