- Richard Osman sparked debate on Twitter after claiming it was a biscuit
- Many disagreed arguing that a Twix is undoubtedly a chocolate bar
- HMRC defines the item as 'confectionary' neither a biscuit not a chocolate bar
Twitter is known for hosting various debates, with users arguing their side on topics such as Trump's presidency or Brexit.
However, a new confectionery related debate is proving particularly fraught online as users argue whether a Twix is classified as a chocolate bar or a biscuit.
The discussion was sparked by Pointless host Richard Osman who took to Twitter in an attempt to set the record straight once and for all.

The quiz master tweeted: 'I honestly don't think a Twix is really a chocolate bar. It should be reclassified as a biscuit.'
HMRC defines the bar as 'confectionery' neither confirming it as a biscuit or a chocolate bar. The MailOnline contacted Mars who declined the opportunity to comment.
But while Richard has strong opinions in favour of the biscuit it didn't take long for his followers to argue for the opposition.

Some users agreed strongly with Richard to the point that they were willing to lose friends over the debate.

Many agreed that the product was neither a biscuit nor a chocolate bar but was some kind of hybrid.

Others said they reminded of a previous debate which saw KitKat's identity questioned on Twitter.

While many were furiously engaged in the topic many Twitter users were left baffled as to why the subject was being debated in the first place.
