Looks: The crackers don’t have as smooth a surface as the ones on the box, and their color is bit more varied. (If you look closely, you can see that I managed to snap a picture of the mythical “unseparated cracker” in the top of the photograph – the fault line is there, but it was never completely broken.) 4 out of 5
Taste: You’ll notice that the box claims that these taste “Better than Wheat Thins!” I’m a big fan of Wheat Thins, but I agree with the box. Wheatable are like a cross between a Wheat Thin and a Ritz cracker. Wheaty and slightly sweet like the Wheat Thin, but crispy, like the Ritz; I had to stop myself from absentmindedly eating the whole box. What’s the deal with their shape though? 5 out of 5
Does anybody else miss the truly original Wheatables – from about 10 years ago?
OMG…I have GOT to try these now…”like a cross between a Wheat Thin and a Ritz cracker” Those are by far my most favorite of snack treats…and combined?!? Man….thank you good sir.
I couldn’t stop eating these once I started!!! Weird addictive effect and finished the box in 2 days!!!!!
these are dangerous
but soo good!!!!
… i avoid buying them
I REALLY miss the ORIGINAL Wheatables from years ago…what happened to them?
Oh how I miss the old Wheatables! Why did they ever change them in the first place!?! I keep waiting to see if the originals will come back as a new cracker with a different name but so far I haven’t found any. Boo Keebler! Bring back the original! I’m having a serious 10 year craving that I can’t fix! (Actually, I think it’s more like 15 years ago that they change them)
I miss the old original wheatables too!
I used to be able to eat an entire box of the OLD Wheatables, they were absolutely fantastic! I miss them and I want them to return. I don’t give a crap if they had trans-fats or whatever else in them. McDonald’s screwed up their pies and Keebler screwed up their crackers…how sad for anyone that never got to try the originals of either!!! They should give the people both varieties, call one “Retro” or something, and allow them to decided which they would like to consume.
