Gwyn......the new ones are called X Factor ones !! LOL

Sharron, I might try that drink for hubby as he loves OXO drinks.

Shelly puts one in her tin of tomatoes, and reckons its the biz.....

Shelly if you read the web site I put on here it does say they are more concentrated, so meaning getting away with the weight excuse !!

....runs and looks in cupboard

oohhh the new box I bought recently are the new shape!

I put one in the bolognese sauce when we have spag bol

x

Two green OXOs in a pint mug of water with about two teaspoons of mint jelly.One of my favourite drinks,might have to go and have some in a minute.

Lol... We'd better take a photo of our old fashioned cubes then

Note... Cubes.
What will we call the new ones.?

Gwyn

Whenever one of us kids was poorly, Mum always gave us a cup of oxo with a slice of bread. I made this for myself once in the ward kitchen, and found myself explaining to a gynaecologist that it put the salt that you lost during an op back into your body, and she believed me!

Oh! I am a retired engineer, and would,(I am sure) be able to detect a different shape hiding in the foil.........LOL

but squidge away, in whatever method turns you on!!

LOL

Bob

Bob, if you squish them in the foil, you will not have the pleasure of seeing if they are X ones .....LOL

Next time look first , its funny seeing the shape ......don't look right on such a memorial old OXO cube ....after all they were first made 1899 ..... think ..LOL

I squish the cubes while in the foil, also,
but not come across(NO pun intended there)the new shaped ones yet.........

Bob

When I was young .......a little girl Awwhhhh, I used to buy them instead of sweets . you could get 2 for a penny halfpenny .....oh dear don't know to type that !!

So that's why I still love them now and I do have them in Hot water as a winter drink ....

I used them tonight Marilyn, in my onion gravy.

Linda, I used to have them as a drink after swimming lessons as well, we got a cracker with the drink...........not sure why they gave us a cracker though.

LOL... Gwen ......so you don't cook either ..!!

I didn't even know they made them, let alone bought X shaped ones....Lol !


Gwyn

OK.. OK ...OK ,


So I have old OXO's cubes until last week when I bought some new ones ....

But still think I have been diddled out of the amount in the X shaped cube.

Pauline & Linda, glad you got the old ones as well.....Shelly is just showing off ,just to let us think she does more cooking than us ....LOL

Didn't know it was because of X factor ......

Don't worry Pauline mine are all square too. Either I missed them or they didn't have them here LOL

I add them to Bisto too, and if making stew or soup.

I used to have them as a drink after swimming lessons in an open air pool, it was always freezing then. Very evocative

Linda :o) XxX

Well our shops must be miles behind because mine are cubes.

I don't put them in tinned tomatoes Shelly, but I alway put them in with my Bisto gravy.

I haven't been anywhere Marilyn lol ...not even crumbling my Oxo Cubes (well very rarely )unless it is a casserole and I use Bist* as well as the X shaped thing !

Well, I got all the answers ...LOL

Should have done my research first .

Silly me.......

Hello Jane.

Long time no see.....where have you been ?

So looks like we are being cheated out of out OXO'S in quantity .

Well shows how often I cook ........Not very ..!!

I was just going to say the same, Linda.

I usually put mine individually into a jar with tight-fitting lid, though.

Box of 6 says 35grms.... so your X shape isn't depriviing you!.

EDIT
Oh... Thanks for explanation they wouldn't fit in my jar, so easily then.
