    They moved production to Malaysia back in 2016 and they weren’t able (or just didn’t care to try) to make them in the same way anymore. They are just slightly curved now, not the old “saddle” shape they used to be.

    It’s also why the flavour is different too.

      That would explain some things. The wife got those circus peanut things and they tasted like hot garbage.

      Edit: This crap… The sour cream and cheddar specifically. Tasted like I was actually poisoning myself.

          The wife picked them up, tried one, had me try one, then they went in the trash. The texture is weird, not anything you’d expect at all and the flavor was disgusting. The only worse thing I’ve tried was those Old El Paso Fiesta Twist things. They were so bad I wrote the company… The churro ones taste like old cardboard that’s been sitting on a shelf and the taco ones taste like someone farted into your mouth after eating tacos.

            Great description haha. Did they ever reply to your feedback?

              They did, some generic boiler plate like “We’re so sorry! We’ve sent your feedback to our team!” I sincerely hope they did and some dude got to read that. I honestly don’t know how those made it past the taste testing phase…
