Originally, it had three pieces in one package, flavored chocolate, strawberry and vanilla; hence the name, which was derived from the 1844 novel The Three Musketeers by Alexandre Dumas.

Costing five cents when it was introduced, it was marketed as one of the largest chocolate bars available, one that could be shared by friends.
