They are *not* horrid! They are great! Especially stale!
I have some vintage ones in the cupboard from about 5 years
ago. Unfortunately they are not getting stale! I think the
company started adding some sort of evil preservative. I mean
the packages are slit open to let the air in and the dame things
just won't get hard. I'm going to leave at least some of them
there just to see how long it actually takes for them to get
hard - if they ever do. Remember to bite the heads off first
in order to humanely eat them. You don't want the little
darling to suffer.
