Hungry? Grab a Snickers. Or a Hysterectomy.

Someone phone Sherlock Holmes and his trusty sidekick, Dr. Fagola Watson. We have a mystery on our hands...

It seems as though Snickers new advertising campaign, plastered all over city buses and billboards, is a series of strange portmanteaus including, "Hungerectomy" and "Noutatocity."

Hungerectomy must be a combination of the "hunger" and ... "hysterectomy" or "tonsillectomy" maybe.... or how about, "appendectomy?"

Part of the mystery is the lack of information online about this ad campaign. I can't find a THING!

I'm not falling for it. The only portmanteau that I equate with Snickers is "fattard."

This is actually pretty funny. The other night I was laying in bed complaining about my shoulder and I kept saying things like "I need a shoulder-ectomy. I need a shoulder-otomy. etc." Snickers totally copied off me.
