I'm addicted to twiglets!

What do you suppose that means? (I'm definitely not pregnant!)

I'm not eating them all day long, but there isn't a day passes when I don't have some. I'm a bit worried about the salt intake actually, do you think they're doing me any harm?

Could be that they are giving you some vitamin or mineral that your body needs, hence the craving. Twiglets are like marmite on a knobbly stick, aren't they? I hate marmite but love twiglets. If you like marmite (or similar) though you could try if switching to that helps ease the craving?

You never know, maybe I'm lacking one of the B vitamins ( I can't bear the smell of B vit tablets but love Vegemite and twiglets ) They smell similar.


Marmite is too salty for me.

It could be that you're craving the salt intake? DH sometimes sweats A LOT (sorry if that is TMI) so comes home thirsty and craving salted peanuts. He's not pregnant either :rotfl:

could there be something else in them that is coursesing the craving? there are certin foods that i dint have now as i went mad on them as soon as i had one...... white flour is one of the things that sets it off....

It could be the MSG in them, (I think twiglets have MSG anyway!) MSG is mildly addictive.

Nah!

wholewheat meal (77%), flavouring (yeast extract,vegetable extract), spice
extracts (contains celery seeds), niacin (riboflavin), vegetable oil, salt, dried cheese , white pepper.

Oh well, better than smoking I suppose (haven't done that for years tho)

Isn't there a Mr. Bean episode where he makes twiglets by getting twigs and dipping them in marmite? Would save you a bit of money anyway....

I'd sooner have a Winalot muncher as a patient that a Polo or Cola addict!!!
