There’s something strange about Mounds bars and Almond Joy bars (both made by Mars. Inc.)
For those not familiar with these candies, Mounds is dark chocolate over coconut, whereas Almond Joys are milk chocolate over coconut and almonds. But it seems to me that there are two permutations that are missing.
Consider this table:
| Type of chocolate | Almonds? | Name |
| Dark | No | Mounds |
| Dark | Yes | ? |
| Milk | No | ? |
| Milk | Yes | Almond Joy |
Is there something about milk chocolate that makes it preferable if almonds are present? Do almond-haters prefer dark chocolate? The logic of having only two choices (not four) escapes me.
Now, it turns out there actually is a milk chocolate candy bar with coconut and no almonds: the Bounty. So the table should be:
| Type of chocolate | Almonds? | Name |
| Dark | No | Mounds |
| Dark | Yes | ? |
| Milk | No | Bounty |
| Milk | Yes | Almond Joy |
But Bounty bars are hard to find here in the USA; I have found them at World Market. They are common in the UK and Canada.
I prefer dark chocolate and love almonds. So c’mon, Mars Inc. Get with the program and offer Dark Chocolate Almond Joys!
