@badradger saidRight, the one is not the other. They are distinguished.
Beer means Beer/light ale means light ale/ stout means stout/ lager means larger/ etc
So, don't you think it is useful to distinguish candy from chocolate, too? They are two different species of the genus confectionery.

@moonbus saidOk, it’s the sun, the worse ‘news’paper in the uk but it makes the point Wolfgang already said, we don’t have ‘candy bar’, it’s a completely American term.
I understood you to mean chocolate bars, not candy bars.
Snickers, Mars, Bounty, and co. are candy, not chocolate, bars.
Yorkie, Hershey, Lindt, Toblerone are chocolate bars.

I offer to disambiguate two things which are obviously different, and badradger says 'not in the UK'. Hilarious. So the UK wants to remain ambiguated. Maybe Britain should hold a referendum on that, 'should the UK remain ambiguated?'
So, Rusty, do tell: do Canadians know the difference between candy and chocolate, or are Canadians ambiguated?

@moonbus saidSome in the UK realise that we cannot solve everything with the binary logic of Descartes. The placing of the Tunnock's bars with the biscuits and yet the Jaffa Cake within the biscuits and not the cakes does not in any way represent a mistake. It represents a culture steeped in history and tradition that must be studied in detail to be understood. You would be surprised what we have lived through to end up falling over pi$$ed on the Costa del Sol.

@moonbus saidWe don't call it candy in the UK. We call them sweets. Sweets pretty much covers anything that isn't covered in chocolate. Everything else is chocolate. So what you would call candy bars we do call chocolate bars.

@badradger saidAnd what of Mild or a pint of Mixed. Tradition, culture and warm beer with just a hint of the fluid from when the pipes were cleaned. Only when you have experienced these things can you truly classify chocolate.

@moonbus saidYes useful.

@badradger said"Snakebite" ... had an argument with my wife recently about what that was!
or a black & tan/snakebite/largertop/or the wifebeater.
She used to work in a bar.
I have some considerable knowledge of them.
She said it's strong cider and blackcurrant.
I said it's cider & lager.
We arm-wrestled and decided on cider/lager/blackcurant
