twix?

bad for your health, and the whole left/right thing is a sham.




Back in the 80s Twix was called Raider in Germany and, I believe all of continental Europe, up until the early 90s, when they decided to standardise on Twix Europe-wide. So they flooded the airwaves with this rhyming advertisement jingle:

Raider heisst jetzt Twix, sonst ändert sich nix.

(Raider is now known as Twix, nothing else changes.)

Ever since the Twitter/X renaming my brain short circuits and I got this annoying jingle stuck in my head. Twix - harmful even 30 years later.


Tastes like garbage, though.


and yet… some people can’t put the damn thing down. like they have a real problem.

one might call it a disorder. an addiction.
