Twix was called Raider in many european countries, above all all german speaking countries, don't ask me why. When they got renamed to Twix in 1991 about 70% of all countries that offered the bar already called it Twix.
The renaming happened with the slogan "Raider heißt jetzt Twix, … sonst ändert sich nix" broadly "Raider is now called Twix, ... nothing else changes"
The Slogan ofcourse was used by many german speaking comedians and satirists when it came to Twitter... "Twitter heißt jetzt X, ... sonst ändert sich nix.", with the added bonus that a lot changed, for the worse, underlining Muskian lies.
Oooh so there's actually much more to it than meets the eye! Damn. Thanks for taking the time to explain :-)
I bet this information will be mixed with my COVID fever dreams and is going to remain lodged in my brain as core knowledge somehow forever :P
