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.

Nahhh.. Skips are the worst.. then Frazzles! 🤮🤮🤣

Skips remind me of the polystyrene bits you get in packaging.

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

Hasn’t lilt been discontinued now? So sad.

It's been took over by fanta. It's just the fanta pineapple and grapefruit now instead. I think lilt was better but that might just be how im remembering it

YABVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVU!

Wheat Crunchies are the best!

windysocks · 29/04/2025 06:06

They are lovely especially with a squeeze of primula through the middle

GiroJim100 · 29/04/2025 06:27

Wheat crunchies are ok. It’s just a shame they never seem to do the Worcester Sauce and Spicy Tomato flavours now. They were much better than the bacon ones.

notsureyetcertain · 29/04/2025 06:30

i agree . I love Smokey bacon walkers but wheat crunchies are vile. Not the worst those, thst award goes to ……. Wotsits, horrid finger staining things.

BownnTown · 29/04/2025 06:32

Im offended!!! Wheat Crunchies are the definition of snack perfection! I’m so glad they have brought back the bacon and tomato flavours! I bought two multipacks just yesterday as I’m scared of running out! 😂

They’re nostalgic to me as we always used to have them at primary school. Both the bacon and tomato flavours unlock so many memories for me

notsureyetcertain · 29/04/2025 06:33

I did try one of the new crisp flavours recently- pork and apple, honestly awful do not recommend.

You can get tomato flavours! They’re in the multipack, asda sell them

Now that is bloody genius! I know what I'm purchasing after the school run this morning 😁

Fillyfrog · 29/04/2025 06:47

They're delicious but they do repeat on you though, and it's not even because I'm old now. I remember them doing the same thing when I used to have them in primary school😅

Thanks for the heads-up, I’ve not seen the multipacks of them for years.

mrschocolatte · 29/04/2025 06:49

Get thee gone with this nonsense! They are sensational and should be inducted in to the Crisps Hall of Fame. Got to admit though I’ve had my head turned recently by the fried egg flavoured crisps from Torres. Delicious and disgusting at the same time. DH has to leave the room whenever I pop open a bag.

DilemmaDelilah · 29/04/2025 08:53

@notsureyetcertain I totally agree about the pork and apple crisps... too sweet!

TropicofCapricorn · 29/04/2025 10:03

Well.. its clear I've found the dark side of Mumsnet... heathens the lot of you...

Neither had I, I was so excited when I saw them! 😂

iamnotalemon · 29/04/2025 13:00

@feelingbleh oooh I didn’t know that. Will look out for it when I visit. I know ALDIs version of lilt is alright.

mummyh2016 · 29/04/2025 13:04

Massively U! I got some for the kids last week, I ended up eating them all.

Henry8thHoover · 29/04/2025 15:41

Oh I love them. I like to suck the flavour off!

AtleastitsnotMonday · 29/04/2025 17:41

Does anyone remember when you could get salt and vinegar wheat crunchies? I seem to remember then in the vending machine after swimming lessons.

MissJeanBrodiesmother · 29/04/2025 17:54

I actually really like them.

SharpOpalNewt · 29/04/2025 17:55

The only thing wrong with Wheat Crunchies is that the bag isn't big enough.
