Bloody hell!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I have been told to look in Morrisons, Netto or Tesco.
MUST FIND MUST FIND MUST FIND
There’s only going to be one shipment of Twix Dark so don’t hang about. Once they’re gone, they’re gone! You won’t be able to find these little beauties in the newsagents, it’s a supermarket only affair.

Post by: goldencup on August 16, 2008, 08:07:12 am: I saw them a couple of weeks ago but was not impressed. Bring back the Twix 'double choc' or whatever it was called - the one with the chocolate biscuit inside.

Post by: paulham on August 16, 2008, 10:36:19 am: You saw them? Does that mean you tried them?

Post by: goldencup on August 16, 2008, 04:30:22 pm: No, it means I saw them.

Title: Re: Twix Dark
Post by: chocadmin on August 16, 2008, 07:51:09 pm: :( Seems to take ages to get things here down south.
I'm always checking supermarkets for new products (got penguin wafer early on but got distracted before I put up a posting about it - sorry). I suspect it'll be at least another week before these appear near me.
Bit odd that it hasn't been mentioned in the news anywhere.

Post by: lorri on August 16, 2008, 08:48:11 pm: i have 4 pks in fridge (bought in Tesco`s), they are lovely ;D
Title: Re: Twix Dark
Post by: kevvosa on August 19, 2008, 11:22:28 am: Ive had the dark Twix and they are lovely. One of the best Twixes Ive tasted along with white chocolate. Strangely Ive always found the milk choc version very boring and cheap tasting.

Can anyone lend ol jim a hand?

Grrr still not been able to find the Cappucino :-[

Post by: smurfboy on August 23, 2008, 11:43:34 am: Where did you hear about Twix Cappucino? I can find no evidence of its existence.

Did you not look at chat?
Title: Re: Twix Dark
Post by: paulham on August 23, 2008, 11:50:48 am: Do a google search it comes up a few times.
Title: Re: Twix Dark
Post by: kevvosa on September 02, 2008, 11:03:14 am: Twix Cappucino is in quite a few cheap shops at the mo, 5 bars for a pound. Nothing to wet yourself over though.
Title: Re: Twix Dark
Post by: smurfboy on September 02, 2008, 02:04:40 pm: They had it in the Big Apple at a similar price. My pants are dry.

Post by: paulham on September 29, 2008, 08:22:54 pm: This product really hasn't been marketed very well, if at all.
Why bother launching it?
Title: Re: Twix Dark
Post by: loulou on September 29, 2008, 11:07:52 pm: I don't want one so you can have mine if you find it.

I think you should email Mars and ask them.
Title: Re: Twix Dark
Post by: paulham on September 30, 2008, 05:52:51 pm: I asked them why they didn't tell me about them when they were launched.

No reply.
Title: Re: Twix Dark
Post by: loulou on September 30, 2008, 07:04:36 pm: Because you are unimportant.
Title: Re: Twix Dark
Post by: paulham on September 30, 2008, 07:38:57 pm: Oh, they'll remember me if I get a food complaint to investigate.
Title: Re: Twix Dark
Post by: paulham on November 07, 2008, 07:45:39 pm: These Twix are going cheap at Morrisons now.
You know what that means?
Goodbye!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :(

Post by: Jim@Chocolatemission on November 08, 2008, 12:33:18 am: shame! I liked them!

I thought they were limited edition anyway?
Title: Re: Twix Dark
Post by: paulham on November 08, 2008, 09:35:10 pm: Damn limited if they're selling them off on the cheap!
Mars won't entertain a permanent line now.
Title: Re: Twix Dark
Post by: kevvosa on November 13, 2008, 12:18:55 pm: Really they should have gone down the 'dark Kitkat' route and launched them as a countline with advertising.
Title: Re: Twix Dark
Post by: paulham on November 13, 2008, 05:19:32 pm: Absolutely.
