> [@markg](#): > > I don’t know wtf happened to Twiglets these last few years but they might has well have just stopped making them, fucking awful now. Never the same since they stopped coming in a Maltesers type box tbh. I have an addiction to Twiglets. I get my parents to bring over as many bags as possible every time they come over every 2-3 months. Both kids love them, as does my brother in law. Wife fucking hates them, says I smell like I’ve been eating dog biscuits. But what does she know? _She can just go fuck herself._ ---

Never the same since they stopped coming in a Maltesers type box tbh. That’s nonsense, Twiglets still slap. I think the ones that come in the big tub are different, the sticks are shorter. They’re usually only available around christmas though 😿 ---

Short twiglets are wrong. Although you can more in your mouth. On Christmas snacks did you lot try the paprika mini cheddars (also in a tube) jesus they were banging ---

There are so many good new mini cheddar flavours that have come out in the last 2 years. Ploughman’s for starters. ---

It really isn’t, you can get the odd passable batch but every other bag I’ve had lately half of them were burnt to fuck and other bags had just hardly any flavour. Something’s going very badly wrong with quality control at that factory and its definitely not just my imagination. Pretty sure that the recipe isn’t quite the same as it used to be either. ---

The burnt ones are the best ones! And the twiglet dust that collates at the bottom that you can scrape out with your fingers ---

Twiglets with a christmas sandwich, some gherkins and a pint of Guinness about 8PM on Christmas Day is the best. ---

Gunna back @wayout here. Have eaten Twiglets for 30+ years and they aren’t different. Also drinking the dust is a different hit. ---
