This Consumer Reports: Vegetable Thins and Taco Bell's Mexican Pizza

posted Monday, 2 April 2007

In the interest of general consumption everywhere, I feel I, as a fellow consumer, must disclose the following:

Vegetable Thins

 

Vegetable Thins simply are no longer what they were.  Once, long ago, they were tasty and vegetable shaped.  Not only that, but the ridges that defined their appearance went clear through the cracker so that, on an onion-shaped cracker, say, you could break apart the circles and eat each circle separately.  Those ridges disappeared some years ago, but at least the crackers still tasted the same.  Now they are flat sort of pillow shaped crackers that taste like wheat thins dipped in vegetable broth.  Diluted vegetable broth.  Bleah.

Mexican Pizza Taco Bell

 

 

 

Additionally, the Mexican Pizza at Taco Bell has gone radically downhill in recent years.   I don't know if this happened gradually, or if I am just particularly dense, but it is clear to me now that they've decreased the amount of meat on the mexican pizza, increased the amount of bean, and completed discarded the green onion shown on the right here.  This used to be so yummy that I didn't care how messy it was - you've never been able to eat it neatly and if you get it to go, by the time you get home it'll look like it's already been in your stomach.  But yummy.  Now, not so much.  I've tried substituting the Crunchwrap Supreme for the Mexican Pizza, but it's just not the same.  So I think I'm stuck now with supreme tacos or nothing.  Gone are the days of running to the border just for that scrumptious M.P.  

The above caveats are just FYI.  No thanks are necessary.  Wink

I totally agree with you regarding the tragic decline of the Vegetable Thins. After my father went shopping I was stoked to see a box of them in our kitchen cupboard, but to my dismay, I noticed right away that the vegetable shape of the crackers were gone. I thought this was no big deal, as long as they tasted the same, but alas, it was not to be :( I miss the tangy zippy flavor of the old Vegetable Thins, what a shame!
