Cheese Nips (New & Improved Cheese Taste)

While shopping at Safeway recently, I noticed that the Cheese Nips box was labeled “New & Improved Cheese Taste.” I was immediately interested, as I’ve always though that Cheese Nips had a slightly odd favor and they were never my first choice when buying a cheese cracker. After eating a handful or two of the crackers, I was pleased to discover that the new Cheese Nips taste nothing like the old ones. Gone is the unique flavor that Cheese Nips used to have, which I don’t miss at all. The cheese flavor is significantly better than it used to be, but it’s still not as good as the cheese flavor of Cheez-Its, the king of cheese crackers. The cheese flavor of Cheese Nips is mild, whereas Cheez-Its have a more sharp cheese taste that I prefer. New and improved Cheese Nips are a marked improvement over the old version and come pretty close to the iconic Cheez-It – but not close enough to dethrone the king.
