It's choopa choops.  I'm sure that's how it was pronounced in the TV ads too.

Chooooppa

Oranjeboom, Oranjeboom...its a lager not a tune.... and to think a marketing agency got paid for that one in 1984.


Meanwhile, I am pondering why a 12 pack of single twix fingers costs more than 6 two finger individually sold packs


I think I'd better call the Samaritans

I seem to remember that even the adverts couldn't get their minds around it.

The early ads pronounced it 'Choopa Choops', that's what i'm basing my decision on. Then, all of a sudden, they brought out a new range of ads which utilised the 'Chups' pronunciation.

It is spelled 'Chups' after all. But I started with choops, so choops it is.

It is definitely chooooopa chooooooops....................the company who manufacture them are Spanish. Imagine my surprise when the next set of adverts called the Chupa chups. I almost never ate them again on the basis of I was not sure how to order them without causing embarrasment to myself.

Cause it costs more to print Singlix than Twix?
