Link for those who asked.

I've never had a Turkey Twizzler. I'm almost tempted to buy a pack, just to see exactly how deprived my childhood was.

TheSlowMow · 17/08/2020 11:35

You must @LemonBars you may find it hard to forgive your parents for withholding this culinary delight from you though
They are the Emperor of junk food. The very top of the chain. Best to try them with buttered white bread and baked beans
Sit back, relax and enjoy
No need for thanks Grin

I’ve never actually had one. Why aren’t that called porky twizlers? Or Percy tails? Or Pig Tails? Isn’t there the risk of a non pork eater having them by mistake?

I used to like the Bernard Matthew breaded turkey breast back in the 80s. I now wonder if there were actually pork!

SpunBodgeSquarepants · 17/08/2020 12:06

Hoping and praying they taste exactly the same as when I was 8 years old

SerenityNowwwww · 17/08/2020 12:07

They never do!

Julmust · 17/08/2020 12:11

I don't remember them but i remember the JO programme about how they were made which is off putting, and i eat plenty of junk food!

appleberrysoap · 17/08/2020 12:57

Guess they needed to cheer the country up somehow... 😂

I'm off to Iceland!!!

Julmust · 17/08/2020 13:17

I googled and it looks like they're making them healthier

alula · 17/08/2020 13:27

I've never had a Turkey Twizzler and hadn't heard of them until Jamie's campaign. Not because I grew up on healthy food - my mum cooked exclusively from the frozen aisle so I'm surprised she never bought them. Neither of my schools did them. I feel like I missed out on a childhood rite of passage.

TeddyIsaHe · 17/08/2020 13:42

3 of my friends have text me in fits of joy about their return. I think this may be the only good thing about 2020 Grin

Amen to that I wonder if Jamie is sat in a darkened room, weeping whilst rocking backwards and forwards cursing all the TTFs (turkey twizzler fans)
