I've been doing this random-album-a-day review project (highly recommend, by the way, 10/10) and it's made me really aware of how much my mood and life influences my music ratings. At the same time, I think my food & drink ratings are not (as) susceptible to such things -- more variation comes from freshness/quality (and allergen confidence from servers, at restos). But both kinds of ratings do lend themselves to the strategy of "compare directly to the previous thing you had", and here, I am sorry to say, these mini twists are less good than the Large Thins (which are also twists, in the way that all non-rod pretzels are??). I think that if I had them in the other order, I would still find these to be worse (although I will come back and correct this if it turns out to be false). Because they are small ("mini"), the texture is more full-on bready 'zel, which I disprefer. More mealy, less fun and frivolous. Yes! Less fun, even though they're wee! A slight buttery vibe, which is weird. The color is even a little bit yellow. Maybe CC'd with the butter minis? No allergy concerns, so still a fine (fine meaning "okay", not fine meaning "foine") snack. But probably my last choice for Utz Pretzel, all else (expiry dates, price) being equal. I am happy that they're still innovating new sizes and properties for their osetensibly boring pretzel line, though!
Overall
Cost: 7/10 [2$]
Taste: 6/10
