Can somebody please explain the joke. Political spectrum? Penis tilt? I'm lost.
There’s a meme (ad campaign) that there’s a difference between the left and right twix bars
Because of how they're packaged, there is no left and right twix. Left and right are relative terms. My left could be your right and someone else's up or down. Before you open a package of twix each twix bar is in a superposition of left and right. They only gain cardinality when you tear open the packaging. Both sides of the packaging are designed to easily open so there is no objective top or bottom to the packaging.
Anon is crazy because he thinks that he can guess which twix is which as if being a left or right twix were an objective term. Sort of like if someone handed you two completely identical copies of a photograph and a marker and told you to highlight the differences, and then you found some differences.
I disagree. The lettering tells you where the top of the package is. There is a top twix and abottom twix, and If you disagree you're being needlessly pedantic and philosophical.
Yeah there's a top and bottom one but there's no left and right one until you've opened it. The only packaging that I can see that indicates which side is the top are the ones which advertise themselves as being all left or all right twix. Regular twix wrappers don't even have "tear here" printed on them.
Twix are chocolate bars which comes wrapped two identical pieces in one wrapper. OP can apparently tell the difference by taste which is absurd.
But that can't be the joke because there is no inherent orientation to twix bars, so there cannot be a "left"
Depending on where you live Twix packaging has an end like this, which gives you a top of the package to orient yourself to. But that's besides the point because the ad expects you to not think about it too hard and just accept a left and right twix.
The wrapper is not symmetrical. You can consistently define a left and right bar of a given Twix in an unambiguous way.
Twix bars come in pairs. He's able to tell which of the bars it was.
Don't get what's funny about that, though. Typical 4chan moment.
I do remember there being a twix ad where two factories make "different" twixes which get added to the same packaging.
Then the ad asks you which one you prefer.
Ah yes. I remember that one, too. Then my comment is BS.
Twix packages usually contain two Twix. Maybe he is guessing left or right Twix? Idk.
