Mini Cheddars: they look like crackers and taste like them too, but they’re stuck in the crips aisle alongside Walkers. So which are they?

Well, what if we told you they’re neither…? 🤯

This isn’t the first time we’ve been here. Some people still won’t accept that Jaffa Cakes are (shockingly) cakes, despite the brand confirming that they’re legally designated as such.

But for the Mini Cheddar, the picture is a bit murkier...

Housemates Lauren Hurrell, Dany Levinson and Eva Botha decided to investigate and conducted a poll, asking people ‘Are Mini Cheddars crisps or crackers?’

Perhaps unsurprisingly, 71% chose crackers over crisps. (they literally look like crackers!)

Not satisfied with the result, they reached out to United Biscuits - the people behind the Mini Cheddar - for a definitive answer.

Except, that just made it worse.

United Biscuits told the trio that Mini Cheddars weren’t in fact crackers, but they weren’t crisps either.

Instead, they're ‘baked snacks’(???).

To try and get some clarity on this genuinely perplexing issue, Metro also reached out to the company.

Abbie Pollington, Brand Manager at Mini Cheddars, told us: ‘As a mini version of our classic Cheddar biscuits, we call them Cheese Snack biscuits.'

‘However, as people often eat our bigger brother with cheese like a cracker, and our mini versions are served in a bag as well as being found alongside crisps in the supermarket aisle, we can see how people may strongly feel they should be referred to as crackers or crisps.’

Now, we don’t know about you, but that doesn’t really clear things up for us 🧐

What do *YOU* think Mini Cheddars are?
