Crunchie or Violet Crumble? I know it’s been done before but my friends and I are having an argument pic.twitter.com/crBuCis6vX

People were quick to defend the Violet Crumble as 'original' honeycomb bar. 

'The hill I will die on is that Crunchie is an extremely poor imitation of the far superior Violet Crumble,' one person wrote. 

'Long term honeycomb afficionado (sic) here. It's like asking if you prefer the foam on the cappuccino to the actual coffee. I prefer the coffee, with a hint of foam. Hence, the #VioletCrumble. Even my cat is named after it…,' a dedicated fan added.

Other users thought Crunchie the winner of the debate.

'Crunchie. Bite and let it melt in your mouth,' one user wrote. 

'Crunchie. Always,' another person commented. 

Some users argued that Crunchie had the better chocolate while the Violet Crumble has the better honeycomb.

Other confident users announced Crunchie the superior honeycomb-filled chocolate bar

The real answer is Crunchie chocolate but with Violet Crumble honeycomb. https://t.co/AEmgMji5oU

Others took a completely different approach and recommended other honeycomb chocolates to debaters. 

'We will step outside the two party system and recommend an independent Australian owned challenger. Both Violet Crumble and Crunchie are influenced by overseas interests (sound familiar),' one person wrote.

'Take some balsa wood and put chocolate icing on it and make one yourself. I'm still waiting for the Streets Triple Treat comeback,' another said.
