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.”
