There's a thrill in every bite" is the line that sets this advertisement apart, promising excitement in a small, everyday sweet. The Milky Way bar was created by Frank Mars and introduced in 1923, when packaged candy bars were still a fairly new product sold in shops and at soda fountains. Advertisements of that era often leaned on pleasure and energy to sell sugar, and this one turns a simple bar of nougat and caramel under milk chocolate into something more memorable. It shows how confidently mass-market food was being marketed by the early twentieth century.
