What's that phrase

I've been trying to remember that English phrase (could be a word or a whole
sentence, I don't remember!) that people sometimes say just after you say
something and someone else unexpectedly says the exact same thing at the
same time, and both people are surprised and amused that they just said did.
Does anyone know what I'm talking about?

Thanks in advance.

I meant "they just did", of course.

Perhaps "Snap!" - from the children's card game.

Huh. That must be a Briticism. In the US when that happens, both
people say "Jinx!" as fast as they can, each trying to beat the
other. Whoever says "Jinx!" first wins, and gives the loser a task
to perform. The 'jinxed' person isn't allowed to talk to anyone
until they've completed the task.
