The fluff from Mars

What’s the deal with the fluffy filling in the various chocolate bars produced by the Mars company? They call it nougat, but it’s not like what I conventionally think of nougat.

Candied dust bunnies.

alien brains

hence the name

Which Mars candy bars have fluffy filling?
I’m guessing it will turn out to be whipped triglycerides, though.

Boy-howdy. If anything makes my mouth water, the thought of that does.

Their fluffiest is probably in the Three Musketeers, but a slightly chewier variant is in their others, such as Snickers. In other countries the naming conventions on Mars products varies… but this is a fluff found in most of their stuff.

Dust…yes, it must be Dust…
with caramel…Dust…
The Magisterium’s gonna hit the roof…

3 Musketeers = Milky Way in the UK.

From Wiki

‘The “nougat” used as an ingredient in many modern candy bars is not similar to traditional recipes, but is a mixture of sucrose and corn syrup aerated with a whipping agent such as egg white or hydrolyzed soya protein. It may also have vegetable fats and milk powder added, and is typically combined with nuts, caramel, and/or chocolate. In contrast, European confections feature nougat as the primary component, rather than one of several. Milky Way/Mars, Snickers, 3 Musketeers, and Baby Ruth all have different types of “nougat.”’

Umm, ok. Then what’s a Milky Way in the UK?

Or, is a Milky Way what’s been there and come back?

Thanks Mukade! I’ve been idly wondering what a Three Musketeers Bar was, and never saw one on either my trips to the U.S.. It wasn’t a priority.

Lamby! Listen carefully!

In the U.K. they sell a “candy” bar called “Milky Way”.
If a denizen of the U.S. were to unwrap such a candy bar and try it, they would find that it was much the same as the bar sold in the U.S. as “Three Musketeers”.

Does that make sense now? :wink:

Yes, but here a Milky Way is a 3 Musketeers with caramel. So. . . what do you call that over there?

And then, depending upon the person’s appetite for glucose, he’d say “forget this! I’m getting myself a 99 Flake! Yum! Cake frosting in a cone!”

The Technical term would be “Some American Stuff I’ve never seen before”.

Mukade

OK, I’m going to the grocery store RIGHT NOW and find out.

The British Mars Bar is the equivalent of the American Milky Way.

Then WHAT THE HELL is their equal to our MARS BAR?


ARRRRRRGHHHH!!! Darn you for being so confusing.

So you’re telling me they just switched the names around? Is this metric or something?

U.S.:

Three Musketeers = milk chocolate over a fluffy filling

Mars Bar = milk chocolate over fluffy filling with almonds

Milky Way = dark chocolate over fluffy filling with caramel


Them:

Milk chocolate over fluffy filling =

Milk chocolate over fluffy filling with almonds =

Dark chocolate over fluffy filling with caramel =

I don’t know. This is making me hungry. I think I’ll go have some biscuits. Maybe some chips. Or perhaps some cookies and fries. Or I could throw a joint in the oven. So many possibilities…

Them:

Milk chocolate over fluffy filling = Milky Way

Milk chocolate over fluffy filling with almonds = Topic

Dark chocolate over fluffy filling with caramel = Mars Midnight - not currently on sale

there is even a Wiki page lol http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mars_Bar
