The Mars Confusion

I don't eat much chocolate, or at least not in the giant chocolate bar kind of form and if I do occasionally fancy something it's usually a packet of M&Ms or even more rarely a Snickers both of which are the same as their UK counterparts. This may in part explain the vast delay in realising bizarre differences in naming of their chocolate bars by the Mars corporation...

Snickers (UK) = Snickers (US)
Mars (UK) = Milkyway (US)
Milkyway (UK) = 3 Muskateers (US)

Mars (US) = a Snickers (UK) but with almonds instead of peanuts! The UK should feel jipped.

I stumbled upon this last night while eating my spoils from my chilli cook-off winning veggie chilli. I ate a mini-milkyway and there is was, caramel. What madness is this, I thought?! Amanda and I then had to go step by step through the names of Mars manufactured chocolate bars. There were lots of "no wait, a milkyway has what now? Oh no, I think you'll find that is a mars bar!" Step by step we managed to pinpoint the differences. I still can't get my head around a mars bar having nuts in it. My world has been turned upside down.
