While the miniseries Hatfields & McCoys picked up 16 Emmy nominations last week, there’s a lower profile historic rivalry of an intra-family nature making the rounds in tongue-in-cheek fashion compliments of BBDO New York. In this spot we are introduced to the brothers who invented the Twix candy bar. We are taken back in time to see their sibling rivalry take root as they brawl and in the process break an elongated Twix–originally invented as a single bar–into two parts, the “left Twix” and the “right Twix.”
Hence, the two finger Twix we see today. What wasn’t public knowledge until now, though, is that each brother went his separate way to build his own Twix factory, which wound up adjacent to one another. The Right and Left Twix factories are mirror images of each other as a narrator points out the key “differences” between the two–for instance the Left Twix factory flows caramel on cookie, while its Right counterpart cascades its caramel.
Now both separate factories and candy bar share only a wrapper and an ill-devised driveway–not big enough for trucks from Left and Right Twix to pull into simultaneously. Viewers are invited to try Right and Left Twix bars and “pick a side.”

Beyoncé’s Halftime Show Highlighted Netflix’s NFL Debut On Xmas Day
Beyoncé provided more excitement than either game during Netflix's NFL debut on Christmas Day.
Riding into her halftime appearance on a white horse, the 32-time Grammy winner rocked her hometown Houston crowd with a nearly 13-minute performance on Wednesday.
She surprised fans by bringing along Shaboozey to perform "Sweet Honey Buckiin" and Post Malone joined her for "Levii's Jeans."
The action on the field didn't live up to expectations as the NFL showcased four of the AFC's top five teams.
Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce exposed a glitch in Pittsburgh's defense during Kansas City's 29-10 rout in the first game.
The broadcast itself went off just fine, quickly becoming the second-most popular live title on Netflix to date, according to NFL Media.
Lamar Jackson and the Ravens led C.J. Stroud and the Texans to 17-2 at halftime before Beyoncé stole the show.
Mariah Carey opened Wednesday's doubleheader with a taped performance of "All I Want for Christmas is You" and then the two-time defending Super Bowl champion Chiefs trounced the Steelers to clinch the No. 1 seed in the AFC.
There were no signs of any major streaming issues during the game after Netflix experienced minor blunders at the start of the pregame show. The broadcast opened with roughly 10 seconds of silence because it appeared studio host Kay Adams' microphone wasn't turned on.
Beyoncé's live performance at NRG Stadium was supposed to be the biggest test for the streaming giant and it seemed to go off without a hitch.
Mahomes threw for 320 yards and three touchdowns and Kelce had eight catches for 84 yards and one score as the Chiefs (15-1) earned a first-round bye and home-field advantage throughout the AFC playoffs. The... Read More
