Title: Where has my nut gone?
Post by: mary62 on September 25, 2017, 17:51:06 PM

Just bought a box of what I thought was Walnut Whips.....only to find that there is no longer a walnut on the top and no crushed walnut in the bottom. And to add insult to injury they are only 2 bites big....Now I know I have a big gob, but this is the very last straw. These sweetie manufacturers are messing with my childhood memories. :(

KKOB - are you trawling the net for food stuff related web sites or do you wait until someone posts something then see what you can find?

Either way it's a bit worrying   ;)

SteveJ, I'm a bit of a quizzer so I tend to have a very broad, but not indepth, knowledge of lots of obscure things that are going on around us. Plus I've had a number of very different and interesting jobs. I remembered reading about the "walnot saga" a few weeks ago.
