Behold two versions of a Milky Way bar: the top one is from my local European grocery store, and was made in Poland. The lower one is the plain ol’ US version from the Jewel.
When I first visited Europe in the early 1990s, I was surprised to see several different versions of Milky Way bars for sale there– whereas in the States we have Three Musketeers, Snickers, Mars, and two versions of Milky Way (light and dark), in Europe they brand all these bars as different versions of “Milky Way.”
This one is a Three Musketeers equivalent. Aside from being smaller, it’s less chocolate-y and more nougat-y than its American counterpart, and closer in taste to the way I remember Three Musketeers bars as a kid. The chocolate shell on this one, as with most European chocolate, is much smoother and less waxy than the American version. Delicious.
The side of the label says “Cosmically Light:”
