to think the little tiny Twiglets that come in a festive tub are a travesty?

Fgs, what was wrong with the proper, long twiglety Twiglet?

These new bits are about a third of the length. They are like the sweepings from the factory floor.

I am honestly discusted Xmas Sad.

Yes! Yes. I said exactly the same to my dad earlier. They are a travesty.

Thank you Winky. Did your Dad agree?

I kept thinking id picked up the wrong ones! Been looking for the normal tubs for ages. Didnt realise they had changed them. What a disgrace

I like the little ones!! I had some longer ones and they tasted weird

Did your Dad agree?
He did. But was not as outraged as I was. I am glad to find someonlu like minded bibbity.

Aw ok not even going to waste money buying them then
Thanks for heads up

bibbitybobbityyhat · 21/12/2018 20:49

Figgy, I reckon if you can still find them in bags in the normal snacks/crisps aisle, those might be the full size ones.

Thank God there's still a few shopping days before Christmas and I can go out and try and put this wrong right.

I'm sorry to inform you that I opened a 'normal' bag of twiglets earlier and thought that as I hadn't eaten them for a long time they must have shrunk (or I had grown) and that they are are just smaller than I remembered.
It seems that twiglets in packs across the board have now been ruined and relaxed by factory floor sweepings Xmas Confused

Guys don't panic, I have got through a couple of bags (not tubs) recently and can comfirm long twiglets still exist in the big bags. They are massively sorting out my morning sickness at the moment, so thank goodness Grin

... replaced by factory floor sweepings, even!

BeetrootBonanza · 21/12/2018 21:57

Orangefolly - mine were a big bag, just bought today and were small bits.

I may have polished off a tub of these —since Tuesday— over many many days.

I miss a long Twiglet. But I CAN SHOVE SO MANY OF THESE IN MY MOUTH.

Just opened a “Christmas can” and wondered why all so short! So fiddly now to eat! Not really sure worth the effort! And sad that the excitement of finding the ones in shape of an X because they had stuck together now never to be had again!
