💡 What's interesting

Culturally, the Twix is famous for its 'Left Twix vs. Right Twix' marketing campaign, which humorously personified the two bars in a fictional sibling rivalry. Nutritionally, its unique texture comes from the combination of a shortbread-like biscuit and a soft, chewy caramel layer.
