Wait ... From that article: "It was locally named the Milky Way bar but
called the Mars bar in Europe."
Now that is odd. I don't like either bar, but I am sure that both "Milky
way" and "Mars" can be bought in stores here (Germany). So if I --
theoretically -- wanted a Mars candy bar in the US, I'd have to ask for
a Milky Way bar? Strrrange.
Yup. And if you wanted a Milky Way bar (at least, what is called such
in Europe) you have to ask for a 3 Musketeers bar in the US.
