to declare the Wheat Crunchies bacon flavour are the WORST cripsy snack

I'll fight you... the texture is horrible the flavour is grim AND it repeats ...

Usually I love a smoky bacon flavour crispy snack, but Wheat Crunchies? vom.

Ohhhh nooooo... what have you DONE OP?!! Now I want to pop to the shop and get a massive bag of wheat crunchies! I feel they deserve to be loved and not left in the shop now 😫

Haven’t seen them for ages but they are excellent. Stop buying them if you don’t like them and leave them for us.

My child loves them... shameful.

Wheat Crunchies are fabulous! Closely followed by Nik Naks 😋😋

Morrisons own brand skips are the way to go. They may only sell them in a sharing bag now. The branded ones are nasty.

Show quote history

Yes it’s the pink line they put down the middle I think.. just grim looking and tasting.

Nooooooo. Bettered only by pork scratching.

MellowPinkDeer · 28/04/2025 10:23

nope. These are up there with the best crisps ever. You’re wrong OP.

DisforDarkChocolate · 28/04/2025 10:22

They are my favourite so you are being very very unreasonable!

Enigma53 · 28/04/2025 10:20

Oh and third comes Quavers, the prawn ones! WTAF?? 😱

I loved them when I was younger and they were my go-to crisp, but I think the taste has changed in recent years, there are hardly any in a packet and I no longer buy them because I agree, they are yuck now. They taste how I imagine a dog treat must taste 😂.

They do smell like dog treats, don't they? I prefer the Co Op Bacon rashers for my bacon-flavoured comestible treat.

RaffleQueen · 28/04/2025 10:16

YABVU because it’s Quavers. They’re disgusting.

Defunctlyric · 28/04/2025 10:15

They are literally the finest savoury snack ever invented in human history.
I love to sook them!

They are much like Bugles which are also magnifico and come in an obscenely big packet!

YABVVVU.
They need to bring back the spicy tomato ones too.

Sunsweetsandandicecream · 28/04/2025 10:05

I always disliked them too op, but then again I hate bacon flavour crisps to begin with. I used to find the tomato ones "okay", but not amazing. This was however in an era where Walkers crisps actually tasted nice. I had a friend whose dm would put them in her lunchbox every single school day, along with dry from scratch breadbuns and she hated them. She just wanted Walkers, or even supermarket own brand. But nope, same flavour wheat Crunchies every day.

I'm now a fan of Seabrook. I used to like Kettle Chips, but even they have changed a bit, and not as flavoursome as they once were.

YANBU.

Sending an imaginary bag of M&S Bacon Rashers to help you at this difficult time 🥓

feelingbleh · 28/04/2025 10:04

I use to get these and a can of lilt everyday from the school vending machines 😋 yabvu

MissAmbrosia · 28/04/2025 10:04

I really want some now.

Christmashatglee · 28/04/2025 10:03

I will mediate this … outstanding on the first pass, but I have to agree the repeat is strong. Still worth it though 👌

No way! They are one of the things I look for when I come back to the UK for a visit.
