A smaller version, the "Mini Twister", is available in multipacks. Some Mini Twisters in each pack have the flavours reversed, so that the strawberry appears on the outside.[3]

A "Twister Blackcurrant" variety with a combination of strawberry vanilla, lemon, and blackcurrant flavours is available in the United Kingdom.[4]

A "Twister Choc" variety with a combination of vanilla, chocolate, and caramel flavours was available in the United Kingdom.

In March 2008, Unilever launched a plum and anise flavoured Twister, which lasted only two months before being withdrawn following disappointing sales.

The Twister Coaster ride at the West Midland Safari Park has decorative elements that echo the Twister lolly.[5] The roller coaster is of the Wild Mouse design.

A video game was published in the Czech Republic by Algida, promoting the twister ice cream in that country.[6]
