I always wondered why they never make a “double-wide” Twix, making one that’s the size of both in one bar. I wonder if there’d be a negative difference to changing the width as apposed to just the length (fun size for example)

[@1tyrus]

They can do it, it will likely make them blend in with other candy bars

[@zannynyx4297]

I mean it's called twix ... It basically has two in name... They would prolly have to rebrand just for that...

[@smashtrivia3273]

I think less people would buy it in part because the illusion of choice is taken away and also because your brain is more-likely to tell you this is too much candy vs two smaller bars your brain is more-likely to justify it. I feel like honestly if they stopped the left-right twix marketing and did this instead it would be brand suicide.

To get a more accurate "crunchiness" test, you could have performed a standard tensile or bend test, basically determining how much force is required to break a twix bar (though, since twix contain some semisolid-compounds (caramel, chocolate) the strain-rate dependency of the strength would be tricky).

If the people who tasted the bars didn’t drink water or anything to get the Twix taste out of their mouth before eating the second bar, then the test would be biased because if you already eat something sweet and don’t cleanse the pallet, then the next bite will overall be less sweet.

I was in a convenience store the other day and I didn't buy any, but I noticed the labels of both Left Twix and Right Twix packs had different images of the candy bars. I can't remember which, but one of the packs showed a thicker cookie in the candy than the other pack and I thought, well maybe they did make each side different. I didn't really think much of it since I don't buy candy these days because it's too expensive anymore. Remember when candy bars cost only 50 cents?

I've heard from multiple people in my neighborhood that the difference between left and right twix is the ratio of cookie to caramel. If the left was more crunchy, it is perhaps because it has more cookie than caramel than the right.

It seems like it comes down to pressure in the package honestly. The weight of the upper stick slightly affects the lower one, hence there is a bit of a difference.

[@brendandecicio4877]

Hey Matt, I have a theory for you! Sourdough! So I’ve always heard that a sourdough starter will change based off of the natural yeast it picks up from the air. So according to legend, two starters that were broken off from the same starter, fed the exact same amount every week, used in identical recipes, will result in different tasting bread if one of them has been living in a different state for long enough. Fact, or San Francisco marketing ploy???

[@bensmith3890]

Sourdough starter is alive, so yes, it changes over time, unless you try very hard to keep everything identical.

[@claraphillips7900]

Yeast Evolution: in a thousand years, MatPat's 22-greats grandchildren are unfreezing the ancient KZbinr's yeast colony to sequence its DNA and check for mutations in their own yeast. They find that the ancient yeast has almost no genetic modification from wild Earth yeast compared to their space yeast found on Alpha-Centauri-A.

[@PollenYuki]

Man wrote an entire paragraph

[@firebladeentertainment5739]

from my little understanding, this comes from the fact that whenever you use it or its exposed to air, new wild yeast gets mixed into it and that is most definetly different locally you would need to have a testgroup that might have been used in different states but in IDENTICAL Sterile enviroments, where the factor of newly added wild yeast could be eliminated. if theres still a significant difference, you can chuck it up to slight differences in the origin samples taken, measuring errors or even outlandish explanations like the slightly different amount of Gravity exposure you get from being higher or lower relativ to the planets core aswell as how far away from the equator you are, which btw ALSO changes your distance to the core but also how much of the earths planetary moment you experience. I might be completelly wrong here, i just went with my existing knowledge and intuition on this question. btw, the plants used for the flour also make a major difference, example i experienced myself is that you cannot make a good baguette with german flour, never like the french do it, cause both countries use different species of wheat for their flour, resulting in different types of bread. havent done a good test series on this but from what i can tell, french made baguette is innatelly dried but becomes stale slower than german made baguettes, which initially are much softer and "juicier" than their french counterparts but turn stale faster! also they taste different. I still prefer the german made version, i like my bread soft and squishy.

I then came to a hypothesis that the 50/50 im getting is probably linked to grabbing Right vs Left. My conclusion became 100% certain that Left Twix tasted more like a cookie and Right Twix tasted more like a Chocolate bar. Looking into sources online, I found out the Twix bars recipes were placed differently. When I made a statement to a group of friends that I like Left Twix more, they said there isnt any difference.... and it made me rethink my conclusion. After buying a bag of Twix, I failed the blind taste test but I also kept them solid cold in the fridge making them both taste crunchy like a cookie... After watching this video, Im still not sure if there is a difference. Coke and Pepsi are very easy to tell the difference. But idk if the Twix bars have a distinct taste difference like that.... Its something I keep testing, but get inconsistent results

They all taste like chocolate peanuts to me, and I don't like chocolate peanuts. Sometimes they're stale, I guess. I knoq a guy who loves them, even wanted the bar that was in the fridge for almost a whole summer

[@abigailwright8492]

@@jadaljaser335 and I did not know that 😅 perhaps they taste that way because they're always so close to other peanut candy in the store? And is it made more like a kit Kat then?

Coke and Pepsi are not that different

[@MagicXRoads534]

I tried to learn a lot time ago what, if anything, the difference was, but I clearly had (and probably still have) a long way to go as a scientist, because my method was just to take a bite of each and compare the cross-sections, which apparently meant I missed the evenly spaced dots, leading to the false belief that one had a groove down the middle which meant more caramel, which if you ask me sounds like a much better way to fuel the debate than by creating lore that you're going to forget.

[@someoneshiny]

where I live the twix side difference has become so rampent that there's an ongoing placebo effect that the two sides actually taste different and i fell for it. but its also really funny

[@noi-he]

right has a lighter feeling whereas left hits more thicker. I ate opposite and came to this conclusion due to it saying RIGHT or LEFT. If you want a thicker with a decent crunch then go left and if you want a more lighter hit with a lessened crunch go right. Regarding ice cream bars... you have a more cookie with right and more creamy and choclatey flow with the left. The question is why is the left different in terms of sound and thickness compared to the right bar?

I've been saying for years now, YEARS, that left twix is superior. Ever since they started that whole thing, every time I've gotten a twix that was broken before I unwrapped it, it has been a right twix package and I've never had any broken left twix.

Considering other things many adults will take from strangers, I suspect adults are willing to be less careful than kids in many ways.

Thank you for this vid. I am actually wathcing this before eating my twix bar which is right in front of me.

[@baconhairman]

WOW ITS THE THE 2ND BAR DOESNT HIT AS MUCH AS THE FIRST ONE. WOW MATPAT YOU CHANGED MY DAY!!! Or is it just a placebo?

[@minnion2871]

It could just be that the "Crunch" has less to do with freshness and more to do with air? (Maybe the weight of the "left" Twix ended up pressing down on the lower bar compressing it and affecting the crunch?)

[@megauser8512]

Maybe!

[@the4spaceconstantstetraqua886]

Or moisture.

[@kennyholmes5196]

Now, *here's* a chaotic evil move: Instead of left or right, it's close/far. And if you wanna do the CE move, pick the close half of both sticks. And I don't mean along the small half. I mean _split the bars themselves parallel to the longest axis._ [EDIT]: the "residual moisture" hypothesis seems to be the most logical explanation for why the upper/left twix is louder, IMO.

[@weirdidiot1237]

9:04 maybe the right one was being compresed by the left twix and mayde was quieter becouse it was denser
