Asda Cheese Thins

Now you seem them , now you don't, does that saying sound familiar ? Let me explain myself, I love anything cheesy, crisps, snacks, cheese straws, cheesy biscuits, they have addictive qualities. You open the packet with the intention of just eating a couple and before you know it you are nearing the end of the packet, so you eat the last few and stick the wrapper into the waste bin and hope that nobody notices it languishing there. But I am trying so hard to curb myself, maybe I need to undergo some therapy so that I can resist succumbing to temptation. Asda do a tasty cheese thin, I have noticed that the picture on the site shows them in a blue ...  Read the complete review

BACKGROUND One of my biggest vices has to be biscuits. If I’m sitting down with a drink or cooking food, I always seem to end up with my hand in the biscuit tin. I’m particularly fond of cheese biscuits, but find that branded ones are quite expensive. On one of my frequent visits to Asda’s, I went on a mission to find a cheaper alternative. PRODUCT The biscuits that I found and decided to test are made by Asda and are called ‘Cheese Thins’. They are only available in one size of packet – namely 150g and they set me back 47 pence. PACKAGING The packaging makes these look quite appealing, as ...  Read the complete review

This is Asda's version of McVities Cheddars, but a good bit cheaper. You get these in Asda in the Biscuit aisle. The pack is 150g and these cost me 46p. The packaging is alright. It is a light blue colour and since the other Cheese related products are yellow or light orange, then these stick out on the shelf. There is the obligatory picture on the front of the Biscuits and they look alright. The pack fits the Biscuits alright, and it is one of those annoying packs where you rip open with the little tab. This makes them easy to open, but I always find the tab opens these about 6 Biscuits in, so I feel like I either have to eat all the Biscuits to ...  Read the complete review

The light blue packet is almost a complete opposite of my favourite cheese biscuits, these of course being McVities Cheddars. The picture on the front of the packet (on either side of the embossed lettering stating that the packet contains cheese thins) does give the impression that these are similar to Cheddars. I guess I should have got the message straight away when they were considerably cheaper than my favs. I can't recall exactly but I think they were in the region of 59p. I'm not going to write paragraphs criticising these biscuits, because basically I got what I paid for. A very poor interpretation of a McVities Cheddar. They were indeed crisp enough ...  Read the complete review

I love cheese and anything related to it so when I saw these, I'd thought they'd be a nice treat for me but also a good little snack for Noah too. A 150g packet cost me 47p which I thought was very reasonable. The packet is easy to open as it has one of those bits that you pull which unravels the top part so you can get to the biscuits. The only annoying thig about this is you need to eat at least five or six before you can cover the top biscuit. The biscuits did indeed live up to the 'thin' bit in the name. They were very thin and were obviously trying to copy the Mcvities variety as they were a nice golden yellow with holes dotted over the ...  Read the complete review
