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

The problem with regular flat Wheat Thins are that they aren’t very friendly when it comes to being able to play with them. <\/p>\n

All I can do with a square Wheat Thin is use it as a paper football replacement or break one in half and use the two pieces to create buckteeth whenever I want to offend rednecks or upset the entire Japanese population by recreating the offensive stereotype of Japanese people found on U.S. World War II propaganda. <\/p>\n

But with the new Fire Roasted Tomato Wheat Thins Crunch Stix, I can think of multiple playful possibilities.<\/p>\n

Some of the things I can do with the round, three inch long Wheat Thins Crunch Stix include:<\/p>\n

1. Playing pick-up sticks.
\n2. Recreating the Star Wars lightsaber scenes using my now worthless Beanie Babies.
\n3. Producing an ineffective shiv.
\n4. Pretending to have walrus tusks.
\n5. Making any Ken doll anatomically correct.<\/p>\n

\"Fire<\/a><\/center><\/p>\n

While the Wheat Thins Crunch Stix are much more fun than their flat, square cousins, I can’t say they’re as addictive. Their fire roasted tomato flavor was nice for the first few stix, but, strangely, the flavor disappeared after chain eating about five of them. It was like my tongue got used to its flavor, much like how my nose has gotten used to my own flatulence.<\/p>\n

Once the fire roasted tomato flavor disappeared, they tasted like low sodium Wheat Thins, which are decent when I’m trying to prevent hypertension, but aren’t as addictive as regular Wheat Thins. Speaking of wholesome products, these Wheat Thins Crunch Stix brag about having 11 grams of whole grain per serving. But that isn’t really impressive since a bowl of Cookie Crisp has 8 grams. <\/p>\n

Overall, the Fire Roasted Tomato Wheat Thins Crunch Stix are a mediocre snack. Sure, its shape allows me to stick them in every orifice on my body, but I don’t think they have enough flavor on them to disguise the fact I stuck them in every orifice on my body and placed them back on the party tray I got them from.<\/p>\n
