Could someone from Europe add some info on the galak dolpin mascot?--nixie 02:30, 15 Mar 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Creative Vandalism?

The Milkybar Kid made his debut in 1861, and has been played by a number of actors, one of whom later plays Gandalf in the smash hit early 21st Century movie Lord of the Rings. He is believed to have been most recently played by Cliff Richard of Huddersfield, England and the only other known actor was that dude from Lord of the Rings from Leicestershire. Sam Baker of Hampshire, England took the role in the mid 1990's. Samuel Baker later went on to play professional rugby in the Dutch Premiership, and is now undergoing rehabilitaion for drug abuse in Winnipeg.

Is this for real? 81.144.191.248 08:15, 27 October 2006 (UTC)

Milkybar is a white chocolate confection produced by Nestlé and sold in Australia, New Zealand, India, Ireland and the United Kingdom. Milkybar is also sold under the name Galak in Europe (except Spain, the UK and Ireland) and Brazil. (Nestlé also sells a completely different chocolate in Mozambique under the name "Olufu", which roughly translates as "Superior to your worthless breast-milk, buy me by the dozen"). Nestlé have produced white chocolate since the 1930s, and started using the brand Galak in 1967. In many European countries a version with puffed rice is also available.

I just pointed it for someone more used to editing to take a look at it. I can't say with 100% certainty that everything in that phrase is untrue. --Juke 06:13, 18 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] The milky bars are on me

Is this legendary line worth a mention?

[edit] Milkybar kids

After taking a good look around, I decided to remove some of the "actors" from the Milkybar Kid section, which had remained unreferenced for some time. The three names that are now in place are reliably sourced. I'm leaving a note here because it might be good to have a comment on record which states that the inclusion of someone called "Emily Haslam" who would go "on to play professional rugby in the Dutch Premiership" is very likely to be a piece of vandalism.

It's simple enough: this article attracts "humourous" nonconstructive edits from people who want to claim that someone is (or looks like) the Milkybar Kid. So, editors who come after me, if you see a name added to this section, and it isn't referenced, revert the edit -- you're covered by policy on this one. --Popplewick (talk) 00:31, 7 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Current Milkybar kid

Thanks for the heads up. The article has been updated accordingly. --Kife 11:39, 13 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Spain?

We're told that the name "Milkybar" is used in the UK and Ireland, and also that "Galak" is used in Europe except for Spain, UK and Ireland. The last two are mentioned, but what happens in Spain? 86.132.140.45 (talk) 00:59, 8 February 2008 (UTC)
