I love candy bars. I also love the smell of gas, which has led to some loitering at gas stations and an insuing restraining order, but that's beside the point. Candy bars are delicious, and they are enjoyed almost everywhere. Here are some popular candy bars from around the world.

Orion, also called the "blue star," is the major player in candy bars.

ReplyDeleteWell, the "Jet" Chocolate bar is indeed the most popular candy bar in Colombia.
ReplyDeleteIt not only tastes good but it can also be bought for a really low price. It can be found in different flavors such as watermelon, citrus explosion, and more.
