Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, the snack nazis just killed them....
Just came back from the shops to grab a snack while the Xmas tree goes up far too early, the flavour has gone and they've been ruined guys!!

I love Twiglets, but only the coating.

They were the snack of my Parent's drinks parties in the 1960s. Until it was discovered that as a toddler, I was licking off the marmite and putting the twig bit back in the bowl.

Are you sure it's not your sense of taste that's the issue??

Recipe changed some time back (2 years perhaps) and not as good now.

However, I am trying hard to wean myself onto them as no other option.

Granted, a first world problem!

Initially with the topic heading I thought they were being discontinued, i was gutted.
I find the odd time there isn’t much flavour then other times really tasty. Suppose like most crisps etc. sometimes full of flavour and sometimes not.
My go to snack as a treat, the big bag of twiglets and a glass of Pepsi. Rock and roll days for me!
My lad who’s 14 is also a fan of them with Pepsi. Mouthful of twiglets and a drink of Pepsi.

Dip them in marmite as you eat them.

Do you also remember when they used to do spicy ones (I think usually at Xmas) - they were lovely and released before the trend for spicy things. Despite the market calling for spicy snacks they have never revived them, which is a shame.

They did curry flavour and worcestershire sauce flavour, the later being the greatest snack ever invented. Absolute bds.

Just leave some Nik Naks open on the windowsill for a few months.

Problem solved.

As someone who has Twiglets in their top 3 greatest snacks of all time, I think this word of their demise is greatly exaggerated.

I had a bag a couple of weeks ago and they were great? Unless they've changed the recipe in the last month or so then there's no difference to how they've been tasting for years.

Have you just not had any for a few years? I'm usually right there on the front line to complain about snacks/drinks when they alter a recipe but honestly, I've noticed no difference with Twiglets.

I think it was last Christmas when I bought some and happened to see the horrified reviews...

But they seemed the same to me at that time. Not had them since so they may have changed.

I suppose I’m just going to have to go out tomorrow and buy some! Just to see if they have changed you understand, it has nothing to do with me being a bit of a pig when it comes to savoury snacks!!!!

I can't eat them without thinking about the Mr Bean episode where he whips his own up with exactly that.

I make my own for my packed lunch.

Coat two slices of Ryvita with butter then slaver on the marmite.

Squeeze together so that the marmite oozes through the holes.

Wrap in foil and take to work.

By lunchtime you'll have a giant twiglet smile
