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.
