Argh! Why do companies do this?!

Oxo cubes used to be perfectly crumbleable. Squish 'em in their packet, crumble them into the sauce, job's a good'un.

So they have to change the shape to a stupid X shape that even Chuck Bloody Norris would struggle to crush, let alone my puny fingers.

WHY????

They've been X's since about 2009.
I normally use Knorr cubes but bought some Oxo's recently. The foil always bursts when I crush them.

That takes me back to my nans house when young!

@Utilityroomenvy I'm going to have to do it now......

Well blow me down....

Ive never seen an X shaped one. Mine are cubes.

@MrsDThomas ....that was what I said before I unwrapped one....

Bet they aren't...

Yes they are. 100%

I drink oxo too. Add a splash of milk and it's like a cuppa soup!
