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]

I feel like having 2 smaller bars is a way to have less in each packet

[@khanmeraj8410]

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

[@Dinidan]

There is. This Easter my kids got some wide egg shaped Twix and they were an awful experience. Almost too hard to bite through and the texture was off.

[@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.

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'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.

[@cancerguy5435]

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.

[@ryanjohnson1071]

Or... Is it deliberate? ;) That's one explanation for sure though. If we knew about the manufacturing process and if they were on different lines then it would stand to reason there is some kind of difference

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???

[@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.

[@LovelyDoe1997]

Its interesting because at work during my break when I didnt get a lunch. I would buy a Twix bar, and I didnt care which side whether it was right or left. and the Twix bars felt like a 50/50 on tasting more like a cookie or tasting more like a chocolate bar. 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

[@jonathanrixstine7231]

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).

[@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!

I love how they’re using random people as test when i feel like everyone was taught to not take candy from strangers

Not a stranger when its famous

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

[@lordfawful2329]

Once, I asked a friend, "You've got Twix, right?" and offered him a dollar for one. Everybody in the immediate vicinity unanimously screamed at me, "TWIX LEFT, OR TWIX RIGHT?!" To which, somebody else screamed, "WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE?!" Glorious chaos.

[@rileypoynter2223]

Twix’s whole marketing strategy plays on the fact that everybody knows that there probably isn’t a significant difference between the two Twix bars. And that’s the key, “probably”. Their strategy is based on the fact that consumers will keep purchasing Twix bars in the hope that they will be the ones to find that true difference, the difference, not in packaging, but in creation. Their marketing plays on the very concept of hope, the feeling or desire for something to happen, in this case, solving the mystery of the differences between the two Twix bars.

[@Yipper64]

8:55 so basically tops are better than bottoms. I see how it is.

[@vonigner]

Twix sizes have also shrunk a lot of size... but the price didn't change. Same for a lot of different candy bars (Bounty, Mars, Sneakers...) they went from 50g to 42g or so.

[@keepermovin5906]

Inflation has hit pretty much every product, however, due to people not wanting to spend much on candy they make the candy smaller instead of raising the price. Good marketing unfortunate for candy lovers.

[@jeremyzapsmash]

yup, Mattpatt has an episode on "shrinkflation" called, "They're stealing you food!"

[@CotoDudeDoingMinecraft]

There is a slight hue difference in the right Twix bars in the editing sequences. Good job to you, editor 😊 Edit: Fixed typo lol

Follow up experiment: How long does a package need to be upside down for the "top" status to be moved from one bar to the other?

When the bottom one starts to like it.

[@rainadarkstorm5888]

Absolutely love food theory and all the theory channels!!! Wondering if Matpat can help settle a huge debate in my household. Is cheesecake a cake or a pie? I think it could be a great future video.

[@juliajohnson4080]

Frankly, I think it’s more of a pie. It doesn’t have flour or leavening like an ordinary cake. And it has a crust like a pie. But I’d be interested in seeing matpat’s take on it!

[@rainadarkstorm5888]

I totally agree but my brother insists it's a cake so I figured I'd see if matpat could shed some light on the subject.

[@anieldevans8056]

I just realised with the packaging for 'Two right' and 'Two left' the text is on opposite sides. Meaning, with the text at the top, the 'different' 'Twix' as it were...would be on the same side

[@rolyat]

While you say "top" and "bottom" could be a factor in the crunchiness, in all of the boxes of Twix I have seen (and bought many, many delicious Twix from) they are shipped flat, with the label facing up.

[@Chigger]

Same here, based on the deliveries my workplace gets.

[@veronicathebanana704]

The difference between left and right Twix is one has more Carmel the other has more cookie.

[@legacyofthe243]

This is just me being completely obsessed with numbers and how they work out perfectly even sometimes but I appreciate the 208 bars you bought. That works out to being a one Twix every wk of the yr for exactly 4 yrs straight.

I’ve had an idea for a food theory, is eating ice bad for you? I’ve always wanted to know and if you guys haven’t talked about this, I think it’s a good idea for a food theory. Just a thought, love your videos!

It depend, a generql rule of thumbs for some places is to avoid ice due they're made with fosset water. If you mean for the image x drink + ice it hurt your y i dunno

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? Now you are lucky to find any for less than $2, especially from convenience stores and gas stations.

[@thymewizard]

Another possibility for the crispiness could be the seal on the back of the package. It's really the only thing asymmetric about the wrapper, so that might contribute (although how I have no idea)

[@niklasneighbor6726]

on the taste test: since right-twix people eat the right twix first and vise versa you will get supporting evidence that you are right when eating twix since your preferred side (the one you ate first) always tastes better

[@pinkgirl294]

Twix is one of the best chocolate brand. Both left and right Twix are the same, but I love both equally

[@TheRobloxNewbieIsHere]

that ad that showed up said " has anyone tried one of our right twix bars." "Why our special cookie cascaded with caramel."
