You know these have been around years yaaa?

Even have Limited Edition flavours now?


The Vanilla flavour has been out for ages?

That's news to me.

I know there are the usual suspects including choc fudge brownie, banana and strawberry but I haven't seen this one before.

Also, Spied, DID NOT Buy - Greggs the Baker's new Toffee Popcorn Doughnut. Why? I can't imagine a WORSE texture combo than popcorn... and doughnut... together.



The Greggs superstar toffee popcorn doughnut is actually AMAZING. Looks wrong on so many levels but is amazing.

Moroccan Inspired Beef Quarter Pounders With Apricot & Raisins



....What?!

DID NOT BUY.
Probably be nice Dani, a fruity element to cut through a big beefy burger is quite welcome. Just like an alternative to a pickle or sweet relish in there. Though, it depends how they've worked them in, I hope it's just flavour and not texture?

Still want to buy and try those "oddities" things.
Oddities are a bit of a let down- they're just meh, I had the cheese ones, just tasted like little jacobs cheese crackers tbh

I've had the cheese ones. They're so freaking DRY. Also the aftertaste is a bit... sour milky, didn't you think?
My friend at work really raves about the other flavour, BBQ I think it is. Are the packs generous? they look so small!

Smokey Bacon?

Not tried the bacon flavoured ones but the portions are surprisingly good - I think because they're so dry, you don't shovel them in. Take that as you will. Moreover and take note - the multipack bags are maybe only 2/3 to 3/4 the size of the single bags, though.

Totes, you tried the new Orange Coco Shreddies yet?!
I bought Bacon oddities today so will let you all know la verdict
Tried them. I ate three, and then gave them to my step dad. SO DRY. My mouth was like a desert. And the bacon flavour seemed to be there for like, two seconds, then it just VANISHED. They're the annoying texture that gets stuck in your teeth too. Not a fan of oddities.
