Nabisco, I Am Disappoint


Remember Nutter Butter Creme Patties? Little wafer pillows filled with peanut butter creme...every bite held an explosion of awesome peanut butteriness.  My friend Michael was visiting last weekend, and mentioned sort of out of the blue that he hadn't had Nutter Butters for quite a while. Come to think of it, neither had I - and so, it became an imperative that we get some.

The wafers were just as crisp and wafery as we remembered - but somehow, those first bites just weren't as delicious as in the past.  Michael snapped one of the patties in half and it became evident why Nutter Butters aren't quite as Nutter Buttery as they useter.

Look at that! They're only half-full of peanut butter creme! No wonder they were better years ago - there was more filling back then.

Shame on you, Nabisco.

The regular nutter butters are way better. My favorite store bought cookie

yeah, I tried these as well - no good.

I thought the Nabisco ones were the "regular". With the peanut shaped snow tread wafers and all that.

What's your version of "regular"?

I think that Nabisco & "Nutter Butter" bought out these wonderful little PB wafers. They used to have more PB in them, but looked exactly the same as the nutter butter PB crème cookies. I remember them from when I was little and I'm in my late 30's. Weren't they called Peanut Cremes, or something like that?

What do you expect? Almost all processed food products are worse than they use to be. The cost of business is much higher in our more liberal world.

LOL...I just had the wafers this morning with my daughter and told her exactly the same thing...way less filling...not as satisfying...I had those when I was a kid and I'm 60 years old...I think the peanut shaped ones came out in 1970 or around then.

Mystery solved. Here's a link for a 1952 Nabisco ad. They were called Nabisco Peanut Cream Patties. I also found photos of the same in chocolate & I instantly remembered them.
