Has anyone seen these new Ryvita Minis?

[GeorginaA]

Have been given a free packet of Caramel flavour (CARAMEL FLAVOUR???? RYVITA??? Ew) in with my internet shop and I have to say they are totally bizarre.

The packet says on the front: "Simple Rye Goodness" but the ingredients list is:

Wholegrain Rye Flour, Sugar, Caramel Flavouring, Dried Glucose Syrup, Trehalose*, Vegetable Oil, Salt, Emulsifier: Soya Lecithin.
*Trehalose is a source of glucose.

Doesn't sound that simple to me. Not only that but that's THREE different types of sugar in there isn't there?! Isn't ryvita supposed to be a savoury snack?

The front of the packet also says "Only 103 Cals" - ONLY?! It's effectively 1 ryvita broken into small chunks in a packet - 103 calories seems a little high to me. But then again - 3 types of sugar...

I've just bitten into one. Yup. Definitely lots of sugar, very very sickly and sweet. I think for the first time ever I might throw a freebie away...

Oh, there's 10 pieces in the packet total. Each piece is about 1 inch x 1.5 inch big. I'm not even sure that adds up to a whole ryvita...

... I've had 3 pieces. I feel sick.

worst thing I have ever tasten.. just got mine in the internet shop too.. BUT the chocolate was very nice.....

haven't opened the chocolate yet ... am waiting for the "caramel" taste to finally fade away ... eurgh!

think i tasted salt n vinegar or soemthing...yuk. wont be buying that again.

agree, it is a wierd concept. take healthy food that tastes like cardboard unless you cover it with yummy stuff like avocado or egg mayo, and instead cover it with horrible and fake tasting 'flavourings'

rather pick my nose.

Didn't like them at all - only tried one packet of the savoury ones though - never again - YUCK!
