Why was the Milky Way named after a chocolate bar?

@Yulianna The TMO has the final decision, suck it up.

@KiwiBird TMO... tongue most often? 😏

@Yulianna A precursor.

@KiwiBird 🤗

@KiwiBird Stary Stary night? Rhyming with Airy Airy night? I don't think that would sound right if that guy who sang that "Vincent" song (Don McLean, wasn't it?) sang it like that. Lol :)

@BijouPleasurette Blue and Grey....interesting Chocolate choice.

@Yulianna The Romans were however obsessed with mammary glands....they named it “via lactea” but they just stole that of the Greeks who had already named it "galaxias kyklos" maybe after the areola. IDK.

Ironically the guy who invented the milky way was called. Frank Mars. 😂😂😂

@KiwiBird i don't think we have moved on much from romans... or greeks. i mean, how did those people live in all those ruins?

@Emosaur Best Answer.
