Hate. You. Limited Edition Even Thinner Wheat Thins.<\/p>\n<p>While I\u2019ve made the New Year\u2019s resolution to lose weight for the umpteenth year, and will fail to stick to that resolution for the umpteenth year, you\u2019re skinnier than the ALREADY SKINNY Wheat Thins. Yeah, I\u2019m jealous\u2026and jiggling a little as I stomp in anger, because again I never follow through with my annual New Year\u2019s resolution.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m not bitter, but this new snack sounds like someone lost a bet. It\u2019s as if two Nabisco executives were playing Wheat Thins football and one says to the other, \u201cIf I make this from across the boardroom, I can make whatever product I want no matter how cockamamy it is.\u201d Then the other one said, \u201cDeal.\u201d And so here we are with thinner Wheat Thins.<\/p>\n<p>So how much slimmer are these? <\/p>\n<p>Since I don\u2019t have an iPhone app that can measure them for me, I had to find an ancient instrument called a ruler. Regular Wheat Thins looked to be three millimeters, while these new ones appeared to be one-third skinnier. Suck it, iPhone! No, really. Suck it in if you want to be as skinny as these crackers.<\/p>\n<p>A serving size of the thin version and thinner version have the same amount of calories, fat, carbs, fiber, sugar, and protein, so binge eating either box while binge watching Jessica Jones on Netflix, binge sitting on my couch, and binge putting up my legs on an ottoman will have the same nutritional result. Although the svelte ones do have 30 milligrams less sodium. <\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/leeventnerwhtts2.jpeg?resize=600%2C450&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"450\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-78808\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/leeventnerwhtts2.jpeg?resize=600%2C450&amp;ssl=1 600w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/leeventnerwhtts2.jpeg?resize=300%2C225&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/leeventnerwhtts2.jpeg?resize=768%2C576&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/leeventnerwhtts2.jpeg?w=1200&amp;ssl=1 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Chain eating both varieties to figure out any difference in flavor made me blow past any serving sizes. You\u2019d think if this newer variety was made out of the exact same ingredients as regular Wheat Thins, they would taste exactly like regular Wheat Thins. But, surprisingly, that\u2019s not the case. <\/p>\n<p>The nuttiness in the now chubby regular Wheat Thins is a bit more noticeable than in these slender ones. Although Nabisco isn\u2019t promoting these as \u201cdiet,&#8221; their slightly lighter flavor is diet-like. But with that said, I think folks would only notice the difference if they were eating the two varieties one after another.<\/p>\n<p>The cracker\u2019s thinness did cause an issue with me. While stuffing my Wheat Thins hole with these skinnier crackers, I somehow sort of stabbed my upper palate\u2026twice. No blood, but it did hurt a little. That thinness also makes these more crispy than crunchy, which is kind of nice because eating a lot of regular Wheat Thins tends to give my jaw a workout.   <\/p>\n<p>Now with all of that said, I don&#8217;t really hate these, but I think they&#8217;re silly. Tasty, but silly. Making Wheat Thins slimmer didn&#8217;t make them better, more snackable, or more appealing. It seems like Nabisco is trying to capitalize on the success of Oreo Thins by trying to figure out what other flagship brands they can turn thin. So I guess we&#8217;ll be seeing Chip Ahoy Thins soon.<\/p>\n<p><small>(Nutrition Facts &#8211; 22 pieces &#8211; 140 calories, 45 calories from fat, 5 grams of fat, 1 gram of saturated fat, 0 grams of trans fat, 0 milligrams of cholesterol, 200 milligrams of sodium, 90 milligrams of potassium, 22 grams of carbohydrates, 3 grams of fiber, 4 grams of sugar, and 2 grams of protein.)<\/small><\/p>\n<p><b>Item:<\/b> Limited Edition Even Thinner Wheat Thins<br \/>\n<b>Purchased Price:<\/b> $2.50<br \/>\n<b>Size:<\/b> 8.5 oz. box<br \/>\n<b>Purchased at:<\/b> Safeway<br \/>\n<b>Rating:<\/b> 6 out of 10<br \/>\n<b>Pros:<\/b> Tasty.
