Why have they changed the name of Mars bars? And why did they choose such a ridiculous name?

I think it was something to do with the world cup.

It's not permanent, it's only for the World Cup. And yes, it is completely pointless.

So they could cut their budgets by producing worldwide packaging and advertising.

The point of "Believe" is apparently to increase sales via world cup fever.

Whilst it's claimed to be the 'original Mars' there's nothing original about it being 62.5g.  When I was a wee lad a Mars was 68g!  (There's not much original about the price, either...)
