Twisties Blue?

September 5, 2024 9:16 AM

So I bought a pack of "Twist of Fate" Twisties here in Melbourne AU - and the packaging tells you to "open the Meta Filter".

(the Meta Filter in question is an Instagram fortune-telling filter. The link is to my photo of the package.)

It's a straight world without Metafilter Twisties?

For the web-search averse, Twisties is a primarily Australian corn-based snack food product, typically available in Cheese or Chicken flavours.

In Europe they are marketed as Fonzies

Look, you can't be posting this kinda stuff without a full review of the flavor and what other flavor options there are! Educate us about the glory of Twisties!

Brandon Blatcher: the flavour was...fine? It's a bit like weakened sweet & sour sauce, a touch vinegary. 3 out of 5.

(they either don't make Twisties like they used to - the Malaysian ones I grew up with felt more robust - or my memory's just making things seem more intense than they actually were)

THey sat together in the pack,
A yellow corn based salty snack,
All together on the rack
In the junk food aisle at Coles.
In cheese or chicken roles.
Like a dish of beans on a plaaaaate!
Overthought, like a mefi twistie fate
