There's a Milky Way in the UK/Ireland that's completely different to the Mars bar.
- e28eta 2mo agoI 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.
- drcongo 2mo agoIs the US Milky Way like a UK Mars bar then? My mind is blown by this sub-thread.
- pixelesque 2mo agoEffectively, yes. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Milky_Way_(chocolate_bar) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Milky_Way_(chocolate_bar)
- dingaling 2mo agoYes, though a Snickers is the same in both countries.
- magicalhippo 2mo agoI'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.
- Flere-Imsaho 2mo agoThey 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.

- wolvoleo 2mo agoIt's super similar though. But without the caramel and the soft stuff is vanilla flavoured instead of chocolate. I like them better actually. The mars bar is too chocolatey for me (while actually having really bad quality chocolate)
