The popular treat, manufactured by Mars, consists of two bars of caramel shortbread biscuit coated in chocolate, packaged in a gold wrapper with “Twix” written in red.
The chocolate bar came to the US in 1979 and has been a popular fixture in the candy section ever since. However, the meaning behind its name isn’t common knowledge, apparently., user Fooji tweeted at Twix, asking: “I read that “Twix” is short for ‘twin biscuit sticks.’ Can you confirm or deny this?”“It’s short for ‘twin sticks,'” they explained.
According to the chef, while it may seem natural to snap off one of the chocolate pyramids to snack on, the correct way is to bend two pieces towards each other until they snap — then enjoy the sweet treat.
