You might have chowed down on many a Twix during your lifetime without realising the name actually has a meaning - and it has to do with the shape of the sweet treat. Despite being one of the best-selling chocolate bars of all time, many fans didn't realise it wasn't just a made-up name for the chocolate - but it stands for something longer.
