I bought a case of...The chocolate's different.<br /><br />I bought a case of Mars bars from the UK a couple of years ago, and although they were unfortunately stale, by comparison I thought they were tastier and maltier, and the chocolate tasted decidedly "Cadbury". By comparison, our usual Milky Way is overwhelmingly fresh, sweet, and gooey. I think I like yours better.<br /><br />Interestingly, Canada sells its own "Mars" bars that are constructed the same way but are not as good as either.<br /><br />I love the American Mars bar, with almonds. They discontinued it and now sell it under the "Snickers Almond" label. Lame.<br /><br />Looking at your pictures, the obvious difference (besides size) between YOUR "Milky Way" and our "3 Musketeers" is the nougat- ours is chocolate, yours is vanilla. I've read that when 3 Musketeers first came out, they were in 3 bar packs with one chocolate, one vanilla, and one strawberry - hence its name (3 Musketeers). It's been chocolate only for my lifetime, at least. <br /><br />At the time of this posting, I'm preparing to do a search of British or Aussie chocolate shops to see about picking up some of your Milky Ways. I can't wait.<br /><br />Jeremy<br />USAAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
