You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

nougat surrounded by milk chocolate = US Three Musketeers

nougat and caramel surrounded by milk chocolate = US Milky Way = UK (etc.) Mars Bar

nougat and caramel and peanuts surrounded by milk chocolate = US Snickers

nougat and caramel and almonds surrounded by milk chocolate = US Snickers With Almonds = UK (etc.) Mars Bar With Almonds

I think the US version of the Mars Bar was just the nougat, caramel, and peanuts, i.e. a Snickers without the chocolate.

I think we've also got a dark chocolate Milky Way.

They used to call these Forever Yours bars.

And we will call it... "This Land."

Nougat? I thought that was a moussy sort of chocolate thing. You know, like that other thing, the one with the stuff.

Going to work now. I'm obviously in the right frame of mind.

It's what's called "nougat" in the strange idiom of chocolate bars, which as we know only vaguely resembles real-world nougat. (Similarly "honeycomb".)

Mathair & Athair beo.

'Nooo-gaa' or 'Nugget'?

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love

"Noo-gat" is how I pronounce it.

Mmm, candy bars. No, I have nothing else to add to this discussion.

[Edit: Actually, I think I say it "noo-git" like Lady O'Spain.]

Red hair and black leather--my favorite color scheme.

Nooo-git. I don't know why.

I think that's how they pronounce it in the commercials.

Really? Our commercials say "noo-gah" (which is approximately correct).

It's a remora, dimwit.

I usually hear it as coming close to rhyming with Ted Nugent's surname.

somewhere between noo-git and noo-gat. :)

And now I still have a candybar craving. But YAY for finding out that next time I'm in NYC I can go find a deepfried bar! WOOHOO!!!
