Riesens are bad, but what about the Mary Jane? My teeth hurt just thinking about them.  And they tasted so terrible!

MJs are without question the worst candy of all-time.  My grandmother used to dispense these for Halloween. 

ICK! Horrifying candy. My grandmother made a big deal about Mary Janes as well. I think it's the tie in to childhood memories.

As I said, Milky Way (EUR) = 3 Musketeers (US)

Do I need some other naming convention?

Yes, preferably in semaphore.

Nick,

I am in the US - and 3 Musketeers has never had caramel.  Apparently it orginally had three different flavors - choc van straw, but never caramel.

Ok, now I see what you mean. And you're right... I meant to say Milky Way has caramel while 3 Musketeers is all nougat. And for the record, a Snickers is just a Milky Way with peanuts.

Peanut Chews was (?) / were (?) a pretty decent American style candy bar.  Even with the new packaging, it's seven little, distinct Peanut Chews to a bar.

I think it's caramel or some close substitute.  Not bad.  It would be hard to sharpen one, though.

I'm a big fan of a Charleston Chew. I miss banana Charleston Chews.

the super-sticky dental-work-demolishing substance in the original peanut chews was molasses. They were an all-natural candy bar... I'm sure now it's some amalgamation of corn syrup and scary stuff.
