In Popular Culture
The Toffee Crisp is best known for a series of British television advertisements in the 1980s/1990s - each ending with the strap-line "Somebody, somewhere is eating a Toffee Crisp".
The Toffee Crisp (shown as the Toffee Crispy, though it was the same product with the same labelling style and font) also appeared in a Red Dwarf episode entitled "Bodyswap". The Toffee Crispy was dispensed from a talking food dispenser machine instead of the ship exploding due to a wiring fault.

Famous quotes containing the words popular and/or culture:
“All official institutions of language are repeating machines: school, sports, advertising, popular songs, news, all continually repeat the same structure, the same meaning, often the same words: the stereotype is a political fact, the major figure of ideology.”
—Roland Barthes (1915–1980)
“There has never been in history another such culture as the Western civilization M a culture which has practiced the belief that the physical and social environment of man is subject to rational manipulation and that history is subject to the will and action of man; whereas central to the traditional cultures of the rivals of Western civilization, those of Africa and Asia, is a belief that it is environment that dominates man.”
—Ishmael Reed (b. 1938)
