[edit] Naming differences
(Outside of the United States and Canada, the 3 Musketeers bar is called the Milky Way bar, and the candy bar that is known in the U.S. as the Milky Way bar is known as the Mars bar.)
- this begs the question about the Mars bar sold in the United States. What is THAT called in Europe. Also, I vote the 3 Musketeers (and European Milky Way) to be the lamest candy bar ever. -Diego Gravez 23:02, 5 September 2007 (UTC)
this last paragraph in incorrect, 3 Musketeers are imported and sold as such outside US, at least in Central America, Milky Ways ans 3 Musketeers are the same as in the US—This unsigned comment was added by Danielchaves (talk • contribs) .
- Maybe the switch is just in Europe? I've changed the article to reflect the uncertainty. -SCEhardT 19:53, 31 March 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Grammar
Changed that to this,
[edit] What is the article about?
The article seems to be more about the relative fat content of a 3 Musketeers and less about the history of the 3 Musketeers. I would expect to find something about the history of the candy bar (which I am not familiar with, else I would propose a new article).
However, if Wikipedia decides to keep this text, it should be ammended to include the amount of saturated fat per serving. (Example: 5 grams fat per 33 gram serving.)
[edit] Pictures
Nice pictures, but can someone find one with the original 3 flavours? (And info about why they were changed? 3 flavours sounds yummier to me...) Brutannica 05:06, 26 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] 3 Flavors
I totally agree! They still make Easter candy that has strawberry and vanilla centers...both are very good, though I do prefer the chocolate one of today...
[edit] "The Other" 3 musketeers
When I emigrated from the Netherlands to the USA a couple years ago, I was surprised that what I knew as a Milky Way is a called a 3 Musketeers here, and what Americans call a Milky Way is what I know as a Mars bar. So Mars (as a brand) doesn't exist here, and 3 Musketeers doesn't exist in the Netherlands. However I do remember a candy bar called "3 Musketiers" from when I was little; it was made of caramel (like the caramel in a Mars/Milky way, no nougat) covered with chocolate, it was flat and long (I'd say 2cm x 20cm x 1cm but I may remember incorrectly) and looked as if three strands of caramel had been braided together loosely and covered with chocolate. I guess the name was inspired by the 3 "strands" combined with the unusual length of the candy which also inspired the slogan "As long as a rapier" ("zo lang als een degen").
If anyone knows more about the history of this candy (and perhaps if it was known outside the Netherlands), it should probably also be added :-)
[edit] Nutritional Vandalism
It seems to me after reading through the edit history briefly that some student(s) using public IP addresses have been continually adding the "nutrition information" recently. Whether it is false or not I do not know but just judging by the history it seems like it is vandalism and they are seeing how much they can get put on this lesser-known article without it being taken off. Keep an eye on it, and thanks. Mattygabe 23:35, 12 April 2007 (UTC)
- Unless those editors also wrote the linked reference, the info seems legit. I rewrote it a while back to make it sound less like an exposé. -SCEhardT 23:45, 12 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Chocolate or Vanilla?!
So is the nougat center vanilla or chocolate? I always thought it was chocolate, but the beginning of the article says it's vanilla, while later it says it's chocolate. What gives? (The same issue seems to apply to the Flyte bar article). Brainscar 11:14, 6 October 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Origin
I remember seeing something on Food Network saying that the 3 Musketeers bar was supposed to be a candy bar that tasted like a milkshake or something like that. Maybe this can be added? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.252.65.147 (talk) 05:00, 9 November 2007 (UTC)
[edit] 3 Musketeers Mint
No one put any imagines about the new 3 Musketeers Flavor which is "3 Musketeers Mint", it is slit into two pieces, has dark chocolate instead of mint chocolate & it has a fluffy white mint nougat. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 4.224.63.16 (talk) 02:35, 17 February 2008 (UTC)
