Came across quite the interesting little feature out on time.com :
THE 13 MOST INFLUENTIAL CANDY BARS OF ALL TIME
The list (no particular order):
WONKA BAR
MILKY WAY
BABY RUTH
NESTLÉ CRUNCH
CADBURY MILK CHOCOLATE
SCHARFFEN BERGER
GRENADA CHOCOLATE
CHICKEN DINNER
SNICKERS
NESTLÉ MILK CHOCOLATE
TOBLERONE
HERSHEY'S MILK CHOCOLATE
KIT KAT
I'd not heard of the 3 marked in italics before.
And how/why did Kit Kat (one of my favorites) make the list?
Beyond being the first candy bar to be marketed around sharing, which helped turn chocolate into a social snack, Kit Kat was also the first to gain a global following. Whereas Hershey's and Cadbury cornered different markets with similar products, the wafer-filled Kit Kats launched in both Europe and the U.S. before entering Australia, Asia and Africa—paving the way for other blockbuster bars like Snickers and Butterfinger.
