    • ecologic
    • made in Germany / Berlin

        Milky way is different between the us and everywhere else. In the us it contains caramel. If you want the taste of our milky way in the us you need to buy 3 musketeers.

        What is die and milky way in the USA is sold as a Mars bar outside of the USA. The USA Mars bar has nuts which was sold as ‘Nuts’ over here in the Netherlands (though I think it’s discontinued).

      Website idea. Join together people who, for a small fee, are willing to ship parcels full of treats to the other side of the globe with people craving such treats. Example: I know guys in Japan who would kill for a box of Paluszki made by Lajkonik. Here we have Canadians craving Knoppers. Etc.

      We don’t have much in the way of chocolate selection that isn’t Mars or Kraft. It sucks. Butterfinger are Ferrero, i think? So Italian owned. Peanut, but not the peanut you’re looking for. Who owns Wonderbar? That’s closer to a Snickers, I guess.

        Ferrero (who own Nutella/Kinder/Tictac) isn’t that amazing.

        Several health & safety issues in the past and afaik their stance on child slavery for chocolate isn’t as different to Nestle.

      I was happy to learn that the snacks I always liked the most - Knoppers, Ritter Sport, Corny bars, Milch-Schnitte (Ferrero owned) - were European (specifically German minus one), as are many müsli bars! Guess you can tell Germans like hiking, huh?

      And for Sweden I also like me some Kex.

            Hate their chocolate design with a passion (yes, even with knowing the shite reasoning behind it). Still buying it though, they’re super tasty.
