I don’t understand the name. I mean, it’s not a bad name per se, but this appears to be totally unrelated to the real 3 Musketeers(as in Dumas’s novel about D’Artagnan meeting up with some of his buds and running around with knives and swords. They wouldn’t have been allowed to do that if they were A) real and B) British. The reason I say that is last month in England an old blind pensioner got tasered by the police because they thought his white stick was a machete. I bet D’Artagnan and his three Musketeer mates wouldn’t have been nearly as effective with 50, 000 volts coming at them…) Ok, I got briefly sidetracked there but the overriding point still stands- is there any kind of legitimate explanation as to why Mars have named this bar after a 19th century French novel without any link between the two?
I mentioned in the intro that I’ve been told the bar is a British Mars Bar but minus the caramel. But I’ve also heard it described as a chocolate Milky Way. And as the shining silver wrapper proclaimed that the bar was “whipped up, fluffy chocolate on chocolate taste” it did sound much closer to a Milky Way than a Mars Bar. By the way, don’t do an internet search for ‘chocolate on chocolate taste’ as the likelihood is that things will not end well!
