Vegas Free-for-All - Pretty tough quiz

This is to answer Tony's bonus point question about why the 3 Musketeers bar was named as it was. It was introduced in 1932, and . . .

. . . it had three pieces in one package, flavored chocolate, strawberry and vanilla, hence the name. Rising costs and wartime restrictions on sugar saw the phasing out of the vanilla and strawberry pieces to leave only the more popular chocolate.

I didn't know this off the top of my head, of course, so I'm quoting Wikipedia. Cheating is allowed, right?

OK, so what can I buy with the bonus point, Tony?

I don't think 20 is regular Kit Kat or Twix. I think it's some weird kind of Kit Kat.

No. Wife and I were guessing just like everyone else, we got almost or right about this far but we got stumped and I had to quit staring at them, all the candy was starting to blur togother.

Many years ago, I'd read a survey of favorite candy bars and the Number One favorite candy bar selected, is not on this quiz. Zagnut. How scientific or accurate of survey, I do not know.

the 2nd one looks like a Mars Bar. Not sure they still make those.

In Europe, 17 would be Bounty - which sounds like treasure in every bite.
Whereas, Mounds sounds like something a large dog would do after a heavy meal.

Hmmmm . . . . Just sayin'

I remember when I was a kid....and it wasn't 1932....3 Musketeers advertised that you could break them into three portions and share them with your friends.
