      Haha, what a great question! 😀 (milky ways are my favorite!)

      The chocolate bar was actually named after a type of popular milkshake when it was invented in the 1920’s

      Did you know in the USA, a milky way bar is called a musketeer bar!

      Hi,

      The Americans have different names for their chocolate bars.

      A Mars bar has almonds in it.

      A Milk Way is an English Mars Bar

      A 3 Musketeers is a Milky Way that is bigger than a Double Decker!

      A Mounds bar is a Bounty
