mmmmm.....CANDY!

But we have Snickers Almond as well. And I just found a Mars bar the other day. And it wasn't a Milky way.

US 3 musketeers = nougat and chocolate
US milky way = 3 musketeers + caramel
US mars bar = nougat and almonds*

*the mars bar has been discontinued in the us

Exactly.

UK Mars Bar = US 3 musketeers + caramel
UK Milky Way = nougat and chocolate
UK Snickers Almond = nougat and almonds

Europe doesn’t have the US Mars Bar, and no chocolate called 3 Musketeers.

What was the Mars Bar like?

From wikipedia:

A U.S Mars bar
The worldwide Mars bar differs from that sold in the US. The American version was discontinued in 2002 and was replaced with the slightly different Snickers Almond featuring nougat, almonds, and a milk chocolate coating. Like the later recipe changes to the American Mars bar, Snickers Almond also contains caramel. The US version of the Mars bar was relaunched in January 2010 and was initially being sold on an exclusive basis through Walmart stores. The European version of the Mars bar is also sold in some United States grocery stores. The US version was once again discontinued at the end of 2011. In September 2016, Ethel M. Chocolates, a gourmet chocolate subsidiary of Mars, Inc. launched the 'original American recipe' of the Mars Bar in their stores and on Amazon.com. Unlike Snickers Almond and later incarnations of the American Mars bar, this bar does not contain caramel.

The Canadian Mars bars, as with all Mars Bars outside the US, are very similar to the United States Milky Way, which Mars, Inc. also produces (not to be confused with the European version of Milky Way, which is similar to the United States' 3 Musketeers).

Idk. I'm going to buy all of these this weekend and cut them open to take pictures and show everyone here, because this thread is getting irritating. (no one's fault)

The only Mars bar I've ever had in the US was the same as a UK Mars.

[E.H. Ruddock]

Pretty much what Anders is telling me is that every candy bar in the US is also in Europe, but they switched the names of each of them.

[E.H. Ruddock]

My dad used to work for a Mars plant in PA when I was a kid.

[Anders]

Only for these three.

Snickers is the same, Twix is the same etc.

yeah but what do your left and right twix taste like

[Anders]

Of course Bounty is more or less called Mounds and Almond Joy. We have Daim, but no Skor or Heath. And there are probably more, but no switching between names like Mars/Milky Way. And it was the US that changed the names.

there are also these delicious little things sold in the uk (my wife would bring them home from business trips). i think they're like a hundred grand bar here without the caramel.

[E.H. Ruddock]

Yeah, we had Lion bars in Iceland. Very good.
