@derbadian@mas.to at first I was confused as to why you have both Milky Way and Mars bars (a Mars bar is functionally equivalent to a Milky Way in the US) and then I learned that what you call Milky Way outside of the US we call a Three Musketeers.

@harpaa01@mastodon.social @derbadian@mas.to ah so that's what 3 musketeers are! Saw them mentioned in a Stephen King (or similar) book a long time ago, had no frame of reference. I don't think it affected the plot.

@harpaa01@mastodon.social Yes, here Mars is quite a stodgy chocolate, Milky Way is a lot lighter. They actually used to advertise it as the snack you can eat between meals, but you can't get away with that kind of thing these days!
