I was dissapointed when i bought a packet 20.05.09 and they were not fresh.Sel by date 25 July 09 and yet they were hard, not the usual melt in your mouth taste. Please check if you had any other complaints as we rely on cheesecurls as our happy food, now i was sad Hi, i love willards cheesecurls and eat them too often.

"It’s the classic “hot girl” and “underdog” mix in an advert that has worked for many years; why mess with something good?" Yawn. You want them to stick with what every other brand is doing and copy every other ad they've ever done? No no no, boring. Rather have them step out of the norm and fail (I'm not sure they failed) at something new & different then sort of succeed at something old and boring. Furthermore - You say that the party animal advert plays to 14 yr old... and you think a dork at a party with hot girls doesn't? That's every 14 yr olds biggest nightmare, is that he is the dork at a party with hot girls who don't even know he's there. I think that the Animal advert above isn't the best of the best. But when I first saw it I enjoyed it because it was fresh for a chip company. It wasn't the norm and didn't make me yawn.
