Safeway had a coupon for Wheat Thins, $0.99 for a 10 oz box, so I
bought some. When did they turn orange? I remember them being kind of
tan, but it's been a long time since I bought them.

Nabisco Wheat Thins *are* supposed to be tan. What type did you buy?
No clue how you ended up with orange.

Randall's here in Texas is having the same special deal. Did you
also get the $.99 butter and $.99 Kraft Mayo? I got two of
everything (went through the lines twice) except the Wheat Thins.
I can't stand Sandy Duncan.

(Whatever you do, don't get the Orange Cream Hershey Kisses. I
still can't find the Cheery Cordial Kisses).

The last time I bought Wheat Thins they were tan colored. Do they now make
a cheese flavored Wheat Thin maybe? We have a mixed marriage... my husband
prefers Wheat Thins and Sociables, whereas I'm strictly a Triscuits kinda
person.

Randall's has scaled down quite a bit in the Houston area. Afraid there are
none near me anymore. Did get four lbs. of Land o' Lakes butter for $2/ lb.
at Kroger.

Hmmm, they were tan the last time I bought them some time last year. (And
for a moment, from the subject line I thought they'd started making orange -
like the *fruit* - Wheat Thins and I was saying to myself ewwww!)

They were just the "original" Wheat Thins, Nabisco, etc. They aren't
orange like mac-n-cheese powder, but definitely orange and not tan.

Got the butter, no go on the mayo. We're going back tonight to get
more butter.

The artificial color is turmeric oleoresin. That might explain the
orange.

The nutrition label also sucks. It doesn't say how many wheat thins per
serving, just 31 grams, a little inconvenient. THE BUMS!!! The
ingredients aren't too impressive either. A genetically modified (high
fructose corn syrup) cracker!

I wonder how many wheat thins there are in 31 grams?

I usually buy the low-fat, DH did the shopping and picked up the
full-fat variety last week. I noticed they were orange as well. Must
just be the current batch of coloring.

I ripped out 4 more coupons from the stock of flyers in the front
of the store so I can go back and get more $.99 butter later in
the week.

These are the only occasions I shop at Randall's/Safeway. We
have a much better grocery store in Texas: H.E.Butts.

I like HEB, but it seems like their prices have gone up lately. Our local
HEB carries prime beef which can be hard to find unless you go into trendy
SW (bad traffic) Houston.

That's ok. When they started adding fruit flavorings to water I thought
to myself how ridiculous. But then I tried raspberry flavored water.

Not bad but still slightly ridiculous.

I started adding fruit flavour to water way back before that stuff they sold
called "Clearly Canadian". Should have gotten a patent on it. But! Orange
flavoured wheat crackers would make one pause and shudder.

Ranee,

I was in a store yesterday and spotted Wheat Thins. Question: did you get
the "low-fat" variety? I ask because the two boxes were side by side and
the photo on the front of the low-fat Wheat Thins had a definite orange cast
while the "original" looked tan in the photo.
