Snickers "snacklish" translator was a website dedicated to translating inserted words into "snacklish" a fictionalized version of english with various words for food or candy slapped onto other words.
The service in action:
As far as I can see, the website likely went down in early to mid 2014 or early 2015, though there is no archive past January of 2014 that still loads to the loading screen for the site's flash element, the actual translator missing, which is inaccessible without Snicker's server.
As far as had been figured out in this Reddit thread (archive), it seems that while the swf for the site exists, the actual program that provided the translations was server side, and thus lost without help from either the site's creators, likely with David Sakamoto doing much of that work. His webpage has various images of marketing for the related ad campaign, though none of the site directly.
This NYT article (archive) goes into depth on the development of the whole ad campaign.
Attempts to contact David and others involved with the project have been attempted by at least the OP of the above Reddit post, but in the OP, BonfireCow's own words - "I've contacted a few people involved with the project directly, but no response."
