Which popular chocolate bar was called Raider in mainland Europe for many years?
Twix is a chocolate bar made by Mars, Inc., consisting of a biscuit applied with other confectionery toppings and coatings (most frequently caramel and milk chocolate). Twix are packaged with one, two or four bars in a wrapper, the new slogan for Twix is "Try both. Pick a side." Miniature and other variations of Twix bars are also available.
The product was first produced in the United Kingdom in 1967, and introduced in the United States in 1979. Twix was called Raider in mainland Europe for many years before its name was changed in 1991 (2000 in Denmark, Finland, Norway, Sweden and Turkey) to match the international brand name.
In 2014, the company introduced Twix bites.

Is that a right Twix or a left Twix?

Love Twix bars. Can't eat them any more as I am allergic to all grains.

The caramel in the picture is a bit gross. It looks like a tongue.

I didn't realize Twix had been around that long.

perkyposey, I, for one, had no idea what a ‘twix’ looked like. I don’t eat highly processed sugary confections and I have no interest in them.
Rog Rogers
Gee. Thanks for the photo of the correct answer.

Pic gave that one away. Refuse to eat snickers since the name change from marathon. What in Heaven's name are 'snickers ' anyway?

I like all chocolate bars, apart from Hershey.
