From t'internet.

"Daim Bar was originally called Dajm bar when launched in its native Sweden in the 1950s, and was renamed Dime bar for the British market until 2005! It's now known universally as Daim."

So essentially the same thing.

So essentially the same thing.

I thought they originated somewhere in the South Pacific, where the slogan was:

"There is nothing yo can naim which is anything like a daim".
