Is there a minimum amount of chocolate needed in a piece of confectionery for it to be classed as a chocolate bar?
Is a Twix a chocolate bar even tho about 45% of it is biscuit, 45% of it is caramel/toffee and about only 10% of it is chocolate**
** not official amounts btw.
If the outside of the bar is completely covered in chocolate, it qualifies as a chocolate bar.
** not official answer btw.

But would you have rather had a chocolate bar than a biscuit?

Why did they call a Marathon bar a Marathon, when it was Snickers elsewhere?

They thought it would be better in the long run.

Marathon was developed here and then moved to the US where the name Marathon was already taken by a different choc bar. The US Marathon was advertised and packaged with a ruler on the pack "eat your way to a Marathon".
In the late 80's Mars group decided they wanted to standardise their lines wordwide, so Marathon became Snickers worldwide a change for the UK and at the same time the Raider bar was re branded as per its UK name, Twix.

How does my computer know about 5 seconds in advance I'm about to receive a mobile phone call or text message?
Loads of interference from my speakers.. and then lo and behold the phone goes off.
Why?

I do know you can solve it for about £3.
Search RFI Ferrite rings on Maplin or the like, work like a dream.
Sadly as for the Why, cant help.
