I hear that in Australia, Mars Bars are known as "Cloud 9." That's my unamerican factoid for the day.

UK/Canadian Mars Bars are like USian Milky Way bars, only better.

US Mars Bars are like (Canadian) Mars with Almonds, but they seem to have been rebranded Snickers With Almonds.

Hello! I must be going.

I want to try a deep-fried Twinkie. I know they have them in Brooklyn somewhere. I must quest.

Heh. Ted Koppel, looking silly in an admittedly needed helmet, is broadcasting from the tarmac at Saddam International. I'm beginning to really think that its namesake is chatting with Stalin in Hell right now. I'm betting that the reporters or troops have a pool on when they'll find the solid proof.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

it'll be one less source of money for those Islamofacist bastards in the world

I'm sure the Saudis can manage solo.

Why Mars bars I've always wondered.

But (US) Snickers With Almonds have caramel, and (US) Milky Way bars don't. Do UK/Canadian Mars Bars have it?

US Milky Ways have caramel. Three Musketeers don't.

Edit: and UK/Canadian Mars Bars are Milk Chocolate, Nougat, and Caramel. Like US Milky Ways, but slightly maltier in the Nougat.

I can also go off at length about Caramilk vs. Caramello, although I think Caramilks, at least in Canada, have been reformulated and now taste like Caramellos.

Err. Damn. Not that I have any weird obsessive candy thing going on here...

Oh! Right. I got them mixed up.

Lurching from one disaster to the next.

Never heard of, or seen, a "Cloud 9" but I do know USian chocolate is not well regarded in Oz. Hershey have tried to get a foot-hold over here but have never done much. To bitter for the majority of Aussie palates.

Someone should figure out how to deep fry a smore.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

and (US) Milky Way bars don't.

Yes they do. It's Three Musketeers that don't have the caramel.

(x-post, obviously.)

The dark chocolate Milky Ways are really quite good. The nougat is different than the regular MW.
