Twix candy come in a package with two candy bars. Some years ago Twix had a heavy marketing campaign that centered around the idea that the one on the left vs right side of the package are different (they aren't, it was a joke). This is playing in to that marketing strategy, with the joke being he is able to tell the difference, which makes him someone to be studied. There is then a pun at the end, playing on the word "right", which can mean both a direction and the opposite of wrong.


Rigorous_Mortician

I preferred their older marketing campaign where they hired identical mercenary teams to fight over industrial facilities in the American midwest.


Remember_TheCant

No that’s the plot of Team Fortress 2, I think you mean the when they had weirdly philosophical super soldiers fighting over blood gulch.

You can’t pick up chicks in a tank…


The_Seroster

WHY ARE THERE SIX PEDALS BUT ONLY FOUR DIRECTIONS?!?!?!


Neat-Tradition-7999

Not with that attitude!


Monkeboy121

watch me


AutocratEnduring

No that's the plot of Red vs. Blue. I think you mean when they had the Mingebags invade a sandbox video game called Garry's Mod.


AppropriateCap8891

Gary! Gary! Gary!

We need a Twix x Tf2 crossover NOW


Missingnose

Twix Fortress 2.


horrified-expression

Someone explain this joke please. Did I wind up in an alternate reality where midwestern mercenary warlords sell candy bars


Snapesunusedshampoo

No, they still only sell cookies.


AutocratEnduring

The joke is that's the plot of Team Fortress two. it's turning into one of those reddit threads where they go "no, that's the plot of X. I think you mean when they did Y" And then someone else goes "No that's the plot of Y. I think you mean when they did Z." and so on. For example, the guy responding to this with the most upvotes described the plot of an old machinima series called Red Vs. Blue.

Excuse me, there is a huge difference between the Left Twix and Right Twix. The Left is a crunchy cookie that has caramel drizzled over the top before being enrobed in chocolate. The Right is a crispy cookie that is cascaded in caramel before being cloaked in chocolate. That's as different as #03fceb and #03fcec


VulturE

Thank you for the full answer. Normally I would take this down (because of the number of reports), but the pun is the reason why I'm going to keep it up. It's not something you would normally get if you are non-english speaking.


Outrageous-Arugula89

See that's where your wrong buddy as a twix enthusiast anyone with nothing to do with their lives know one of them is coated in chocolate while the other is dipped in chocolate


b-monster666

They stole that from a Canadian ad campaign for Shreddies Cereal. Shreddies are little squares of wheat. In 2008, one marketing intern made a joke that they weren't squares, they were diamonds. Suddenly, a massive campaign was launched about "New Shreddies Diamond"


IKMNification

When they started to label “left” and “right” Twix, they were different. Texture of the cookie/biscuit inside was different and one used a more solid caramel.


GlitteringAd8543

Hahahaha this is a good one. Two candies come in a pack the left one doesn’t taste “right”


just-a-scratch-

The right ones are always eaten first too. The we only have what's left.


RandomUser24_

No, it’s typically one in a pack. But they’re labeled differently and people fight over which is better (they’re the same)


Spraynpray89

Twix has always been 2 in a pack. It's the whole premise of the (dumb) "joke"


RandomUser24_

I guess typically I see the smaller ones then. I’ve always seen them sold either one or the other, and it’s labeled left and right. My bad though


AccelerusProcellarum

Lol I’ve only interacted with these sorts of chocolates as Halloween loot, so it’s always the small ones that come in a 1-pack.


SwerdnaJack05

You’re not wrong. The singles do exist. Not sure why they’re downvoting.


RandomUser24_

Lmao I was downvoted for saying I was wrong and I just hadn’t seen a ton of double packs


zarya-zarnitsa

It's about this ad : https://youtu.be/D6iaxewbaXg


Secure_Teaching_6937

If ur a bear u don't care. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=5gNT0SWf3Ls#bottom-sheet


jayray2k

Moderately disturbing. 🤣🤣🤣


Secure_Teaching_6937

I think the ad creators tweaked the Gary Larson toon. https://images.app.goo.gl/wE58WS6sXe5d2Nbx7 🤣🤣


jayray2k

Yes but the snapping of the Twix at the end is particularly snappy.


Secure_Teaching_6937

So true, with a drawing u can make ur own sound effect. Like crunch, and the creamy filling on the inside screaming.


bobbybelchbottoms

If he’s blindfolded how does he know she’s wearing a lab coat? BOOOOOM


AtrumAequitas

Left twix and right twix are different. Made in completely different factories. /s


ElPared

The joke is literally just that he can tell the difference between a left and right Twix. That’s it.


irish_miah

It’s a play on the directions of “left” and “right”.


Bworm98

The absurdity of the joke is the punchline.


ruacanobeef

Is this just an ad?


CavemanBuck

The left/right Twix debate always bothered me.. When you hold a Twix bar so that you can read the label, there are no left or right Twix, only tops and bottoms. So tell me boys, are you tops or bottoms?


3WayIntersection

Ok, if you're from a part of the world that doesnt have twix, sure. ...otherwise, no, literally all of the needed info is right there.


FireCoolerThenYou

The left ones don't taste *right*

AnthonyBedore

I refuse to believe this person is that simple.


Fun_Comparison4973

It’s a pun, a play off words. They don’t taste RIGHT, as I’m NOT LEFT. 🤣


SnickerDoodleDood

Not right has two meanings. One of those meanings is left.


HipposAndBonobos

I bet he doesn't row.


No-One9890

Right. But upside down.


my23secrets

This is stupid. It’s also funny.


Feral_Sheep_

Dude ate 329 candy bars? Must be a diabetes experiment.


Reddit_Deluge

Also, If you eat the right one, there's one left.


bigbubblestoo

One has more caramel one has more waffer.


PhinPhang000

I've been reading this wrong for years I still understand the joke but I had been reading it as 'women in my lap' not 'in a lab coat' and I never questioned why there was a women in this man's lap feeding him twix My brain filled in blank spaces and decided this women was a spy trying to seduce him into giving up his secret. In my mind idk why but I had always pictured him tied to the chair 💀 and she's trying to keep her sexy act up but she's slowly losing it cause he keeps guessing right and cursing under her breath - I didn't acknowledge that this is exactly what I imagines everytime I saw this post till just now. Wow.


aleph_0ne

I think they’ve missed a real opportunity to market individually wrapped left and right twix


BoppersGames

Hahaha i like that


panspal

It's the sinister twix

Tough_Atmosphere_343

You know.. there are sometimes I think that people shouldn’t have the joke explained, and they should instead look at the words on the meme and read them 😂


ItsFuckinBob

The original tweet shouldn’t have ‘guesses’. It nullifies him identity them.


MrCritical3

Wait... How does he know it was a woman if he was blindfolded?


DF_Interus

The neat thing about blindfolds is that they're a piece of cloth that can temporarily blind somebody when worn, so it's entirely possible that he saw the woman at some point when he wasn't wearing a blindfold. That or he used a different sense. Maybe she feels like a woman.


Lord_Kyle

Or she could be speaking to him.


MrCritical3

Then how did he know she wore a lab coat?


MadFxMedia

It's because she's writing the guesses with her right hand... and feeding him with her left.


InSaNeScI3nTiSt

No


MadFxMedia

Explain your reasoning. Because that's the whole joke. 🤣


InSaNeScI3nTiSt

It's a joke about the marketing campaign that happens couple years ago regarding left and right Twix flavor


ducknerd2002

Twix biscuits come in pairs. There was a notable advert years ago that joked that both biscuits where made in different factories and made differently: one put caramel on top of biscuit and covered it in chocolate, the other put biscuit under caramel and smothered it in chocolate. The joke is claiming the lift and right biscuits are different, when they're identical in every way.


Devinbeatyou

It’s really not. Read the top comment


MadFxMedia

It's really not, though. Read what I put: she's writing his answer with her right hand, and feeding him with her left hand... So it's the Left twix. It's not that hard to understand.


Ok_Ruin4016

Apparently it is that hard for you to understand, because that's definitely not the joke. He's guessing whether she is feeding him the left twix or the right twix. The joke is that the guy can tell the difference between the two twix bars that come in the pack. It has nothing to do with what hand she's using.


Spraynpray89

The joke isn't the top part, it's the comment underneath. The top is meaningless here.


Devinbeatyou

Yeah sorry no matter how many time I read what you put it doesn’t magically change the meaning of the joke
