All of the chocolate bars that were given a different name here in Britain were later given their original names. Except for Smarties. Our Smarties are basically just regular chocolate M&Ms with a slightly thinner shell

Correction: the Three Musketeers flavors were strawberry, chocolate, and vanilla. The same trifecta as Neapolitan ice cream.

I grew up in Golden Colorado which was near to the Jolly Rancher factory before it closed down. If the wind was blowing right the smell of candy would be everywhere. I was really bummed when they closed down that factory, I loved buying the Cinnamon flavored Jolly Rancher Sticks.
