Try a Flyte. It is an OLD Milky Way.

Well in that case my taste buds must have changed in my old age
They are admittedly similar but I don't think they are the same. Masterfoods will tell you anything!

I agree with you paul they are the old Milky Way. I used to love Milky Ways until they changed them, Flyte just taste like the old Milky Way

Have you tried a 'wild and whippy' from Tesco? They are a similar sort of bar.
Haven't eaten a Flyte or a Milky Way for years so not sure how they compare.

Milky Way taste a bit cheap these days. The filling used to be light and chocolate/malty but now it's a dirty colour and tastes a bit stale.
Flyte is nicer.

I honestly believe that a Flyte IS the old Milky Way.
Getting Mars to speak to you, never mind reply to a specific question is all but impossible.

Nope. They just changed them.
Like why did they call Marathons Snickers? Why did they get rid of Opal Mints/Pacers? Why did they call Opal Fruits Starburst?
Don't get me started!!

Why did they call Opal Fruits Starburst?
I heard it was something to do with European legislation as the sweets did not actually contain opals
Probably it was more like the company wanting to save money by having the same name for the product globally so they could run the same adverts worldwide

It's a globalisation thing. As Cherry says, it's cheaper to use the same branding worldwide - plus Americans don't come over now and say 'oh my gaaawwd, what are Opal Fruits? I like totally wanted some Starburst and a Snickers, but all I can find is this Marathon bar. Like oh my gaawwd'.
Not all Americans are valley girls or Texans
