Cheeselets. Ruined.

I need to inform you of a terrible, terrible thing. They’ve ruined cheeselets.

I bought a multipack with much excitement. Previously I’d bought multipacks in b&m or similar whenever I’d seen them. For a while they’ve been missing.

i often buy big bags but only Tesco appear to sell them. I am unsure if current stocks of big packs of old style cheeselets are available. In the home counties if you go and check and buy out the stock I will hunt you down.

New cheeselets are fake Doritos cheese type flavour. They are no longer slightly puffy and flaky. They are now hard and uniform.

if they fuck with treeselets we must riot.

Smarties have a weird outer shell and the chocolate is crap.
Not the same as the tubes with the letter inside the lid..70s.

They’ve taken the cheese out of twiglets so they are now vegan apparently. Now they’re just nasty bitter little twigs. I won’t buy them now, and I used to love a twiglet ☹️

Really? So it's not a blip and they are now what everyone used to tell me they were and that's dry, disgusting twigs 😞

They’ve ruined salt and vinegar pringles as well. I used to go through a tube in one go sometimes but I can’t even bear to eat one anymore. I cried when I realised

I know! So boring, bland and weird.

Had a Mars Bar I've cream tonight. Honestly, it's barely bigger than a fun size one now.

A finger of fudge is now a toe of fudge!

id happily pay more and buy things slightly less frequently if they would just leave things the hell alone. Or publish the intense market research and customer and analysis that backs up the taste and design choices.

bunch of money grabbing, selfish, bureaucratic, Christmas ruining, snack stealing oafs.

They ruined Percy pigs too when they de pigged them

im sure they could make 2 versions - one ‘old style’ and one new fangled

a bit like classic coke, remember that? (Or am I too old 😂)

I bought a bag expecting to taste the original taste of Cheeselets we I have enjoyed for years 50+ well not anymore this combo of a mini cheddar and a cheese let is bloody awful. I have wasted £2 buying a bag but never again, unless I see the original blue bag containing the real Cheeselet my enjoyment will end. Typical meddling with a well established product has been screwed up, so stick your new mini cheddar cheeselet d

@evertonfc9 life is now divided into life with cheeselets and life after cheeselets. It is fractured. Broken.

Jacob's have also ruined Twiglets as of Christmas this year. I used to have a big bag a week. I've only had 1 big bag this year. Tasteless and pointless. Cost cutting so people notice is terrible for business. They were already expensive but I'd rather a smaller bag or higher price than lower quality.

I thought they tasted different!

I tried one final time. Still awful. RIP Twiglets for good now 😭

I am a mini cheddar addict. If Jacobs come for them next I’m not sure what I’ll do.

M&S teacakes are not to my liking any more. They’re much softer and gooier, I like a little bit of resistance. They’re more like Tunnocks now, which is fine, but I like to have the choice of different styles. I wonder if they are now made by Tunnocks?

Bizarrely I stole a couple of my son’s quavers today and they had a different texture too? Definitely harder and less melty. What’s going on!

Oh gosh. The shit-ification is creeping.
