Shouldn't that be the book of Moermon, double-m?

In the UK M&M's used to be called 'Treats' - peanut or chocolate variety. They said the change was to standardise the names across the Atlantic. I reckon they changed them when they heard the joke about a man who used to put sweets up his bum. When asked why he said it felt a treat.

The less said about that the better I guess....

So? Other products with changed names. Marathons became Snickers. Oil of Ulay became Oil of Olay. Any 'other direction' changes? We need to know these things!

Cheers
