Twister (ice cream) facts for kids

The Twister (originally "Tangle Twister") is an ice cream lollipop on a stick, launched in 1982 and made by Unilever's Heart brand. It is pineapple ice cream and lime flavoured fruit ice on the outside and strawberry fruit ice on the inside and is shaped in a spiral.

Variations

A smaller version, the "Mini Twister", is available in multipacks. Some Mini Twisters in each pack have the flavours reversed, so that the strawberry appears on the outside. A "Twister Blackcurrant" variety with a combination of strawberry vanilla, lemon, and blackcurrant flavours is available in the United Kingdom. A "Twister Choc" variety with a combination of vanilla, chocolate, and caramel flavours was available in the United Kingdom. In March 2008, Unilever launched a plum and anise flavoured Twister, which lasted only two months before being withdrawn following poor sales. In 2023, two new flavours were launched: "Twister Fruit Zingerrr", a purple, green and yellow fruit ice in a combination of tangy apple, sour lemon and sweet blueberry flavours, and "Twister Peek-A-Blue", a blue, yellow and pink fruit ice with apple-blueberry, refreshing melon and sweet strawberry-lemon flavours.
