D'you mean what I always called "hard" Cheetos?? If so, colour me excited!!! Where can you get NikNaks?? I've never heard of them!


i guess so!  there were 'baked' (in the blue bag) and 'fried' (in the red bag) when i was a kiddie... the fried ones are hard and crunchy, and the baked ones were puffy, so i think we are on the same page!

NikNaks are in supermarkets in multi-packs, which will contain 3 flavours -- spicy, cheesy, and bbq rib flavour!

I'll look next time I'm shopping. But it seems a shame to waste the BBQ rib flavour.  [smiley=bleck.gif]

ok, as a DIE HARD cheeto fan, i found an acceptable sub. Ive tried wotsits, and they make me ill, and much to my surprise and pleasure, asda own brand are very convincing!! the ones i got were the multi pack onion ring, salt and vinegar stick, cheese puff kind. I found wotsits too strong and these beauties were juuuuust right!!!

NEWSFLASH we interupt this 'frito forum' to bring you some nutrageously news.

A few shops in our town (NE Scot) sell Reece's Nutrageous and Peanutbutter Cups. The Cups must be popular because they are sold out quick, that or some yank is buying them up. I know I tend to buy about 10 packs!

I see candy pirate (ad on UKY homepage) are selling Reece's cups for like £1.10!!!! Woolies, WHSmiths and a few smaller sweetie shops sell Reece's Cups for 35 or 40 p. Think cp need to do their homework a bit better.

Happy cup hunting, Desert Dreamer

Now only if the 'real' Walmart would stand up and be counted as a true American import and stock 'real' root beer (Barq's, A&W)..

Floatingly yours

I think you'll soon locate them. I scan the sweet aisles and swear I could pick out a Reece's from a hundred paces, blindfolded. Like I said my woolies always seems to have the nuts but the space for the cups gets emptied real quick. They certainly seem to have taken a foothold in the market.

The bastards seem to have replaced the cheesy ones in the multi-packs with scampi flavour.  If it ain't broke, why fix it?!?  >:(
