And where does the Galaxy Ripple fit into this hellscape.

Look, sometimes I just want to spaff chocolate shards all over myself whilst I’m eating. And I don’t appreciate being judged for it.

Maybe I like having to lick my finger in order to dab up the mountain of shrapnel that remains in the wrapper. Have you considered that?

Perhaps I actually like eating a treat that sounds like it was named dangerously close to something related to dandruff…

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

It’s all about the crumbs.

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

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.

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.

Because a 99 Twirl sounds ridiculous.

Not as ridiculous as a 99 that costs £1.98

The marketing team didn’t understand basic inflation.
