You definitely have a product that will appeal to a wide cross section of society and buyers.
As well as your regular Foodies, you've also got the market for those "People Who Like Food From A Major Retailer That Isn't Quite Right" group and they can be big payers - let us not forget how much someone tried to insure their enormous Walkers Salt and Vinegar crisp for before sending it to CBCC Broom Cupboard with Andy Crane back in the late 80s/early 90s.
There is then the group of people who collect M&S stock items, there's the party food collectors. Most valuable, if you can find someone, is the collector of fine cheese twists who will appreciate how much craft has gone into this particular example, lovingly created by a cheese twist machine that went on the fritz for a few fractions of a second on a cold Tuesday morning. Those people really know what they are seeking out and if you can find one, they will pay top dollar.
So, in my expert opinion I would say it could be worth as much as, or in excess of, 8 pence, to the right person, on the right day.

As it is presented here, I think, even at auction, it would struggle to reach 5p.
Some time ago there was a case of a chap who claimed to have found a straight piece of pasta in a bag of Tesco Fusilli Twists.
Under expert analysis, it transpired that it was a regular Twist that had been moistened, straightened and re-dried. As such it was dismissed a fake by SOMFACA (Society Of Misshapen Food And Comestible Accessories).
Whilst there is no doubt as to the integrity of DickyC's Cheese Twist, I'm wondering if some form of Certificate of Authenticity may be required to realise its full value?
