What happened to one of my favourite childhood snacks..
really craving them at work today. I liked the ranch flavor.. mmmm

[anarchy]

:werd:
But when we had these in elementary, they were teeny little balls, this looks different.

But agreed, they were fuckin delciious.
I heard they have them at Co-Op but I've never seen them.

[dj_rice]

From checking the website, it should be at Sobeys, Safeways and Co-op grocery stores but my guess is those stores dont order them in anymore from no demand

[ringer]

I would buy them all
hands down like 6:30

[schocker]

i think coop might have them by their produce:dunno:
they were the best in elementary school though

[n1zm0]

yeah elementary recess lol , we'd all have one and 'chug' wheat crunch, the whole thing at once then savour the seasoning flavours while playing full-contact 'world cup' soccer or bums up

[craigcd]

They are in the produce section at Sobeys.

[Cooked Rice]

I think they still got them at safeway in the produce as well.

[nos_efx]

[ringer]

LOL we did this too. Except I'd get too many in my mouth to be able to chew, so I'd spit them out like a pea-shooter at my buddies until I had room :rofl:

[Davetronz]

They have them in the produce section at the McKenzie Towne Sobeys.

No man... I played Bums Up as well, game fucking rules. Me and a few friends even played it one day in gym class in high school lol.

I fucking loved wheat crunch... I think one time I spilled mine on the ground and I went to the lengths of actually just eating it.

[Cooked Rice]

Ahahaha. Yeah i remember downing the whole bag in 5th grade.

[Dumbass17]

i used to liek wheat crunch
found it again insafeway

it's fuckin gross now haha

[sdiep]

I loved them when I was kid!

I see them at Sobeys all the time. They are in a basket near the produce section every time I go there.

ha tennis ball soccer, we called it sockey at my last elementary

[snowboard]

lol we played bums up, i think, but we called it red ass.

we also played this hacky sack game were you threw a hackey sack across the school yard and tried to hit the fence, and the other team would just try and block it.

oh elementary.

[Lilac Wine]

They taste the same now as they always have.

[r3cc0s]

saw some @ sobeys yesterday in the produce isle

[Mr. Burns]

Fuck!! I forgot all about these. Im going to pick some up and OD on them after work... then I probably wont eat it again for a few years.

[Speed_69]

Anyone know any places that still sell this? I went to the sobeys on 32nd ave ne and the one on country hills blvd but they no longer carry them. Also went to check safeway but they don't have it as well:(

[sdiep]

Haha, I want them too. I used to see them at Sobeys and Safeway as well. Are they still on the market?

[signature7]

I searched wheat crunch on google and this thread came up.

I've been to four grocery stores now and none of them have this. Anyone care to tell me where I could find some.

Thank you.

[gatorade]

whatever happend to them, they used to be so popular bacck in the day, they even attached them to the top of the alfalfa sprouts packaging, and now I dont see them anymore anywhere

[signature7]

Still no word on them? Damn, am I ever having a craving for them.

[Darkane]

Bum's up/Red ass lol.

The Woodlands Elementary version was Hot Ass. Brilliant game.

[googe]

Damn, I wouldn't mind some now. I am guessing they didn't make it south of the border.

[UndrgroundRider]

Anyone manage to find these recently?

According to their website Safeway, Sobeys and Co-op still carry them, but I've searched four of the stores nearby with no luck.

[Nav13]

Wheat crunch, pogs, devil sticks and yoyo's, the most memorable fads from my elementary days. We also used to play soccer with squash balls, sounds stupid but it was so much fun.

[govegan]

So I checked the Sinnamon Farm's website and apparently they are no longer producing wheat crunch.

from http://www.wheatcrunch.com/wc_main.html :


Thank you for your interest. At this time Sinnamon Farms is not producing Wheat Crunch. Please look for it in the future. Thank you.

says at this time, not forever... thank God!! lol

[jdmXSI]

Has anyone tried looking for these lately? Any luck?

[Disoblige]

lol.. Damn you for bumping this and reminding me of this snack.

:drool: :whipped:

my bad... :devil:

[403Gemini]

DAMNIT i had hopes somebody knew where they were in the city :( Salt and vinegar are amazeballs

[UndrgroundRider]

At this point I think it's safe to say they are gone for good.

I went on a hunt for them like 3 years ago (see earlier in the thread) and they were already closed down. No hint that they are coming back. It's a shame, because they had a tasty product. I wonder why the business failed?

[UndrgroundRider]

Did some more digging cause I happened to see this thread while I was hungry. I managed to track down the owner of Sinnamon Farms and send him a message on Facebook. I'm kicking myself for not doing this years ago when there was a chance I might be able to snag some left over product.

I will post his response back here if he gets back to me. It doesn't look like he facebooks that much though.

[master hec0]

Did you ever get a response? Man am I craving wheat crunch right now

[TheHumbleGeek]

*mutter* ya know, every now and then, I HATE BEYOND! this is one of those times.....

I miss wheat crunch... I also remember convincing my parents that its alot healthier of a snack, compared to others...


Man, Hot Azz.... think I played that once, then chickened out when people started aiming for my head.... *sigh* kids are bastards :p

[bleu]

Funny I've been craving this lately as well. I looked up the company FB page and there is talk of a possible comeback! I am keeping my fingers crossed.

[jdmXSI]

So apparently you can make your own for about 2.00 :D

Haha... my bad, my girlfriend made them and brought them to work for us snack on.

She bought a bag of wheat berries from planet organic for for $2. Then boiled to for 45~ minutes (until soft), drain the wheat and allow to dry and the broil it in the oven until its crunchy (20 minutes or so). then add flavouring to your liking and enjoy!

Hope that helps!

Yes, he did get back to me but no luck tracking any down. He did say they were trying to revive the company but that was a year and a half ago, so I guess it's not going to happen.
