Talk:Marathon (candy)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] Curly Wurly comparison

Regarding the following paragraph, which was removed by Wikipediatrix as part of a "removed POV/OR observation" edit:-

Today, the closest available candy to the Marathon bar is Cadbury's Curly Wurly which is sold in the United Kingdom, Australia and several other countries, but not in the U.S.

I assume this was due to "Today, the closest available candy to the Marathon bar is...". This *is* POV, albeit minor; but it could have been easily rewritten instead of removing the whole thing. As someone else mentioned the Curly Wurly again anyway, I put back the paragraph, minus POV as follows:-

Another braided caramel and chocolate bar still sold as of 2006 is Cadbury's Curly Wurly. This is sold in the United Kingdom, Australia and several other countries, but not in the U.S.

I avoided saying "A similar bar is...", as that is still technically POV/OR. Perhaps I could find a reputable third-party source commenting upon its similarity(!!!), but including it would bloat the article more than it helped it anyway.
