To think that Twiglets have changed?

[lurchermummy]

I had a bag tonight and they tasted different. Is it just me or have they changed the recipe?

They seem smaller but I may be bigger

Grim. Used to love a twiglet and now I end up giving them to the dog.

They aren't as marmitey. But then, I think marmite is less marmitey than it used to be too.

I am actually addicted to Twiglets so can't have them in the house unless Christmas. Am just so sad that they are short, stubby little things these days - they used to be about 3 inches long and were sublime.

I had some t'other day and they are as absolutely gross as they have always been

Have they changed them to make them nice?

Anyone remember the big long twiglets? They could be quite painful if they splintered in your mouth . I think they might even have come in a cardboard box?

I've just had some and they were yummy. The ones in the tubs are small - ones in bags are 3 inches long. (Does anyone remember when they came in boxes and were about 6 inches long? 70s/80s?)

I think they're just sometimes less Marmitey; different batches or whatever.

Here you go!

Ah, sorry, X-post. Yes, cardboard boxes. Like Maltesers

I think they changed years ago - they used to have cheese as an ingredient. Cheese removed to reduce fat/calories. Maybe 20 years ago? Never been as tasty since

Oh no. I bet the cheese was removed to make them vegan. Bloody veganism has ruined vegetarian food.

😡

They've dropped the salt content by 60% to come under the next batch of government regulations about promoting particular foods (comes into force in October, I think).

Or, in other words, they've made them bland and tasteless in case people decide to have ten packets a day.

Yeah they have changed. They've capitulated to the new government HFSS regs by reformulating. Brace yourself for many, many other products going the same way in coming months.

No! Don't ruin our lovely salty snacks!

I'm just eating another bag to make sure and I definitely think the taste has changed. They've fiddled around with it somehow and it's not as good. I'm still eating them though, you can't beat a salty twig let.
