And where does the Galaxy Ripple fit into this hellscape.

Only the crumbliest, flakiest chocolate tastes like chocolate never tasted before. That’s the point of a Flake.

But if you’re happy with chocolate that tastes secondhand then sure by all means have a Twirl.

Ripple is in my opinion the top tier one although I only ever see it now in 4 packs and that means the pack is treated as one snack for me.

The flake came first so the question should be what’s the point in the twirl when the flake exists

The Flake is the Twirl 0.1 beta, before they fixed the chocolate shard issue in an update.

It’s all about the crumbs.

Flakes were “invented” by a worker picking the accumulated chocolate off the part of a machine where the conveyer belt ended and the chocolate got scraped off at the end.

Twix was invented by a Scottish granny who wrote a letter to Mars saying she melted Mars bars over her shortbread fingers and everyone loved them.

Twirls are superior though, unless you’re eating a flake in a bath and the crumb catastrophe can be ignored.

Firstly, Galaxy and Cadbury chocolate taste different, so a Ripple and a Twirl which are the same type of product are of different tastes, similar to a Cadbury Dairy Milk bar and a Galaxy bar.

But a flake is different, and not just a naked twirl. Different and increased crumbly texture as well as different type of chocolate, you supposedly can not melt a flake, unlike a twirl which you can.

And Flake always had the better adverts when I was a kid.

In addition to the points above, Flake is a much older product.
