Have you ever thought about why a certain fluffy candy bar is called a 3 Musketeers? Imagine that you’ve never heard of this product. Or that, like my friend’s niece, you’re four years old. “What is that?” she asked me, looking at the famous candy bar. “I don’t know,” I pretended. “What do you think ...
