“You know what I miss most about life, Sniv?” Sirius mused.

Snape rolled his eyes. “Shagging Lupin.”

“Apart from that.”

“Shagging Potter.”

“And that.”

“Please do not tell me you miss shagging Wormtail or I shall defy the laws of metaphysics and be violently ill.”

“Mars bars.”

“What?”

“Mars bars. C’mon, Sniv, you’re half Muggle, you must have eaten tons of them.”

“Quite possibly, Black, but I should hardly consider the lack of gooey confectionary to be my greatest regret in the afterlife.”

“Nah, you’re probably right. All right, shagging Moony it is.” Sirius paused, grinning. “With a Mars bar.”

There was a candy bar in America called a Mars bar, but it was completely different from what the British call a Mars bar, which is like our Milky Way bar, which, in turn, is unlike the British Milky Way bar, which is like the American Three Musketeers bar. The American Mars bar had white nougat, almonds, caramel (I think), and was coated in milk chocolate. It was discontinued in 2000 or thereabouts, and a couple of years later the similar-but-not-quite-the-same Snickers Almond hit the American marketplace.

All you really need to know from all that is that Severus, in my Drabbles o' the Week, doesn't care if the American Milky way is similar to the British Mars bar. He wants a REAL Mars bar, and he wants it now. ;-)
