Ok I’m 20 and I remember when the limited edition white milky ways came out along side the original brown centred one. . . .I’m pretty sure it was between 1993-1995 when they changed.

Do you remember the advert that was about them being lighter than milk? My dad actually tried to float one on milk and it did indeed work. . . .. I was about 8 and very impressed!

I’m not sure if someone has already mentioned this as I haven’t read through every post….

The old Milky Ways were the best (how come no-one remembers them!) and are very similar to the Flyte bars

Well, Im 19 and even I remember the old milky ways, and I definitely also remember the advert when they were changing the middle, and my parents tutted to this. None of my friends believe me when I talk about the ‘old’ milkyways, not even the old ones. Although my parents remember them and definitely agree that they were better. I reckon I must be one of the youngest that can actually remember them!

I totally had to mention on here that the darker centred milky way bars definately used to exist!!!

And I’m pretty sure that Drew is right about the space advert making a point of how the centre had changed to a “lighter, tastier white filling”. But i dont think it was a cartoon, seem to remember it being a regular video clip of a boy.

The original milky way bars were defo more tastey in my opionion - BRING BACK THE OLD MILKY WAY!!!!

All I can say to the people who don’t believe that the inside of a Milky Way used to be light brown is that you are too young. I am fifty and remember them from the 60s. I landed on this web site because I am searching for a graphic of the original dark blue wrapper. It is so many years since I bought a Milky Way that I was surprised to read here that they are now white inside!

Found this blog after doing a google for Milky Way as trying to find the old school Milky Way as hate the new one! Have contacted Mars to ask for them to have both the old one (chocolatey fluffy centre, dark blue wrapper) as well as the new white centred one (as per pic above). A Flyte is very similar and as near to the old milky way but can only buy in a twin bar so eat twice as much!! I think there should be a petition to Mars to bring back the old milky way
