Now, BTS has apparently teamed up with American chocolate company Mars‘ Snickers candy bars. So, you can buy “borahaed” packaging featuring iconic BTS song lyrics and titles, such as “Spring Day,” “Make It Right,” “I’m Fine, “Life Goes On,” etc.
This came as a surprise to many ARMYs, though. The limited edition Snickers bars were spotted in stores without notice.

Yet, the collaboration was foreshadowed years ago.
BTS released their MV for “FAKE LOVE” in May 2018. One scene stood out to ARMYs as it featured J-Hope lying in a pool of Snickers bars.

At the time, the scene sent ARMYs into meltdown…

Snickers were actually featured previously in the “WINGS Short Film #6 MAMA” in 2016!

But with “FAKE LOVE” featuring Snickers, it even sparked drama between chocolate bars. Butterfinger was a bit salty that BTS chose Snickers.
Ultimately, Snickers won the “fight,” and ARMYs encouraged the chocolate bar to “get that promo.”

Jhope should be the model for Snickers as well as Sprite. I’m ready to eat and drink these instead of rice and water. @SNICKERS @Sprite #iVoteBTSBBMAs @BTS_twt

Now, after four years, we finally have the official BTS x Snickers collaboration!
So far, BTS x Snickers have been spotted in the East Region of the world, such as Thailand and the Philippines. Let’s hope for a Western release too!
