A delicious crispy snack Made of rice and maize Packed in special airtight bags It is such a craze. Cheesy Twistees are attractive They are tasty and unique The result of rare technique. They are healthy, baked not fried Now a household name; Many flavours to boast of Rapid rise to fame. Cheesy Twistees are attractive They are tasty and unique The result of rare technique. Curly Twistees are so yummy Nothing beats them, it is true; Once you try them you’re addicted You’ll get one for price of two!! ---------------------------------------------- Paul Callus ~ 31st May 2015 Contest: Sing Me a Jingle Sponsor: Lyric Man Placed 1st

Yes, you'd have to be an addict to pay the price of two for one, Paul. Great Jingle. I can almost here the desperate cries as people try to tear the foil open. Congrats, Viv

Hi Paul: Yummy I recall the taste of these as we had them in Australia. We used to have them on Sunday drives or at the movies. If you travel there, no need to pack your own. Enjoyed your jingle SuZ

Paul Callus
Date: 6/14/2015 1:10:00 PM

Yes, if I'm not mistaken they are sold in Australia, mostly because many Maltese live there, and a market was found for them. Pleased that you enjoyed my jingle. All the best. // paul

Hi Charm! I think all the Maltese like Twistees; it makes me smile when I see fingers being licked...nothing goes to waste! I'll have to introduce Jan to Twistees when she next comes to Malta in the very near future. Thanks for liking:) // paul
