Curry Twiglets - vanished without trace

I got an email the other day from a journalist on The Grocer magazine. he was desperately trying to find a picture of Curry Twiglets to accompany an article he was working on,

I am a journalist writing for The Grocer magazine. I am writing a feature about the snacks industry, part of which is taking a nostalgic look back at Curry Twiglets. I need an image though and the current brand team has none. I saw your blog and wondered if you had any pictures of the Curry Twiglets packaging you could email to me?

I don't have any. I had a hunt around and I couldn't find any either. But, what is it with United Biscuits and Twiglets? They appear to be so bloody useless. Zero web presence of any use. A brand team who take eight phone calls to respond to a simple request for information from a journalist and now they can't find an important artefact from Twiglets of yore. It's fairly clear, they simply don't give a toss about Twiglets.

Crisp eaters call for respect

Intelligent analysis from errr... me on the Word of Mouth food blog. Give us back our crisps. The general theme being,

"It's a truth universally acknowledged that crisp manufacturers in
possession of stonkin' great fortunes couldn't give a monkey's toss
about you." more here.

The mysterious disappearance of Jacob's Curry flavoured Twiglets - SOLVED (kinda)

"Unfortunately we no longer produce this flavour"

Hmmm... you don't say... I think the crisp community kinda worked that one out themselves. Pretty much a non-answer here. But, looking over the case for Tangy Twiglets and Worcester sauce flavour Twiglets, I think it's reasonable to assume we won't be seeing these fiends again. and that we any subsequent fleeting flavour appearances will be limited, special and consigned to the crisp history where are they now? files fairly sharpish.
