Twiglets snack celebrates 80th anniversary

Twiglets were launched in 1929, and have since become part and parcel of British office parties and birthdays. The knobbly shaped snack is produced by Jacob’s Bakery, a subsidiary of United Biscuits, in Aintree, Liverpool.

Since their inception 80 years ago, the distinctive love-it-or-hate-it flavour has remained unchanged. With fewer than 100 calories per 25g pack, the baked snack contains 41% of the recommended daily amount of whole grain.

Twiglets are sold in the UK and Australia, and are also available in the following pack sizes: 45g ‘handypacks’, 150g sharing bags, and a special Christmas-only 200g drum.
