What Are Twistees?
Twistees are a special kind of snack that comes from Malta. They are made mainly from rice, which gives them a unique crunch. Instead of being fried, these snacks are baked. This process helps create their light and crispy texture.
Where Are Twistees Made?
Twistees are made by a company called Darrell Lee Foods. Their factory is located in a place called Marsa in Malta. The factory was first started by a person named Ray Calleja.
Twistees Around the World
Even though Twistees are a Maltese snack, they are enjoyed in many other countries too! You can find them in the UK, where they are sometimes sold under the name "Tastees." They are also sent to places like Libya, parts of the Middle East, and Germany.
Different Flavors and Sizes
The most famous type of Twistees is the original Cheesy flavor. But over the years, the company has added more yummy options! You can also find:
- Smokey Barbeque Twistees
- Twistees Lite (a lighter version)
- Chicken Twistees
Twistees come in different bag sizes. The regular bag is usually 50 grams. But if you want to share with friends or just have more for yourself, there's a bigger 150-gram "Sharing packet." The "Tastees" brand, sometimes found in the UK, offers a bacon-flavored version of the snack.
A Special Anniversary
Twistees have been around for a long time! In 2011, they celebrated their 50-year anniversary. That means people have been enjoying these tasty snacks for half a century!
