The best biscuits ever?

[koopatroopa90]

Best I can do, sorry. BUT if you buy a pen and a sticker at the same time you could write Opal Fruits and stick it to the side of the pack?

I am actually old enough to remember Opal Fruits and the name change, although I am too young for the whole Snickers/Marathon change... I also remember Jif turning into Cif, for some reason

[kryss]

Oh ok. Those I do know. I like chocolate lesbians too, but could never eat a whole one.

Eh?

The Marathon-Snickers & Opal Fruits-Starburst name changes happened around the same bloody time (End of the 1980s)!

[wakka]

No, that's not true. Snickers has been called Snickers my whole life. Opal Fruits were renamed to Starburst in 1998 according to Wikipedia (and I remember being mystified and somewhat disappointed at the time).

You're correct about Opal Fruits. My bad - I misread Wikipedia, thought it was 1988!

Marathon changed to Snickers in 1990. I was born in 1982, and I remember eating a "Marathon" bar, as well as Marathon ads on TV. So more power to ya if you were born after 1990!

[koopatroopa90]

Yep I was born in 1990, and being around 8 when Opal Fruits changed sounds about right!

That would've made me 16 at the time.

God, I feel old now!

pfft 6 pages and not one mention of the KING, nay the EMPEROR, of biscuits, the mighty TIM TAM.

^I just Wikid them, they look a tad like Penguin biscuits. Are they similar?

For me, the NOBUNAGA of biscuits is the Lidl version of the milk chocolate 'Leibniz'-style biscuit, just enter Lidl and peruse the biscuit subsector, I've forgotten the name but that's some hotter-than-hell Leibniz action going on, right there. Plus it's well-cheap, for what you get. Absolutely amazing.

It's like the biscuity bit is just an afterthought, and it's primarily just good old Teutonic choccety goodness.

Trio & United bars, both sadly no longer with us but very fond memories.

I like the big chunky cookie things from Tesco. Choco chip with a layer of chocolate on one side. 8 in a pack in a tray. Can't remember the brand or name.

Does nobody own the rights to classic biscuit decoration? If you buy malted milk from Fox's the exact same cow near a fence image can also be seen on Aldi's own... and every other brand for that matter. Same for your custard creams and your bourbons.

Just an observation I have just made.
