Rate this candy bar out of 10.
![]() I used to love these, but something about it turns me off now. 6/10 |
It also used to be my favorite on Halloween. Now I need the nuts of a snickers bar. The thought of this on a hot summer day makes me sick.
5/10 |
A poor man's Snickers. 5/10
|
There's only one candy bar I like....Snickers.
|
In the uk this is a mars bar and i rate it 7/10.
A milky way here is like this but has no caramel. |
This sounds like a Johnny Carson joke. "In the UK they call a Milky Way a Mars bar. And a Milky Way over there has no caramel, so it is what we call a Three Musketeers... I did not know that."

Milky Way® = Mars® Bar? ("Mars® Bar" is a registered trademark of the Mars, Inc.) ![]() Fig. 2: U.S. Milky Way Bar Wrapper ![]() Fig. 1: Canadian Mars Bar Wrapper Abstract: The apparent similarity between the Canadian Mars Bar and the United States Milky Way was theorized after examination between the two Countries' Mars Bars reveiled that both were of a different species. The U.S. Milky Way Bar does indeed display an amazing similarity to the Northern Mars Bar. And like the Canadian bars, the Milky Way Bars also include the warning: "May Contain Peanuts." Why the big "cover-up" is anyone's guess. ![]() Fig. 3: Sample MW1010US ![]() Fig. 4: Sample MB1010CA Country: Weight: Ingredients: United States 20 grams
The initial conclusion is that the Milky Way Bar sold in the United States is indeed of the same species as the Canadian Mars Bar. The differences being a slightly lighter color of the Milky Way, no doubt fostered to keep with the implied "lightness" of the name..8 ounce Milk Chocolate, (Sugar, Cocoa Butter, Chocolate, Lactose, Skim Milk, Milkfat, Soy Lechithin, Artificial Flavor), Corn Syrup, Sugar, Partially Hydrogenated Soybean Oil, Skim Milk, Less than 2% - Milkfat, Cocoa Powder Processed with Alkali, Lactose, Malted Barley, Wheat Flour, Salt, Egg-Whites, Artifical Flavor, Soy Protein Canada 17 grams .5 ounce Sugar, Corn Syrup. Milk Ingredients: Hydrogenated Soybean & Palm Oil, Cocoa Butter, Cocoa Mass. Modified Milk Ingredients: Malted Milk Powder, Malted Barley Wheat Flour, Sodium Bicarbonate. Cocoa, Soy Lechithin, Salt, Dried Egg-White, Hydrolyzed Soy Protein, Artifical Flavour http://www.oregonl5.org/mist/mwaybar.html |
For "Canadian" you can read "European" too.
Also, European Milky Ways come in blue wrappers ![]() and if you break them open they look like this ![]() The American Milky Ways are sold as Mars here, like Stu said. |
(European) Milky Way - 5/10
Mars - 7/10 I prefer hazelnut chocolate bars |
Never really liked Milky Way (And yeah it is marketed as "Mars" in Europe)
My favourite is probably Lion. Very popular in Europe ![]() 8/10 |
^^ looks like a twix
|
Mars = 7
Milky Way = 5 |
Yeah it indeed looks a bit like Twix but the taste is different. But well, the crunchy feeling when you bite in it is quite similar.
|
Candy bars are ≤6 out of 10.
Other words, I hate candy bars unless we include stuff like Abba-Zaba. |
My favourite is this one without any doubt:
![]() |
Kit Kat 6.5/10
Lion 7/10 Twix 8/10 Snickers 9/10 |
Frozen Snickers are also another notable exception.

It's good that you edited that second line in, because I was about to believe you rated all candy bars 6 or higher...unless the American ≥ means ≤ in Europe/Canada. |
I like this thread
Mars (American Milky Way): 7/10 European Milky Way: 9/10 Lion: 7/10 Twix: 8/10 Snickers: 6/10 Kit Kat: 9/10 Flakes: 100/10 ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ^^^ pretty much one of the best things ever |

Coffee Crisp 10/10 Cerises 10/10 (another rarity) Eat-More 9/10 Wunderbar 9/10 |
give me real chocolate anytime. candybars, not so much.

![]() 7/10 - Chewy and chocolaty. Like a Mars bar on steroids. ![]() 6/10 - Reeks of sophistication but can get a bit sickly before you finish the whole bar. ![]() 9/10 - The daddy of chocolate bars. No frills but oozing heritage and class. ![]() 10/10 - If Black Sabbath were a chocolate bar, they'd be a Yorkie. Thick, heavy and designed for men with beards. |

One fond memory of visiting Ireland when I was 13 is being offered a "biscuit" at one of the bed & breakfasts along the way and turning it down thinking of the North American usage. The lady then opened a cupboard fill with various chocolate covered Cadbury confections and I had a sugar-gasm.
