Why Are Tasty Toobs All of a Sudden So Popular?

I want one packet to eat.

Not to resell on Facebook like MANY others are currently doing. (https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/819959078710645/?r…)

Has the world gone mad? The new Toobs are Made in Poland…..

My local Woolies said their were people waiting outside before doors opened this morning to buy boxes.

I have no FOMO, I just want to try them because I was a loyal fan back in the 2000s .

    What now? Haven't heard or tasted (or seen for that matter) any.

      I know this post may entice more people to want to try them, but at this point I would rather help this community than those SOBs out there!

    A bit ordinary the last time I was able to recall. I prefer potato chips over these. :)

      Some assholes are selling it on FB for $15 a bag. Seriously turning into Charlie/Hank from Me,Myself and Irene.

    I’m guessing nostalgia…

    Are you sure people aren’t lining up to get in early for groceries due to lockdowns? Still not ideal, but lining up to buy tasty toobs 🤔

      No the staff member said they were. I had to pull my Woolworths ex employee lingo to even get her to check out the back.
      She told me two or three people were out the front at 6:50am that beelined to the Toobs. Bloody Noobs.

        Hmmm strange, Cheezels are still better and made in Australia.

          The original ones were all about that sensation they give your mouth followed by the feeling that the inside of your mouth has beed shredded and bleeding.

          I wonder if these new ones are as good?

  • Godric on 18/08/2021 - 20:31

    dunno

    Didn't realise they were a limited release, thought they were back permanently. I'd certainly buy a bag every now and then but no way I'm paying over normal price, in fact I'd probably only buy them when on sale like I do any junk food.

  • John Kimble on 18/08/2021 - 20:52

    We managed to get a few bags, they are not the same as they used to be, the cylinder shape has some curve to it…which is actually better, doesn't shred your mouth as much.

    • iNeed2Pee on 18/08/2021 - 20:54

      Could that be why? They are an improvement and now people love them?
      I used to love the fact it used to shred my mouth.

    • bdl on 18/08/2021 - 21:46

      Can you put them on your fingers like cheezels? (Provided your fingers are same size)

  • omguleh on 18/08/2021 - 21:33

    Tried it it came back last time around, way to salty for me.

    They probably got thrown in for free with each dose of Pfizer from Pfzoland

        Reminds me of the taste left in my mouth after our interactions on here SF3! lol… Just joking.

        "Figuratively speaking"… Better? :)

    i hope they stock more of it as most places i have been sold out within the day that they go on the shelf.

    if anyone sees them let us know.

    and of course jv is one of the first commenters…nothing changes

  • whitelie on 19/08/2021 - 13:32

    Lining up? $12 a pack? WTF?
    There's been no shortage at my local Woolies the past week, didn't even think they'd be in "demand" like this?

    When In a biskit comes to an end I guess they'll go stupid with pricing as well?

  • Sammy2000 on 19/08/2021 - 15:35

    What flavour are they?
    I want to try them (when they are on sale of course) to try them.

      Supposed to be tomato. Fairly tangy from what I remember.

    For anyone in WA, Spudshed had heaps of 150g bags for $2.99. Don't think it's a great price but if they're so hard to come by?

    on the pick up invoice it says i ordered 5 but only supplied 2.

    • iNeed2Pee on 06/09/2021 - 14:30

      Good luck with it, if you get them please think of me when your eating them. Im with you!

      • Archi on 06/09/2021 - 14:31

          Melbourne!
          I've heard more are on the way. Race is on

          Toobs vs Pfizer Vaccine.

            @iNeed2Pee: i think you'll have a better chance at getting toobs.

              @Archi: Pfizer beat Toobs.

              • Archi on 15/09/2021 - 13:43

                @iNeed2Pee: i finished my 2 bags… on the hunt again.

                • iNeed2Pee on 15/09/2021 - 13:51

                  @Archi: I found one bag but I was too afraid to open them.
                  Came home and saw the misses eating them, felt like I lost a love one 🤣🤣🤣

    Still looking for Toobs.
    This situation is worse than Pfizer supplies.

    • iNeed2Pee on 15/09/2021 - 13:41

      Legit. I have already had my first dose.

      Pfizer 1
      Toobs 0

    I found a box at my local. I took em all.

    Then realised other woolies had them 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

    • apsilon on 07/10/2021 - 17:21

      I've checked for them every week while doing the regular shop. Never seen any hint of them. I'd like to try them as I did like them back when they used to be a thing but no way I'm buying from a scalper.

      • iNeed2Pee on 07/10/2021 - 21:23

        I checked your location.
        If you were in Melbourne I would have donated a packet to you.

        • apsilon on 07/10/2021 - 21:36

          Thanks but I'm not too worried if I find them or not.

    • SF3 on 07/10/2021 - 23:27

      $4 / 150g bag??

      • iNeed2Pee on 07/10/2021 - 23:40

        $3 from Woolies.
        Then use a family staff card for the added 5%. :)

  • ePayn on 17/01/2022 - 14:19

    Just had my first Australian made toobs. Dare I say that they taste stale like the reject shop copies while being months before the best before date.

    Toobs made in Poland I have had in 2021 taste like the original and Australia should be making it to the old texture and taste because I won't buy another Australian made toobs until I hear it change

    • apsilon on 17/01/2022 - 14:33

      I finally got a pack but they were the Aussie made ones. Taste was OK, close to what I remember but it has been a while. Didn't seem stale at all. The texture and size however was way off. I can accept the size but the texture was too hard IMO. I wouldn't buy them again which is a shame.

  • iNeed2Pee on 18/01/2022 - 09:14

    Just had my wisdom out, will need to wait to try the new ones before I (profanity) the other teeth 😂
