Milky Way Chocolate Bar from Mars, Incorporated (Captured by camera)

Today...
was the THIRTIETH day of my journey, which was the very LAST DAY of my experiment. I still remember the day when I first started exploring my experiment. Time really flew and it was unbelievable that I have finally and successfully tried 30 different chocolates. Even though I was excited to have end trying different kinds of chocolate, I still have to study hard for my Mathematics midterm exam.
On this very last day, I tried out the Milky Way Chocolate Bar that was manufactured by Mars, Incorporated.

Its Background Information
Milky Way Chocolate Bar:
The Milky Way bar was created in 1923 by Frank C. Mars and originally manufactured in Minneapolis, Minnesota. It was the first commercially distributed filled chocolate bar. The name and taste was taken from a famed malted milk drink (milkshake) of the day – not the Earth’s galaxy, as many contend.Forrest Mars, son of Frank, claims that he came up with the idea and gave it to his father.

On March 10, 1925, the Milky Way trademark was registered in the United States, claiming a first-use date of 1922. In 1924, the Milky Way bar was introduced nationally and sold USD $800,000 that year. The chocolate for the chocolate coating was supplied by Hershey's.

By 1926 it had two flavours, chocolate and vanilla, each for a nickel. In June 1932, the Milky Way bar was sold as a two piece bar, but just four years later, in 1936, the chocolate and vanilla flavors forever parted.

The vanilla Milky Way bar, which was covered in dark chocolate rather than milk chocolate, was renamed the Forever Yours bar. The Forever Yours bar remained available until 1979 when it was discontinued. Due to popular demand, the Forever Yours bar returned in 1989 renamed as the Milky Way Dark bar. In 2000, it was renamed again, creating the now-popular Milky Way Midnight bar.

In the US, as of 2006, the slogan is, "Comfort in every bar." Previously, the long-standing slogan was, "At work, rest and play, you get three great tastes in a Milky Way." In 1935, it was "The sweet you can eat between meals.".

In 2010, the Milky Way Simply Caramel bar went on sale. This version has no nougat and is made of caramel covered in chocolate.

Rating (5 stars for a maximum; 1 star for a minimum):
Healthiness: ★★
Price: ★★★★
Taste: ★★★

To sum up, this Milky Way Chocolate Bar was only at average, simply because of its over-sweetness, in which this might affect our health. However, its price was between my "reasonable range". and so I think it was still worth to buy.
