New Wheat Thins on shelf

Update: Click here to read our Spicy Buffalo and Zesty Salsa Wheat Thins review

Nabisco has yet to make a Wheat Thins flavor I don’t enjoy. They’re really good at combining whole grain wheat flour, soybean oil, cornstarch, malt syrup, and a bunch of seasonings to make crunchy snacks that make me feel like I’m eating something healthier than potato chips.

Last year, Nabisco introduced their Smoky BBQ Wheat Thins, which got a positive review not only from us, but also several of our fellow review bloggers. This year, if a couple of placeholder pages on Amazon are correct, Nabisco plans to soon release two new Wheat Thins flavors — Spicy Buffalo and Zesty Salsa.

If you’re a regular reader of this blog, you know me likey the spicy, so I’m looking forward to the Spicy Buffalo flavor. Although, I also believe zesty is besty, so I can’t wait to try the Zesty Salsa Wheat Thins.

A serving of Zesty Salsa Wheat Thins has 140 calories, 5 grams of fat, 1 gram of saturated fat, 0 grams of trans fat, 180 milligrams of sodium, 21 grams of carbohydrates, 3 grams of fiber, 4 grams of sugar, and 2 grams of protein.

    I did a survey last year about potential new Wheat Thins flavors. These were the 2 most mundane options on the list. I figured they’d choose these instead of taking a risk.

    IF they do the Buffalo right and add a hint of bleu cheese to the mix, I may try them. Most things fail miserably when it comes to a non liquid version of wing sauce (Lay’s Hot Molten Wings for example). I love Wheat Thins but also though the Smokey BBQ failed, the flavoring tasted like an afterthought.

    I’m eating them right now and they’re amazing!

    I have both the Spicy Buffalo & Zesty but haven’t got to trying the Zesty yet. In my opinion they made the Spicy Buffalo perfect, not to strong and not to weak.

  6. Thrash says:

    Found both at WalMart today. Zesty Salsa is MUCH better. Buffalo is OK but underwhelming in taste, but not heat. I won’t bother buying Buffalo again but Salsa is on my hit parade.
