Talk:Twiglets

Chris Brown
"A Twiglet is also know in the Australian Defence Force as a Chris Brown (Recovery Mechanic)."

This looks like a personal dig. Please cite some sources to back this up, or I'll delete it.

Sorry - I deleted it because I think its 100% nonsense. And I love twiglets - so I took sweeping action. Sorry if that offends - I'd respect any meaningful commentry but you were being too cautious about that one imho. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.114.151.243 (talk) 19:53, 29 March 2009 (UTC)

Diana
"Their popularity rose after reports that Diana, Princess of Wales enjoyed them." Is that really neccesary to mention? I ove twiglets but i don't think Diana had anything to do with that... -- anon

Cleanup
This article seems like just a bunch of random facts lumped together and could use a more encyclopedic structure. --Bri 11:54, 5 July 2006 (UTC)


 * I agree - for example, Marmite gets mentioned several times, but nowhere is it established that the Twiglets product has any relationship to Marmite, other than in the use of yeast extract and a resulting similarity of taste. The comment "Twiglets are also known as "Sticks dipped in Marmite"" is typical of this article - and in this case it doesn’t even say where or by whom this “fact” comes from (it sound like it should have been preceded by the words “In our house…”, as it doesn’t have any currency where I am from).

we were just having a discussion about twiglets and seem to have stumbled into a heated debate, on whether or not jacobs were indeed the original manufacturers of twiglets? anyone care to clear up our problem?

Flavours
Twiglets are not exclusively yeast extract flavoured. For a while they were available in Worcestershire Sauce flavour, though I don't know if they still are. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 190.129.41.155 (talk) 04:42, 29 February 2012 (UTC)


 * Twiglets taste quote from Alfonso Ribeiro on I'm a Celebrity Get Me Out of Here 2013 - They taste like someone took a pretzel shoved it up their ass and then burnt it. This is the best description for a Twiglet I have ever heard. Taste one and you will see! http://metro.co.uk/2013/12/04/im-a-celebrity-2013-alfonso-ribeiro-refuses-to-accept-joey-essex-is-more-famous-4216044/ 62.255.73.187 (talk) 18:27, 6 December 2013 (UTC)

This "fact" seems to need a citation...
"Twiglets are found on the ground in the spanish countryside, and are collected by intelligent cats that have been trained over centuries to sniff them out." TimBRoy (talk) 01:27, 19 December 2012 (UTC)

J. Rondalin Zwadoodie
According to several sources on Google Books the inventor of Twiglets was a Frenchman called J. Rondalin Zwadoodie. Was that really his name?

Class I
Twiglets were definitively described as "The opiates of the packaged snacks", but it was by some guy in a private chat group I'm in, which is perhaps not a solid enough source. Can we get someone famous to say it? - 112.119.117.119 (talk) 16:13, 15 July 2020 (UTC)

Plural/singula
Is there a justification for this article's title being in the plural? The manual of style expects singular titles: Naming_conventions_(plurals). Richard New Forest (talk) 09:16, 12 October 2021 (UTC)


 * It's a brand name, not a generic name, so it's an article about the brand (which uses the plural) Mane25 (talk) 15:49, 5 January 2022 (UTC)
