      I think less people would buy it in part because the illusion of choice is taken away and also because your brain is more-likely to tell you this is too much candy vs two smaller bars your brain is more-likely to justify it. I feel like honestly if they stopped the left-right twix marketing and did this instead it would be brand suicide.

    If the people who tasted the bars didn’t drink water or anything to get the Twix taste out of their mouth before eating the second bar, then the test would be biased because if you already eat something sweet and don’t cleanse the pallet, then the next bite will overall be less sweet.

    To get a more accurate "crunchiness" test, you could have performed a standard tensile or bend test, basically determining how much force is required to break a twix bar (though, since twix contain some semisolid-compounds (caramel, chocolate) the strain-rate dependency of the strength would be tricky).

    I was in a convenience store the other day and I didn't buy any, but I noticed the labels of both Left Twix and Right Twix packs had different images of the candy bars. I can't remember which, but one of the packs showed a thicker cookie in the candy than the other pack and I thought, well maybe they did make each side different. I didn't really think much of it since I don't buy candy these days because it's too expensive anymore. Remember when candy bars cost only 50 cents? Now you are lucky to find any for less than $2, especially from convenience stores and gas stations.

    Hey Matt, I have a theory for you! Sourdough! So I’ve always heard that a sourdough starter will change based off of the natural yeast it picks up from the air. So according to legend, two starters that were broken off from the same starter, fed the exact same amount every week, used in identical recipes, will result in different tasting bread if one of them has been living in a different state for long enough. Fact, or San Francisco marketing ploy???

      from my little understanding, this comes from the fact that whenever you use it or its exposed to air, new wild yeast gets mixed into it and that is most definetly different locally
      you would need to have a testgroup that might have been used in different states but in IDENTICAL Sterile enviroments, where the factor of newly added wild yeast could be eliminated.
      if theres still a significant difference, you can chuck it up to slight differences in the origin samples taken, measuring errors or even outlandish explanations like the slightly different amount of Gravity exposure you get from being higher or lower relativ to the planets core aswell as how far away from the equator you are, which btw ALSO changes your distance to the core but also how much of the earths planetary moment you experience.
      I might be completelly wrong here, i just went with my existing knowledge and intuition on this question.
      btw, the plants used for the flour also make a major difference, example i experienced myself is that you cannot make a good baguette with german flour, never like the french do it, cause both countries use different species of wheat for their flour, resulting in different types of bread. havent done a good test series on this but from what i can tell, french made baguette is innatelly dried but becomes stale slower than german made baguettes, which initially are much softer and "juicier" than their french counterparts but turn stale faster! also they taste different.
      I still prefer the german made version, i like my bread soft and squishy.

    I've heard from multiple people in my neighborhood that the difference between left and right twix is the ratio of cookie to caramel. If the left was more crunchy, it is perhaps because it has more cookie than caramel than the right.

    I tried to learn a lot time ago what, if anything, the difference was, but I clearly had (and probably still have) a long way to go as a scientist, because my method was just to take a bite of each and compare the cross-sections, which apparently meant I missed the evenly spaced dots, leading to the false belief that one had a groove down the middle which meant more caramel, which if you ask me sounds like a much better way to fuel the debate than by creating lore that you're going to forget.

    Its interesting because at work during my break when I didnt get a lunch. I would buy a Twix bar, and I didnt care which side whether it was right or left. and the Twix bars felt like a 50/50 on tasting more like a cookie or tasting more like a chocolate bar. I then came to a hypothesis that the 50/50 im getting is probably linked to grabbing Right vs Left. My conclusion became 100% certain that Left Twix tasted more like a cookie and Right Twix tasted more like a Chocolate bar. Looking into sources online, I found out the Twix bars recipes were placed differently. When I made a statement to a group of friends that I like Left Twix more, they said there isnt any difference.... and it made me rethink my conclusion. After buying a bag of Twix, I failed the blind taste test but I also kept them solid cold in the fridge making them both taste crunchy like a cookie... After watching this video, Im still not sure if there is a difference. Coke and Pepsi are very easy to tell the difference. But idk if the Twix bars have a distinct taste difference like that.... Its something I keep testing, but get inconsistent results
