I don't eat mars bars, raw or deep fried.
I've yet to come across a chippy in Scotland that does deep fried mars bars.

Where do you find Mars bars? They are not available now in the USA.

I don't like either bar, but I am sure that both "Milky way" and "Mars" can be bought in stores here (Germany). So if I -- theoretically -- wanted a Mars candy bar in the US, I'd have to ask for a Milky Way bar? Strrrange. Christian |

Mars bars were sold in the USA under that name, but are no longer
manufactured here. I checked their web site. I will look for Milky Way in stores. Incidentally, the name of the company that makes these and other varieties of candy is now called Mars Incorporated.. They have expanded their activities to include pet care, main course meals, drinks, electronics, information technology, etc. This list may explain why they changed the name of the candy bar.
