Twix was called Raider in Austria, Belgium, Denmark, France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Portugal, Sweden and Norway for many years before its name was changed in 1991 to match the international brand name. This name change was met with scorn in Germany. The slogan Raider heißt jetzt Twix, ... sonst ändert sich nix ("Raider is now called Twix, ... nothing else changes") has become a metaphor for botched attempts to make something look more modern by giving it a new, cool name.
