\"Limited<\/a><\/p>\n

Are we hitting the trough of the Latino flavors wave?<\/p>\n

Not quite, but I think we\u2019ve passed the crest because here we have Limited Time Only Wheat Thins Lime. <\/p>\n

I\u2019m fond of Wheat Thins, they\u2019re more subtle than Triscuit and have more personality than saltine crackers. I\u2019m also a fan of some of the flavored Wheat Thins and I love lime.<\/p>\n

I love lime so much that when I was a child, I would gobble all the lime “gelatin gems” in those cheap variety cups before anyone could get them. <\/p>\n

I even (drunkenly) threw a bag of Skittles out of my car when I realized they replaced lime with disgusting “green apple.” If I had to buy tortilla chips for some wet-ass salsa (all salsa sucks, by the way), I would opt for the Tostitos Hint of Lime.<\/p>\n

So what\u2019s not to love about these new Wheat Thins? The nutty flavor of Wheat Thins and the zesty slap of lime. Well, you know when you finally get together with a friend you recently rekindled via Facebook and you realize “What the hell? You\u2019re nothing like your posts?!” Yeah, that\u2019s kind of like these Wheat Thins.<\/p>\n

I expected them taste like Wheat Thins with that powdery lime-zest those Tostitos have and they do, but it\u2019s all wrong. First, the lime flavor is too faint because that nutty, almost roasted taste takes over the entire cracker.<\/p>\n

\"Limited<\/a><\/p>\n

Second, I tasted more of the lime zest by licking my finger and I hate people that lick their fingers. You can even see the green specks on the cracker that mislead you.<\/p>\n

You taste the lime zest immediately, but it\u2019s so quick that you would think Hangover III stayed on the minds of the public longer. The flavor doesn\u2019t last because it mellows into an almost faint creaminess of garlic and then the familiar nutty taste ramjams your tongue like a terrible National Geographic video about wild animals in heat. RAMJAM!!!<\/p>\n

\"Limited<\/a><\/p>\n

The back of the box screams, “Taste the bold lime flavor.” There\u2019s no way to say it, but that\u2019s a lie and I don\u2019t mean “That dress looks good on you” lie\u2026I mean the “Mommy and Daddy will always love you” kind of lie. What a bunch of crap.<\/p>\n

One look at the ingredients and it\u2019s no wonder the lime flavor is as present as my parents when I was having an emotional breakdown. The ingredients list garlic powder, sour cream, and onion powder. It\u2019s as if Nabisco wanted to really do something crazy like moon someone, but then they said, “How about we moon them with our pants on? And also instead of mooning, how about we just stick our tongues out? And instead of sticking our tongues out, let\u2019s just ignore them and whistle loudly?”<\/p>\n

\"Limited<\/a><\/p>\n

The box actually has a sticker that states “People will swipe this.” I can only guess maybe in Russia where people are relegated to eating dark breads and dour potato dumplings. Okay not true, but you get the picture. Anyhow, it leads to a website called flavorprotection.com which is a site about protecting flavor and the joke falls flat. And if I\u2019m speaking about a website, then that should be another indication of how blah these Wheat Thins are.<\/p>\n

The only redeemable quality about Wheat Thins Lime is that they are just mediocre and won\u2019t offend your tongue. The resident crunch and Wheat Thins taste are still present. You can\u2019t beat them when they are topped with slices from the cheap rectangle shaped Monterey jack supermarket cheese. Well, you can, just buy normal Wheat Thins and eat those.<\/p>\n

I guess my point is why do I have to enjoy a cracker by having to eat it with something else? I enjoy sitting on the couch, shoving my hands in a box of crackers as I leave specks of cracker dust on the remote and just eating them plainly. And does one really have time to mess with slicing cheese when Cheaters<\/i> is on? By the way that new host Clark Gable III sucks.<\/p>\n

Simply put, the lime\/citrus zing is too weak, but if you like Wheat Thins in general\u2026well, you could do worse\u2026like replace Joey Greco<\/a>.<\/p>\n
