Joking aside, very interesting

Not sure if I like having sausage in my Milky Way

I don't know. Have you ever had bacon chocolate chip cookies? Pretty good.

I thought it was pretty well known that galaxies are pulled apart, merge, get reformed as other galaxies. I wouldn't be surprised if the Milky Way had some old, left-overs in it.

Mars bar was cancelled in America but exists in Canada and the UK

I ordered some on line and learned that the current alien Mars bars are closer to the American Milkey Way than the classic American Mars candy bar.

This difference may account for the speculative age of the galaxy

Since the Milky Way galaxy has been accreting for untold ages and is in fact still in a formative accretive state, it cannot actually be given an age.
