  • As I am currently earring one of these new rat free bagels I am left underwhelmed. They are chewier and have less of that lovely crunchy shell.

  • My complaint is the shape of the bagel, the new one is smaller but more puffy than previous, even after I halved it, I couldn't fit in the toaster. Taste is 80% the same.

  • replying to u/Garconavecunreve: I’ve heard people say they are on par with the former absolute bagels… interesting

    They are good still, don’t get me wrong. However, the texture is off and there was not enough topping coverage. We got a dozen and it wasn’t just one, it was all of them.

  • But I think New Absolute Bagels taste just like original Absolute Bagels.
