To the right of this test box is an image of a bag of Twistos, my new favouritest cracker. If the bag is to be beleived, they’re pretty new in general, too.
You see here the bruschetta flavour, and there are a couple other cheese-themed varieties, but they aren’t worth remembering because bruschetta is the best of the bunch, hands down. The other ones aren’t bad, mind you, they just pale in comparison to the deliciousness of the crumbelievable bruschetta flavour.
The crackers themselves are more like little bits of toasted bread than your traditional cracker, incidentally giving them a very similar texture to actual bruschetta. They’re have a very satisfying crunch to them but aren’t nearly as tough as bruschetta, and they pose little to no threat of tearing up the roof of your mouth. In fact, now that I think of it, they’re almost like croutons, just repurposed to be a stand-alone product.
The really best thing about these Twistos is that they are a semi-healthy snack and they’re cheap! Usually you only get one of those benefits, but the Twistos have got it all. There really isn’t much to them nutrient-wise, but they’re relatively low in sugars, which is my big problem area. They aren’t necessarily the healthiest snack in the grocery aisle, but they’re still worlds better than the crap I usually stuff in my gullet.
I had no idea what company produces these bad boys, and a quick Google search revealed that they were originally a Spanish-language snack that only recently made its way to North American shores. Either that or PepsiCo is ripping those guys off like there’s no tomorrow. There are other snacks in the Twistos catalogue, but give the fact that our version doesn’t have a subtitle, I doubt PepsiCo intends on bringing the other types over anytime soon. Doesn’t bother me though, because those other ones don’t interest me terribly.
I just wrote 300+ words about crackers. New low?
