Snickers fans rejoice as much-loved chocolate bar keeps X-rated feature

"In April, an image of an unusually smooth Snickers bar did the rounds on social media along with the claim that Mars, Inc. had “deveined” the famous chocolate bars following complaints that it shared too close of a resemblance to a penis.

The rumoured change to the chocolate bar traces back to January 2022 when Mars announced it was redesigning the green M&M character.

The reason? To better reflect a “more dynamic, progressive world” and to show off the character’s “personality, rather than their gender.”

Snickers shuts down 'dick vein' rumors in response to viral tweet about candy bar

“The Mars-owned brand responds to social media rumors that it smoothed out its bar to remove X-rated feature

Snickers is shutting down social media rumors that it has smoothed out the chocolate topping of the candy bar to eliminate what some have characterized as a penis vein.

The Mars-owned brand this week declared in a tweet that “contrary to what's trending on Twitter... THE VEINS REMAIN!”

He'll probably need to put together another montage of half-naked sweaty manmeat to soothe his bruised feelings.

4. THat Montage Said Quite A Bit About Him

It always amazes me how some people (a great deal of self processed religious among them), who deny themselves and who they are, are so obsessed and are always thinking about half naked sweaty men.

3. Oh, for gawd's sake! In my 46 years as a peds nurse practitioner, I've...

…seen thousands of penises, from newborn to early 20s.

Never once did one make me think of a Snickers bar.

5. Right?

8. I remember when President Carter was laughed at because of an interview

where he admitted to having "lust in his heart."

seems to me there's a very large percentage of people out there who have sex on the brain...

which is fine, being that the brain is the largest sex organ.

But they turn their obsession with sexual things into accusations against other people and things. (I mean--really--a Snickers bar????)

I personally don't care how much they think about sex, but they need to quit calling themselves "moral" or "righteous" and quit pointing their fingers at others.
