Guess the decal
We just bought our first Mini, a 2004 S. Does anyone recognize this decal? We have no idea what the little squiggle means! Once we figure it out we can decide whether it stays or goes

Correct, the oval is for the province of Florence Italy. The squiggle looks like some decorative decal. But, I would ask the previous owner; maybe they have some significance that could be interesting?

Twisties

If you are looking for the fastening twist tie, see Twist tie.Twisties is a snack food product available in Australia, Malta, New Zealand, Singapore, Malaysia and in Fiji. The brand name is owned by The Smith's Snackfood Company. While originally an Australian owned company, Smith's was acquired in August 1998, by Frito-Lay the second largest producer of salt snack foods in Australia, which in turn is owned by PepsiCo. Twisties are very similar to Nik Naks in the UK, which were developed by Smiths Crisps there in the early 1980s. Twisties are now on sale in the UK, where they are known as Tastees using the catch phrase " taste Tastees". Tastees are expected to be as popular in the UK as they are in other countries -
Twisties are one of the most popular snack foods in Australia. Smith's claims it to be the "number one extruded snack brand"
They are made primarily of corn and rice, fried in vegetable oil and then coloured and flavoured. The corn and rice batter is extruded into the hot oil, resulting in a relatively dense product compared to most similar snack foods, such as Cheetos and Burger Rings, and a distinctive mouth texture.
Twisties were originally available only in cheese flavour, but chicken flavour was introduced and became a standard part of the product line. There have also been flavours in various countries as diverse Toffee, Tomato and Salmon Teriyaki.
Twisties have been advertised for several years with the well-known slogan "Life's pretty straight without... Twisties". Typical television advertisements play on the slogan by showing people in mundane situations being transported to surreal and exciting environments when they eat Twisties.
They are also sold on the Italian market with the name Fonzies. Fonzies are pale yellow in colour, because they do not use the bright orange food colouring that normal Twisties uses. Fonzies are baked, not fried. Although sold in Italy, Fonzies are produced in Germany by LU Snack Foods GmbH.
