About Maddix's Twisty Potato

Maddix's Twisty Potato is a mobile food business in Australia best known for its signature spiral-cut potatoes on a stick, often called “twisty potatoes” or “chip on a stick.” The stall offers freshly fried potatoes seasoned with flavours like plain salt, chicken salt, salt & vinegar, Mexican spice, and nacho cheese, and appears regularly at large events including the Sydney Royal Easter Show and the Canberra Show.([eastershow.com.au](https://www.eastershow.com.au/Explore/maddixs-twisty-potatoes/?utm_source=openai))

A charge with the descriptor “SQ *MADDIX'S TWISTY PO” most likely comes from a purchase at one of their event stalls, processed via Square (the payment processor). This would usually be a one‑time charge for food and drinks—typically low-dollar amounts consistent with show food pricing (for example, around AUD $8 per twisty potato as advertised at recent Easter Shows).([eastershow.com.au](https://www.eastershow.com.au/Explore/maddixs-twisty-potatoes/?utm_source=openai)) Because they operate at temporary event locations, the charge may appear with an abbreviated or slightly truncated name, and the city or state might correspond to where the show or festival took place.

If you have questions about this charge, start by checking any receipts, emails, or SMS confirmations from the event where you bought food, and review your recent calendar to see if you attended an agricultural show, carnival, or festival on the transaction date. Since payments are processed through Square, you may also see an emailed Square receipt if you provided an email or mobile number at the time of purchase. For unresolved issues, contact your bank or card issuer with the date and amount of the transaction; they can help confirm the merchant record and, if needed, initiate a dispute. When speaking with your bank, mention that the full merchant name is likely “Maddix's Twisty Potato” and that it is a food stall using Square at an Australian show or fair.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why do I see a charge from “SQ *MADDIX'S TWISTY PO” on my card statement?

This descriptor indicates a purchase processed by Square for Maddix's Twisty Potato, a food stall that sells spiral-cut potatoes at Australian shows and fairs. The charge likely corresponds to food or drink you bought at an event such as the Sydney Royal Easter Show or another agricultural show on the transaction date.

What typical amounts does Maddix's Twisty Potato charge?

Most purchases from Maddix's Twisty Potato are small, one‑time food transactions—commonly in the range of roughly AUD $8–$20 depending on how many twisty potatoes or add‑ons you ordered. If your charge is a small, single amount matching what you spent on show food, it is likely legitimate.

Can Maddix's Twisty Potato set up a recurring or subscription charge?

No. Maddix's Twisty Potato operates as an event-based food vendor and does not offer subscription services. All legitimate charges should be one‑time transactions made in person at a stall. If you see repeated charges you don’t recognize, contact your bank or card provider immediately.

Why is the charge listed under Square instead of Maddix's Twisty Potato?

Maddix's Twisty Potato uses Square as its payment processor, so statements often show a prefix such as “SQ *” before an abbreviated version of the stall name. Square is not the merchant itself; it simply processes the card payment on behalf of Maddix's Twisty Potato.

How can I confirm that this charge is really from Maddix's Twisty Potato?

Compare the transaction date and location with when you attended a show, carnival, or festival, and check any paper or digital receipts from food stalls. If you supplied an email or phone number at checkout, search for a Square receipt that references Maddix's Twisty Potato or a twisty‑potato purchase. If details still don’t match, contact your bank for further investigation.

Does Maddix's Twisty Potato place temporary holds or pending charges?

Event food purchases are usually captured immediately, but—as with any Square transaction—you may briefly see a pending authorization before it finalizes for the same amount. This should update to a posted transaction within a few days. If a pending hold does not resolve or duplicates appear, contact your card issuer.

How do I request a refund for a purchase from Maddix's Twisty Potato?

Refunds for show or festival purchases must be handled directly by the vendor during the event, usually at the same stall where you made the purchase, and are completed through Square. If the event has ended and you believe there was an error, your primary recourse is to contact your bank or card provider to review the transaction and discuss a possible dispute.

What information should I have ready when contacting my bank about this charge?

Have the exact transaction amount, date, and descriptor (“SQ *MADDIX'S TWISTY PO”) ready, along with details of any shows or fairs you attended around that time. Mention that the merchant is an Australian event food stall called Maddix's Twisty Potato using Square for payments; this can help your bank quickly locate and verify the merchant record.
