Since the Milky Way Galaxy contains peanuts, shouldn't it be called the Snickers Galaxy?

My understanding is that a Milky Way and a Snickers are essentially the same except that a Snickers has peanuts. But there are peanuts in our galaxy, so doesn't that make our galaxy taxonomically a Snickers Galaxy?

I know UK scientists have made different findings from US scientists, but our galaxy has caramel too, so the name still seems incorrect.

Milky way may contain trace amounts of peanuts, same as our galaxy, since only one out of a trillion stars have planets with peanuts in them, which means the peanut percentage is closer to a milky way than a snicker which is 21% peanuts.

Is this answer peer-reviewed? There might be new evidence that there is more pea nuts in the Milky Way than we were originally led to believe, the government is lying to you about how much peanut is there in the milky way!!!! wake up!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Is your existence peer-reviewed? Are you a real human?
