TUC Off!

Right! Shit's going down and it's about to get serious! I'm bringing out the big guns in terms of topics for this post!

What the HELL has happened to TUC cheese sandwich biscuits???

There was a time when I could quite happily sit in bed and devour almost an entire packet of those delicious, salty, cheesy crackers. Savouring every mouthful as each morsel melted into a softened soupçon of cheddar goodness on the tongue. Now I fear they've undergone a transformation so hideous, it rivals Robert Sugden's recent incarnation in Emmerdale.

GONE are the delightful crumbly textured crackers to be replaced by plasticised, bone hard dog biscuit style slices. GONE is the velvety sea-salty, creamy cheese filling to be replaced by a ghastly fluorescent orange, 'Cheese Whizz', piped style offering that is truly foul and boasts a suspiciously sweet undertaste.

What gives??!!??

Maybe it's some insidious ploy on behalf of the manufacturer to have a crack at tackling the obesity crisis by making a snack so vile, one can only stomach a couple at a time? Failing that the company could be following the current Government's line of issuing 'reforms', which rather than making things better, they make things a bloody sight worse?

Either way, I want my old TUC crackers back please. Until then, I think they should be 'TUC' off (boom-tish) the shelves to undergo some serious scrutiny to rival Coca Cola's ill fated tinkering with their classic formula back in 1985.

In the meantime I'm sticking with Ritz crackers, at least they're as yet untainted by the evil canard of the' New & Improved' formula!
