1978 Milky Way Chocolate Bar

1978 UK and Ireland commercial for Milky Way Chocolate Bars

The Milky Way bar is a chocolate bar 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 and is therefore similar to the American 3 Musketeers bar.

The European version of the bar has no caramel topping, and consists of a nougat centre that is considerably lighter than that of the Mars bar. Because of this low density (0,88 g/cm³), it will float in water (and/or in milk) without sinking. This rare attribute was used for an advertising campaign in Germany, France, Russia, Republic of Ireland, Poland, the Netherlands and the United Kingdom.

1978 commercial form BANJO chocolate Bar

Banjo is a chocolate bar once available in the UK. Introduced with a substantial television advertising campaign in 1976, Banjo was a twin bar (similar in shape and size to Twix) and based upon a wafer with a chopped peanut layer and the whole covered in milk chocolate. It was packaged in distinctive navy blue – with the brand name prominently displayed in yellow block text – and was one of the first British snack bars to have a heat-sealed wrapper closure instead of the reverse-side fold common to most domestically-produced chocolate bars at that time. It was available into the 1980s. There was a coconut version also available in a red wrapper with yellow text.

Topic Chocolate Bar 1976

1976 commercial for TOPIC chocolate bar

Topic is a chocolate bar made by Mars, Incorporated in France and sold throughout Europe and the United States. It contains hazelnuts, nougat and caramel.

The fictional character Arnold Rimmer from the British TV sci-fi comedy Red Dwarf mentioned that he was the only person ever to buy a Topic bar with no hazelnuts in it at all. This was a joke based on the bar’s 1980s advertising slogan which claimed there was “a hazelnut in every bite”. In another episode, when Rimmer is trying to chat with Lister to distract him from thinking about food, he states that he “can’t think of another topic” – prompting the response “don’t talk about Topics, they’re food!”
