And scampi and lemon Nik Naks. The unmistakable smell :)Originally Posted by Franky Four Fingers
They have changed the recipe to bring them in line with HFSS legislation. They now taste bland and ‘muted’.
They are now baked and not fried apparently.
Whilst I have got used to the taste of the new ones the first time I tasted them it really was disappointing.
Not as moorish as they used to be.
Surprised that they were ever fried.
An age ago in my first office job it was always wise to have a sniff of your phones ear piece, encase you’d won the empty scampi & lemon nic naks to ear piece roulette.
Bloody hell,, had a couple packs the other day and thought Jesus they must be out of date or something, hadn’t realised they had changed the recipe.
They always did. Cheese let's were better but they've been mucked about with as well.
That is disappointing to read, always loved a Twiglet. Christmas won't be the same again.
Whilst on the subject of Twiglets, anybody remember Worcester Sauce Twiglets? They were epic!
They were always baked. They were/ are quite a healthy snack, apparently, compared to some.
Yep, always baked & primarily wholewheat. They now just taste bland.
Loved the Worcester sauce ones but they discontinued them
I’m surprised no one else has stated the obvious: twiglets are the devils food 🤢
Burn him, stone him, sacrilege to diss Twiglets………
Make your own

Twiglets or a choice of the above… Death please 😁
Agree, hated them as a kid, they used to smell like dog shit.
The 60% salt reduction is going to do that & puts me right off trying the new ones.

I might have to dip them into a jar of XO (to bring them back to scratch).
I had some recently and thought they had gone stale
You could do what Vic and Bob used to recommend, get some twigs and smear them with marmite.
Cheers,
Neil.
Nooooooo
Regulation destroying choice daily.
Stopped buying Ribena when you could no longer buy it without sweeteners. Most Ginger Beers and Lemonade taste of the dreaded artificials now too.
That was my feeling, still ate them though……..
Absolute classic...dipping twigs in marmite. What a legend!
They were never the same after they stopped putting the long ones in those cardboard boxes.
Started out with nothing. Still have most of it left.
Wasn't that Mr Bean?

That’s disgusting 🤮
I heard that they are bringing them back , I love them but wife hates the smell double win
How I remember them, always a box at Christmas, what were they in before this?
I guess you either love it or hate it!
I think they began in the cardboard boxes but I may be wrong.
Started out with nothing. Still have most of it left.
Yes, how I remember then. Don't remember this though!

Sherbet Lemons- another casualty- try as I might I just can’t find any with a respectable sherbet quantity.
It may have been.
Old memory probably playing tricks.
Ace idea though!
Cheers,
Neil.
Yes, they came in a box, so
List in size to Maltesers (the box)
Can't beat a packet of Pork Scratchings.
Saying that, and I'm late to the party, I've just discovered Mega Puffs at Aldi. Amazing :-)
