46 free Chocolate Bars trivia questions with answers — food & drink quiz, new questions added Sep 2026.
Every chocolate bar has a story, and most of them are stranger than the adverts. Snickers was named after a horse, Milky Way after a milkshake, Baby Ruth (officially) after a president's daughter, and the Ritter Sport is square because Clara Ritter wanted a bar that fitted a sports jacket pocket. This quiz covers the famous bars of Britain, America and beyond, from Fry's Chocolate Cream of 1866, the oldest bar brand still made, to Kinder Bueno and the Wispa comeback. Expect questions on who makes what and where, the year the KitKat wrapper went blue, why Twix was Raider in Europe and Snickers was Marathon in Britain, what Toblerone's name means, the Yorkie trucker, the Freddo that was nearly a mouse, the 99 Flake, the Wonka Bar that Quaker Oats built a film to sell, and the 1938 US law that keeps Kinder Surprise off American shelves. Australia, Canada, New Zealand, Sweden and Germany get their bars in too. Every answer was checked against Wikipedia's articles on the individual bars and the companies behind them, so the launch dates, makers and name origins are reliable.
