The text on a Twix wrapper runs in the same direction as the Twix inside, so it’s better to say they’re top and bottom Twix - otherwise it’s ambiguous based on the direction of the packaging.

Also, for double blind experimentation, she shouldn’t know whether it’s a left or a right.

Take it up with Twix themselves. They’re the ones who say they have a left and a right one

This could be a useful way to describe an unopened Twix. But once it’s been opened, the direction of the Twix relative to the opening (with the text being at the top) matters more than the direction relative to the text.

I’d be throwing in some of the individually wrapped single twix you get in some mixed packs… just to throw them off and add some statistical interest.

  Thankfully you added a /s or I would have thought they actually experimented on humans

  As long as you can choose to stop eating the Twix at any time, and they don’t encourage you to eat an unhealthy/dangerous amount of them, this would probably be easy to run past an IRB.

Wouldn’t you just go by the same alignment as you would on the spine of a book? First letter at the top and read downwards.

  Oddly enough, that convention isn’t universal. Top-to-bottom is typical in the US, UK, and Commonwealth, while bottom-to-top is common in continental Europe and non-anglophone Americas.

All this means is that left or right are both the correct answer depending on one’s perspective, on the other hand you are wrong because you open the twix at one end and take either the left or the right one
