Twix in Singapore and abroad
Smootie said:
Question 1: What is the difference between Twix bars in US and UK?Twix bars sold in the US are far too sweet. A mouthful of sugar with every bite, or as my Math teacher used to say when reading our answer scrips, "Stops your heart first thing in the morning". The cookie and the caramel are also not cohesive - the taste does not meld together with the chocolate into one delightful crescendo in your mouth. It's as though all the separate ingredients are calling out "Look at me! Look at me!", and your tongue gets all confused.
Question 2: Why is Twix not popular in Singapore?
Recommended by The Screwy Skeptic: "I never knew that candy bars had different recipes in different countries. Food for thought. [Also, Smoot's writing is just really entertaining.]"
