Removed from external links section reference to an unrelated Italian product with similar packaging (It Italy is called "fonzies" and appereance looks like twisties packaging but available only in cheese flavour). Andoka 04:49, 8 January 2007 (UTC)

Does anyone know how similar these are to Nik Naks? --80.47.107.70 14:44, 6 March 2007 (UTC)

I've eaten both, and they are very similar -J.Hrouda —Preceding unsigned comment added by 203.34.40.2 (talk) 06:45, 3 September 2007 (UTC)


I agree with Hrouda, in fact they are identical. The product linked, Tastiees has no google presence, and I don't think its similar as the link shows a product "baked not fried".

The product Tastees has a google presence. Tastees and Twisties are very, very similar

Nik Naks were originally manufactured by Smiths Crisps in the UK in the early 80s, and Twisties are made by Smiths in Australia. I assume they were rolled out in Australia after and are very similar,or identical. On this basis, I am changing the page.Matthewsheffield 12:36, 7 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] reference

I removed "[www.tastees.info.]" from the article as it should be a reference, not part of the text. Don't know how to do references; sorry! It came from this sentence:

Twisties are now on sale in the UK, where they are known as Tastees and will be as popular as they are in other countries - [www.tastees.info.]

[edit] Italian version confusion?

Someone familiar with both the Australian product and the Italian product ("Fonzies") mentioned in the article needs to clear up the confusion about their relation to each other. The article seems to claim that Fonzies are both the same as Twisties and merely a similar product. -Jarsyl (talk) 04:11, 26 November 2007 (UTC)

THe fun part about this is that they are the same but different - whilst they are both baked cheese flavoured snacks, Twisties are cheddar flavoured and orange coloured, and Fonzies are gorgonzola flavoured and pale yellow in colour. Fatagina (talk) 02:39, 6 May 2008 (UTC)
