    Twix was called Raider in many european countries, above all all german speaking countries, don’t ask me why. When they got renamed to Twix in 1991 about 70% of all countries that offered the bar already called it Twix.

    The renaming happened with the slogan “Raider heißt jetzt Twix, … sonst ändert sich nix” broadly “Raider is now called Twix, … nothing else changes”

    The Slogan ofcourse was used by many german speaking comedians and satirists when it came to Twitter… “Twitter heißt jetzt X, … sonst ändert sich nix.”, with the added bonus that a lot changed, for the worse, underlining Muskian lies.

      Oooh so there’s actually much more to it than meets the eye! Damn. Thanks for taking the time to explain :-)

      I bet this information will be mixed with my COVID fever dreams and is going to remain lodged in my brain as core knowledge somehow forever :P
