    They were a ripoff of 3 Musketeers, if you ask me. I never really liked 'em, so I can't say I miss 'em :)

    It use to be really yummy with almonds and a white nuget. But kinda small size. But then I stopped seeing it anywhere. I heard they still had them in England so I went there and bought one but it wasn't the same anymore. More like a 3 Musketeers bar like someone said. :(

    You people don't have Mars Bars? They're still really popular here.

    What's a 3 Musketeers bar?

    And you guys don't like Mars?
    Wow. That's rather unusual from a German point of view. Mars is really popular here.


    Random trivia: My former boss referred to Mars bars always as "Snickers without nuts" [face_plain]

    Be careful people - a Mars bar is different around the world.

    eg a Mars Bar in the UK is called a Milky Way in the US

    which is entirely confusing because we also have Milky Way bars in the UK, but they are obviously different to a Mars Bar.

    I think its clear now that a 3 Musketeers bar is a Mars bar. :( Or maybe it was more like a Milky Way.

    Anyhow, England has Aero bars and they need to bring that to the U.S.

    Mars are great!

    Eat them, or force your government to bring in a supply of millions!

    Nonsense!

    The Chocolate Aero's are the best!

    The mint ones are OK, but nothing can compare to Original and best!

    In the US

    Mars=milk chocolate, nuget, almonds
    Milky Way=milk or dark chocolate, nuget, caramel.
    -the dark chocolate is really yummy
    3 Musketeers=milk chocolate, nuget
    Snickers=milk chocolate, nuget, peanuts, and caramel. They also make a peanut butter version which is to DIE for.

    Yeah, I realised, last time I went to buy a candy bar, it seemed like my choices were very limited. Basically, 3 Musketeer or Snickers. Kind of depressing, really.

    My parents went to England last year and brought back suitcases full of chocolate. I was practically swimming in the stuff. And it was good. I've still got a lot of chocolate Aero (Mitt is right - the original is the best), Cadbury Flake (you can get it here, but it's expensive), and a bunch of other stuff. I've got a box of chocolate that says "Celebration" on it (the box). Basically, it's a bunch of mini-size chocolates. There's Mars, Milky Way, Galaxy, Malteasers, and a bunch of other stuff. It's all good. The British Mars is the same as the American Milky Way. Haven't tried the British Milky Way yet. But I'm sure it'll be good. British chocolate is always better than American chocolate.

    Yes! Yes! We import it once a year because it's the best candy in the world.

    Where I live in Canada, the Mars bar is everywhere, as is its close cousin, the Snickers. Three Musketeers and Milky Way bars are nearly impossible to find. Three Musketeers and Milky Way are the sort of thing that you have to get in specialty candy shops. Actually, there are multiple versions of the Mars bar common here in Halifax. There's a dark chocolate version, an almonds version, I seem to recall a few others as well. They're on regular store shelves.

    Indeed Raven. Mars bars are readily accessible Nova Scotia, and as far as I know, in Canada. They haslo come in two sizes: King Size and Regular. Mmm... so tasty.

    I've seen all threeof the aformementioned variaties, but haven't heard of any other kind.

    And did somebody say "Cadbury Flake"? =P~

    There was an extra chocolate or chocolate fudge version at one point, and a coffee version at one point, if memory serves.
