Twiglets

MadsL

I'll be stocking up when I'm over in January, but how come they didn't take off in sales in Ireland. Tesco had them for a while.

Twiglets, would you?

Could be something to do with the fact that they didn't sell well after a few years of marketing them, because we didn't like them.

Marketing them? I never once saw an ad for Twiglets in Ireland. I think it may have had something to do with Jacob's Tallaght closing down in 2009.

Love them, particularly the Worcester Sauce flavour, which they sadly don't make any more.

The Ltd edition curry ones were also a good decision!

Do they taste like pretzels? I really don't think I'd like them, but I'd like to try them!

Twiglets, meaning small twigs. I don't eat twigs, I prefer food.

And while we're on the subject of poxy snacky things, Pom bear can f#ck right off too.

Have you tried snax lately? Absolutely disgusting.

Twiglets are pretty healthy, a metric shit ton of B12, wholewheat base and baked rather than fried.

They hit the market here in the 1950s if not earlier - I definitely had them in the 50s. The TV was full of adverts in the lead up to Christmas right through the 1970s. You must have seen them! They were never a big seller - a bit like matchmakers.

Matchmakers!!! Oh my god...you just brought my childhood flooding back...

We're talking classic snax. None of your modern snax horseplop

Ghosties are way nicer than the above. Can't find the hoors anymore though.

Little sh1tty sticks that taste about the same.

I rank them alongside sprouts.

Both should be wiped off the face of the earth.

If you are being force-fed food items that you dislike, you might want to question your lifestyle choices.

You can get Pepperami in any of the Applegreen motorway service areas. And beef jerky.

One of the advantages of being a grown up is that I don't get force fed any more

I'm happy to throw runner beans in with the bonsai cabbages if it makes you feel better.

They sound muck. Who wants to eat a 'healthy' snack?

Blaqueguy, with your love of Bacon Fries and watermelon, I like your style when it comes to edibles.

montyrebel

Firstly, wheat isn't healthy.

Secondly, fat isn't bad.

[In response to 2 posts up.]

It did though, it's very hard to get anything bar allsorts these days, and most of them a poor imitation to boot. And why those circular ones are in there is anyone's guess, they're disgusting.

I used to love the assortments every shop had, with pipes and wheels and red liquorice in particular, the aniseed type rather than ridiculous strawberry "liquorice". Another retarded idea.

Tesco had nice liquorice twists for a while but they replaced them with disgusting "soft-eating" stuff. Ick.

They sound healthy, or vegetarian, so either is enough to put me off them.

They're "healthy", not healthy.

Do they even wash the twigs after picking them up? There could be dog sh** or anything on them.

Were Twiglets in a blue and red packet and a load of brown salty-tasting sticks about 6 inches long?

rovoagho

As someone else asked, do these taste like pretzels or just look like them?

They taste nothing like pretzels, but they have a similar texture but are bit more whole grain texture.

J. Marston

Can anyone remember those packs of mini-pretzels they sold years ago? They came in a blue bag.

Anyway, they were fecking lovely.
