I was just reading about candy bars for a trivia night, and the internet tells me the UK Milky Way is the same as the US 3 Musketeers bar. As in, it omits the caramel.

Also, the 3 Musketeers candy bars used to come with 3 flavors in the package: chocolate, strawberry, and vanilla. Cost cutting led to eliminating the 2 less popular flavors.



Is the US Milky Way like a UK Mars bar then? My mind is blown by this sub-thread.


Effectively, yes.

Yes, though a Snickers is the same in both countries.


They are not the same! The cacao differences between the two basically means the uk version tastes great, and the US one tastes like my socks.


And it's supposed to be called Marathon, too.


I've seen some YouTuber taste test both US and European Snickers, and he claimed they were quite different. Ingredients list backed him up.

EU had more peanuts, not so sweet and nougat was different, IIRC.


Just wait until you learn about Smarties.
