NEW YORK – The company Mars Incorporated introduced Snickers to the market in 1930 and today the candy bar holds the prestigious title of being the best selling chocolate bar in the world. The company, owned by the family Mars, creates and distributes many similar chocolate bars like for example Mars, Twix, Milky Way and Bounty. Although all of theses chocolate bars are success stories for themselves, they are not as popular as Snickers. Amplicate data, collected from social media users on Facebook, Twitter and Amplicate tells a similar story.
The overall sentiment about the Snickers chocolate bar has always been predominantly positive. Over 8000 positive opinions were collected on Amplicate, which means that 87 percent of social media users love Snickers. Those figures place the chocolate bar on the first place of our “Top Branded Food” chart and it’s also placed among the top 5 on our “Top Chocolate Products in the US,“”Top Candy Products“ and “Top Confectionary Products in the UK“ charts. Milky Way and Twix are also floating around the top end of our charts, but Snickers definitely has an advantage in how many people love it.
Not everyone shares the sentiment though, and the main reasons why our users hate Snickers are because of its taste and because it’s overstuffed with artificial foodstuffs and therefore, not exactly what you would call healthy. An Amplicate user, who clearly isn’t a fan of the chocolate bar said: ”I hate Snickers because of the nasty chemical taste and way too much glucose. Honestly, just thinking about all that gives me heartburn.”
On the other hand, love confessions about the chocolate bar are exploding across the board. A great majority of people doesn’t love to munch on anything as much as they love to munch on Snickers, and that is what makes Snickers the best selling candy bar in the world and one of the most popular choices of a sweet treat on Amplicate.
