Why is Twizzlers Called Twizzlers?

May 2, 2018 by Chloie Parsons Leave a Comment

Twizzlers is a twisted rope candy produced in the USA. Made of enriched wheat flour, liquid sugar, corn syrup, artificial flavoring, shortening, and food coloring, Twizzlers was developed in 1929 by The Young & Smylie Confectionery Company. Twizzlers became really popular in the 1960s. In fact, Neil Armstrong’s second remark on the moon in 1969, after his “giant leap for mankind” statement was, “I could go for some Twizzlers right now.” I wonder if this off-the-cuff ad placement had anything to do with their surge in popularity.

Why is Cheetos Called Cheetos?

April 25, 2018 by Chloie Parsons Leave a Comment

From humble beginnings to a cult following, Cheetos graduated from Charles Doolin’s kitchen to become a front runner in the category of addictive, messy snack. In case you do not know what Cheetos are, they are a cornmeal-based snack that vary in size and shape, are fried like a donut or steam puffed, and then coated in cheese powder. Cheetos come either puffy or crunchy, and they came in a host of flavors, such as Cheese, Flamin’ Hot, Sweetos (cinnamon sugar puffs), Pepsi in Japan, Ketchup in Poland, Strawberry in Russia, and oddly enough, Japanese steak flavor in China.
