I'm not completely convinced by this new product, these hoops baked with 30% less fat. But the reluctant taste testers seemed more impressed than me. Well, what do I know?
Having said the reluctant taste testers were more impressed than me, I should add they were not mad for this baked biscuit. Yes, it's a biscuit! Really. Definitely a biscuit. All the reluctant taste testers were determined that this was a biscuit.
And is it a Hula Hoop a biscuit? You know, the actual Hula Hoop that we have been eating for years in the UK (apologies to readers from overseas who may not know Hula Hoops). No, that's a crispy snack. But not a biscuit.
But here we are with the Golden Hoops, and yes, they are a brand new crispy snack. I mean biscuit. Which isn't at all like a Hula Hoop although I suppose they are fairly hoopy. (Hey, you sass that hoopy Ford Prefect? There's a frood who really knows where his towel is.)
Anyway. Golden Hoops are made from wheat flour which has been enriched with vitamins like thiamin and niacin. Just like a breakfast cereal. Weird!
Not at all bad on the biscuity front. Sour Cream & Chive isn't my most favourite flavour but it's not a bad snack. Interestingly almost all the reluctant taste testers said they didn't really like the flavour, saying it was too strong, and I thought they tasted a bit like washing up liquid which is a bit unfortunate. However most of the taste testers seemed to eat quite a lot of them.
And it is interesting how people can say in a determined fashion that they don't like something and then go on to eat quite a lot. It happens quite often.

KP Hula Hoops Golden Hoops Salt & Vinegar
What is this? These aren't Hula Hoops. These are not the Hula Hoops I was looking for. This is a packet of hoop-shaped biscuits.
This is a packet of rather sweet hoop-shaped biscuits anointed with a strong taste of salt & vinegar.
Golden Hoops are oven baked and are completely free from all artificial flavours, colours and MSG. Of course they still taste great! says the packet. A HOLE lot of fun to keep the family happy... and the crunchy, golden baked and deliciously tasty hoop snack from the Hula Hoops family.
Hmm... the Hula Hoops family eh? Who knew? I'm still feeling a bit cheated because these Golden Hoops are not what I was expecting. And honestly not sure that salt & vinegar works too well with a sweet biscuit.
On the other hand the reluctant taste testers ate a large bowlful. So what do I know?
