What does Snickers mean?
/ˈsnɪkəɹz/

Snickers takes its name from the classic candy bar, a favorite treat blending peanuts, caramel, and nougat in milk chocolate. The Mars company is said to have named the bar after a horse the founding family kept on their farm.

Sweet and a little mischievous, it fits a pet who's always getting into something, usually food. Fun to say and instantly appetite-inducing.
