The Milky Way bar is a chocolate bar manufactured and distributed by the Mars confectionery company. The American version of the Milky Way bar is made of chocolate-malt nougat topped with caramel and covered with milk chocolate and is very similar to the Mars bar sold in other countries. The non-US Milky Way bar, on the other hand, is not topped with caramel. ==American version== The Milky Way bar was created in 1923 by Frank C. Mars and originally manufactured in Minneapolis, Minnesota. The name and taste were taken from a famed malted milk drink (milkshake) of the day – not the Earth’s galaxy, as many contend.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Sweet! Milky Way Bar Celebrates 85th Anniversary )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Milky Way® Brand Timeline )〕 On March 10, 1925, the Milky Way trademark was registered in the U.S., claiming a first-use date of 1922. In 1924, the Milky Way bar was introduced nationally and sold $800,000 that year. The chocolate for the chocolate coating was supplied by Hershey's. By 1926 it came out in two flavors, chocolate nougat with milk chocolate coating, and vanilla nougat with a dark chocolate coating, 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 were separated. The vanilla version, with a dark chocolate coating, was called "Forever Yours" and it was produced until 1979.〔p.174 Brenner, Joël Glenn ''The Emperors of Chocolate: Inside the Secret World of Hershey and Mars'' Broadway Books, 04/01/2000〕 In 1989, Forever Yours was reintroduced and renamed "Milky Way Dark," and later "Milky Way Midnight".〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Gone but not Forgotten )〕 In 1935, the slogan was "The sweet you can eat between meals."〔 It was then changed to "At work, rest and play, you get three great tastes in a Milky Way." By 2006 the US slogan was "Comfort in every bar." and most recently became "Life's Better the Milky Way."〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Emotional Food Ad Slogans )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Top 10.5 is a Top 10 list where being #1 isn't good enough )〕 In 2010, the Milky Way Simply Caramel bar went on sale. This version has no nougat and is made of caramel covered in milk chocolate. In 2011, a fun size offering of the Simply Caramel bar was introduced. In 2012, Milky Way Caramel Apple Minis went on sale as a limited time offer for the Halloween season. The American Milky Way bar contains 240 Calories in each 52.2 gram bar, while the smaller Milky Way Midnight contains 220 Calories in each 50 gram bar and the Milky Way Simply Caramel bar contains 250 calories in each 54 gram bar.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Milky Way Nutritional Information )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Milky Way (chocolate bar)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
