I am informed by (so far) "Garrett," Pierce Askegren, Ryan Mead, Mike Zeidler, Merlin Haas, Craig Wiener, Jim Guida, Hurricane Heenan, Ed Coyote, Don Porges, Johnny Achziger and some guy named Marv Wolfman that once upon a time, a Three Musketeers bar consisted of three sections of nougat — one chocolate, one strawberry, one vanilla. The "musketeer" connection to such a confection was that in advertising, three musketeers would use their expert swordsmanship to trisect the candy bar so that each could have the section with his favorite flavor. Over the years, the bar turned into one chocolate-filled lump but the name remained. I don't understand why you change a product that much and don't rename it but, hey, there are plenty of things in this world I don't understand. Like all these people who claim they like candy corn.
Speaking of candy corn, several of you sent me links to this article over at The Onion. That's only part of it.
