It’s a Dempsters #WinWithTHINS Twitter Party!

September 4, 2013 By Lena

Once upon a time… a very long time ago… I gave up the good stuff. You know – the stuff that begins with the letter C.

Carbohydrates. 

A staunch anti-carb activist, I banned scrumptious foods like bagels, breadsticks, potatoes and pastries from my diet. For the most part, I survived… but I was just a shell of my former self. Barely recognizable; I was moody, depressed, and flat out craving the sweet comfort of delicious, soft, chewy bread.

And so, I caved. With just one bite of a Dempster’s Everything Bagel, lightly buttered and oh-so satisfying… I was off the wagon for good. No longer a slave to a high-protein diet, I found happiness. I found security. I found love.

But I also found myself wondering: Isn’t there a happy medium? Couldn’t I have my bread… and eat it too?

And just like that, the heavens parted, and Dempsters created Dempsters THINS. With 50% less calories than the leading competitor, even carb counters can rejoice!

Dempsters THINS are available in a 100% Whole Grain Tortilla, Multigrain Loaf, White Loaf and Whole Wheat Loaf. And they’re not just for the carb conscious – they’re also for the health conscious, or weight conscious – because if there’s one thing that North Americans need to do, it’s tone down our serving size. And Dempsters THINS allows us to enjoy all the benefits of multigrain and wheat products… in a slightly slimmed down portion. Perfection!

Another bonus: they’re a great option for little lunch boxes! My little guy loves a good sandwich, but often complains that there’s “too much bread”.

(Huh. In time he will learn there is no such thing.)

That’s why Dempsters THINS are perfect for elementary school sandwiches – all the nutrition, served light! I can’t wait to experiment with the 100% Whole Grain Tortillas – if you’re a loyal reader, you know that we like to #WrapitUp :)

Of course, the BEST way to celebrate the new Dempsters THINS is with a Twitter Party!


For your chance to win, RSVP below. Looking forward to partying with you!

    I don’t like a lot of bread either, not because I am counting carbs or calories, but simply because, as your little guy says “There’s too much bread !”. I remember my aunt always used to buy the thin sliced loaves of bread, and the bakeries always used to have 2 slicing machines, thin and regular. Glad to see Dempster’s offering thin slices again :o)

    Everybody have fun at the twitter party !!

    I love bread & pastry. I don’t care what anyone says. I have never stopped eating it, nor will I. I am happy, healthy, and in great shape. Carbs are always going to be a part of my awesome life. :D
