Mars said it is trying to fill a gap in the market with Snickers Charge, with a growing number of 18- to 24-year-olds in the US drinking caffeinated beverages on a daily basis.


“Research shows that consumers desire a product that not only provides a boost of energy but is also satisfying in taste,” said Michele Kessler, vice president of marketing at Mars Snackfood US.


The chocolate bar also contains taurine and B-vitamins and is available in select food, mass, club, convenience and drug stores through March 2008 for US$0.65.
