I guess this is the reason why they were renamed? In Germany the name is just a name. But for an english speaker, the Candy bar's name it could be smacking of , (shudder). violence. :D
I was speculating why they changed the name in the first place. The name "raider" means nothing in the german language. Its just a name. But since the english meaning refers to individuals engaging in some kind of violent act, perhaps at some point, it was considered an inopportune name that might give offense to some.

This is just me speculating
Definitely worth a thought.
Ever looked at the list of inappropriate car names? Those are worse than this. Like Audi e-tron (look up étron in French).
Pretty cool car too.
