Bring Back Original Vegetable Thins, Nabisco

Agreed. They are horrible now. I have kept purchasing them
periodically since the change to see if they would re-tweek the
recipe, but, no, an utter waste of my time and money.

Vegetable Thins used to have large flaky pieces of dried vegetable in
them and be a little salty and tangy (probably from citric acid or
something) but now they are very nondescript. They are so generic
tasting now that I have started eating roasted vegetable ritz
crackers...yes, one of the most ubiquitous crackers around, and they
are far more exciting than vegetable thins since they have changed
the
recipe.

Too bad. These were my all time favorite cracker. I used to always
keep a box in my pantry. Great with dips and spreads, or munching on
their own.

Why don't they discontinue yucky "chicken in a biscuit" and bring
back
the old vegetable thins?

Oh and I actually liked the vegetable shapes (onion, carrot, bell
pepper, tomato, celery).

Changing a recipe so it doesn't contain trans fats is a great thing,
but changing the recipe so it no longer has the flavor its loyal
customers kept coming back for, is completely ignorant. Way to
disappoint a loyal brand customer!

When I bought a box of these new and unimproved Vegetable Thins, I did
so because I couldn't find the ones I loved and figured these would
suffice until I found the real things. But the taste was nothing like
what I was expecting, and then I found that these weren't an
off-brand, poor copy - these were the new version.

Yuck. I won't be buying these and urge you to examine sales figures to
see if many other people feel the same way.

I don't care about the shape so much, but the flavor of the original
Vegetable Thins made it the best cracker ever.

Please bring 'em back!

Hear hear! I second that motion! When my husband brought some home
the other day, I remarked that it was sad that they had done away with
the vegetable shapes I had loved since I was a child. While that
produced a moment or two of wistfulness, I was still looking forward
to the flavor of them. Not only was the flavor not what I remembered,
but it wasn't even that good! I too see no reason to buy them any
more, not just because they aren't what I remembered, but because the
flavor of them simply isn't good enough that I want to spend money on
them.

I never liked Vegetable Thins, but my son used to love them. However,
he agrees with you on both points.. taste and shapes.

If the elimination of trans fats was the reason for the change in
recipe, then it has failed in this product. Trans fats have been
taken out of a lot of food items (Dunkin Donuts, for example) with no
noticeable change in taste or texture. When the result is
unsatisfactory to consumers, it's time for the company to rethink its
decision and either go back to the original recipe or discontinue the
item.

Maybe if Nabisco gets enough negative feedback, they'll go back to the
old recipe and shapes of the Vegetable Thins people know and love.

but I still have memories of my aunt, who went out and bought several
cases of Coke in case the new formula wasn't as good. It wasn't. She
had enough to tide her family (plus me on occasion) over until they
came out with Coke Classsic.

I get why companies feel the need to do these sorts of things, but
it's frustrating when they change something and you really want what
you were getting before.

It must be a transfat issue. I don't buy them often, but I noticed
recently that a can of Pringles had barely a shadow of the flavor and
texture I remember.

Maybe it was my taste buds or a bad batch, but I've noticed this with
other goods in this family.

What price progress? My parents both lived healthy lives until 80+.

I remember when they were discontinued and people were griping at me
about it. I asked the Nabisco Rep about it and he told me they were
reformulating it without Transfats.

So this is the product you get due to liberals in NY that felt the
need to ban Transfats, and then it was picked up by the rest of the
country.

Good Day
