<P> The Milky Way bar was created in 1923 by Frank C. Mars and originally manufactured in Minneapolis, Minnesota . The name and taste were taken from a famed malted milk drink (milkshake) of the day, which was in turn named after the Earth's galaxy . </P> <P> On March 10, 1925, the Milky Way trademark was registered in the U.S., claiming a first - use date of 1922 . In 1924, the Milky Way bar was introduced nationally and sold $800,000 that year . The chocolate for the chocolate coating was supplied by Hershey's . </P> <P> By 1926 it came out in two flavors, chocolate nougat with milk chocolate coating, and vanilla nougat with a dark chocolate coating, each for a nickel . In June 1932, the Milky Way bar was sold as a two piece bar, but just four years later, in 1936, the chocolate and vanilla were separated . The vanilla version, with a dark chocolate coating, was called "Forever Yours" and it was produced until 1979 . In 1989, Forever Yours was reintroduced and renamed "Milky Way Dark," and later "Milky Way Midnight". </P> <P> In 1935, the slogan was "The sweet you can eat between meals ." It was then changed to "At work, rest and play, you get three great tastes in a Milky Way ." By 2006 the US slogan was "Comfort in every bar ." and most recently became "Life's Better the Milky Way ." </P>
