The Ancient Greeks - to them it looked like a stream of milk splashed across the sky.
The Greek word Galaxy is "milk". The name Milky Way Galaxy is derived from the way intra-galaxy dust and clouds appear as they stream across the night sky.
In ancient Greek and Roman myths,it was believed that the goddess hera (juno)split milk across the sky and called the white streak it left "river of milk". The Romans call it ViaLactea or a "road made of milk". This is how our galaxycame to be named the Milky Way.
When Mr. Mars was drinking a malted milk shake he decided to try to make a candy bar that would taste something like it. He concocted a nougat with eggwhites, milk, and flavorings then covered it all with chocolate. Then (drum roll please) the Milky Way was born.
