The fabled White Twix - right in front of your face.
I'd heard legends of the White Twix before - whispered on street corners or loudly discredited in branches of Thorntons - but no one had actually ever seen one.
But this, found by my friend Becks in an east London newsagent, is all too real.
On this evidence, it seems to have been smuggled in from the Netherlands:
Those crazy Dutch! I knew they were free-thinking sex drug maniacs, but a Twix with WHITE CHOCOLATE?!
Anything goes over there doesn't it?
Back when I worked in the Coco Pops
Needless to say, white chocolate is rubbish - there's a reason why there's not a single successful white chocolate bar / cereal / cream-cheese based spread. Have you ever met anybody that likes white chocolate who isn't a baby? No.
But if any chocolate bar could survive the conversion to white, it would be the all conquering Twix, voted Gobble Monkey Best Chocolate Bar from 1994-2011*
SO LET'S FIND OUT.
Like all albinos, the white Twix is normal and should be treated as such. But look, it's milky skin is so light you can almost see through it!
The taste? Well, imagine a standard Twix but covered with white chocolate instead of milk chocolate, and you're pretty much there.
Sadly, here the Twix's two-finger USP is rendered redundant - there's no point in have two fingers of white twix. One will always be enough before the sickly white chocolate taste over stays its welcome.
I'm fairly sure it is still highly illegal to import these from Holland, but if you hang around the right newsagents, you may be able to get your hands on one. They're normally under the counter, but just give the shopkeeper a wink and ask to see the specials. Why not give it a try? You could always give the second finger to a friend or a passing baby.
White Twix, Mars Nederland

*except 2001 when a shock result saw a Kinder Bueno taking the top slot. I don't know what happened there.
I would love to find this! Being an East London resident, i will keep my eyes peeled. I loved the white choc Kit Kat chunky, so this should be my kind of sickly snack!
ReplyDeletethere gorgeous
ReplyDeleteI'm not a baby and I /adore/ White Chocolate. It really depends on what type of White Chocolate you get, a lot of things claiming to be White Chocolate aren't actually White Chocolate, an illustration provided on my own blog; http://jadetora.blogspot.com/2012/04/walgreens-white-wonder.html
ReplyDeleteThere's good White Chocolate and then there's disgusting shite 'White Chocolate' that usually isn't and just calls itself White Chocolate.
I'm glad these are doing the rounds again, I've always been partial to them. I'd also like to see a return of the dark chocolate Twix.
ReplyDeleteOh my god, they finally made white chocolate coco pops. (They're terrible.)
