Is it "twist ties" or "twisties?"?

I've always said "twist ties," but I've come across quite a few people who have insisted that the word was "twisties."Is it "twist ties" or "twisties?"?
its twist ties
It's technically two different words, since they're ties that you twist.



But if you think of it as one word, you might think it was just one "t" in the middle there.



Kinda like when people spell it "roomate" instead of "roommate."



Now, speaking-wise, maybe they hear it as having just one "t" sound rather than twisT-Ties, with extra emphasis on the two "t" sounds.



Kinda like in Austin Powers when he says "Miss FFFFFFagina" to emphasize that it isn't, well, y'know, alottafagina.Is it "twist ties" or "twisties?"?
I've always called them twistie-ties!

I just LOVE them.

They have so many uses. Great for tying up wires!

To make them unnoticable I light them with my lighter and burn the paper off.
"Twist ties" sounds right. But "twisties" is still acceptable slang.Is it "twist ties" or "twisties?"?
