I had to look that one up ( http://www.candyfavorites.com/Idaho-Spud-pr-2136.html?gclid=CNG6l9GZkY0CFRDaYgod4lnhpQ ) as I had never heard of it. And if you met me, you wouldn't think that there was any candy bar I hadn't met. <g> Where did you come across that one?

>>>The product names differ. I think the candy bar sold as a Mars bar in the UK is about the same as a 3 Musketeers bar in the U.S.

>>Ah, so the 3 are work, rest and play? Or the 3 constituents to the bar? I thought it may be that cos they did the same in the UK reduced the size.
