Twix (1970s)

Introduced to the US in 1979, the Twix bar quickly became a beloved addition to the candy aisle. What made it special was its unique combination: a crunchy cookie center, topped with chewy caramel, all enrobed in milk chocolate. This satisfying mix of textures and flavors set it apart. Twix rapidly became a staple, a go-to snack for kids and adults alike, found in lunchboxes, vending machines, and convenience stores everywhere. Its simple, yet perfect, construction of cookie, caramel, and chocolate made it a fondly remembered treat that played a sweet role in everyday life during that era.
