Name That Creamy Nougat

Can you tell a Mars Bar from a Milky Way? Or a Mounds from a 3 Musketeers? There’s a Web site that can help improve your candy IQ (https://www.sci.mus.mn.us/sln/tf/c/crosssection/namethatbar.html).

The site (if you ever get there) challenges users to identify 24 milk chocolate bars from their caramel-coated, nougat-filled and peanut-type cross-sections. Make a guess, then click on the image to see if you are right.

Some (the Twix and Snickers) are easier than others, like the elusive Aero and Skor bars. But here’s a sweet hint: The Charleston Chew and the Nestle’s Crunch are not represented, so don’t mistake any of the choices for one of these.

Besides making your stomach rumble, “Name That Candybar” does have another purpose. It demonstrates the principle of a cross-section. The game was created by the Thinking Fountain, an educational Web site run by the Science Museum of Minnesota.
