The British Mars Bar is the equivalent of the American Milky Way.

So you're telling me they just switched the names around? Is this metric or something?

U.S.:

Three Musketeers = milk chocolate over a fluffy filling

Mars Bar = milk chocolate over fluffy filling with almonds

Milky Way = dark chocolate over fluffy filling with caramel


Them:

Milk chocolate over fluffy filling =

Milk chocolate over fluffy filling with almonds =

Dark chocolate over fluffy filling with caramel =

Tell us something.: "Tell us something" hits me a bit like someone asking me to tell a joke. I can always think of a hundred of them until someone asks me for one. You know how it is. Right now, I can't think of "something" to tell you. But I have to use at least 100 characters to inform you of that.

I don't know. This is making me hungry. I think I'll go have some biscuits. Maybe some chips. Or perhaps some cookies and fries. Or I could throw a joint in the oven. So many possibilities...

The Candy Bars do not translate.

UK:

Milk Chocolate over fluffy filling = Milky Way

Milk chocolate over fluffy filling with almonds = NOTHING! (We don't do almonds in sweetie bars. Almonds are for grown ups. )

Dark chocolate over fluffy filling with caramel = NOTHING! (Only Bounty dares to do dark chocolate over a filling. And that's only because it's cocoanut.)

Milk Chocolate over DENSE fluffy-ish filling with caramel = Mars Bar. Please note the lack of almonds.

Being halfway in between, we get both. No-one has pointed out the significant fact that the 3 Musketeer bar is far saltier than a Milky Way, nor that Hershey bars really do glow in the dark.
