Talk:Galaxy (chocolate)

[edit] Counters
During the late 70's Mars produced a rival to the Button and branded them Galaxy Counters. However these were tested in the North West of England only and were found to be unpopular.
Sorry, but I have to disagree with the above. I lived in a tiny village in West Wales throughout the 1970s and we loved them. I now live 350 miles from there - in Durham - and people here also remember them. Bring back Counters!

[edit] Dove
I'd guess that the reason Mars don't use Dove as a brand name for chocolate in the UK is that it's already a well-known brand name for soap. (No trademark issue, but "does it taste of soap?" is not really what you want your customers thinking.) Azz 16:28, 17 March 2007 (UTC)
I live in the PRC, and they have Dove chocolate here. It most certainly isn't the same chocolate as Galaxy found in England, the latter being *much* more creamy. I wonder what evidence there is to justify the statement that Galaxy and Dove are the same product.
