Me too. I'm working my way through four packets over the weekend!
Question of the week - these or double-coated chocolate Tim-Tams?
Tim tams if you wish to drink tea through it.
The digestives are slightly healthier and you get more per packet.The digestives are slightly healthier
Yeah, I know I usually reach for the biscuit's when I want a healthy meal, good choice. Nothin like refined flour and sugar named something vaguely to do with colons for a healthy treat.
THE INGREDIENTS IN THIS BISCUIT DO NOT CONTAIN ANY SUBSTANCE THAT ASSIST DIGESTION
@Diji1:
I know! I tried dipping fruit into my tea but it's not the same. :/
The question was Tim tams or Digestives?
Digestives are slightly healthier as it contains less sugar.
Oh yes me too! I find the milk ones too sweet.
Still made in the UK?
ahuh.. ahuh
Warming up the car then…
cheap flights to UK!
Damn, I didn't notice this yesterday. They go well with almost any cheese.
sorry… but thats a bit cheesie!
Last week my wife insisted we pay $4.40 for a pack because I like them with cheese while watching Tour de France on SBS. I'll probably get 5 packs on Monday or Tuesday.
You put cheese on a chocolate biscuit? O_o
My favourite part about these biscuits is that even though they call them "digestives" they are legally forced to print a disclaimer on the packaging acknowledging that not a single ingredient in them aids digestion in any way, shape or form. Not sure why anyone would eat these rather than a pack of Tim Tams or similar.
Why? Cos they are yum.
Your negative vote re name of product may be invalid.
Half price choc biscuits (that are obviously popular) is a valid bargain.
No the neg is valid.
Warning people about the misleading nameIt's just a name.
Has anyone sued Apple because their phones are not round and juicy ?@systmworks: but this is a food. It is not unreasonable to expect 2 weeks of diarrhoea after eating something which such a name.
They are cheaper than Tim Tams?
Have to grab a few packs, great biscuit to have with a cuppa.
Just don't worry about them being called 'Digestives' they believed weird things back in the 1800's https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digestive_biscuit
About 8 years ago Coles discontinued their own-label Digestives. My wife thought I was crazy to buy 15 packs but at 20c they were an excellent substitute for these.
I never liked those much, just go to Aldi and buy $1 arrowroot biscuits.
Those are good value but rather different to Digestives.
I never liked you much.
Why are you being personal? that was rude.
I could say the same about your comment, Digestives are scrumptious!
These are great, bought a lot of them when they were on special for 0.99c at riteprice.
Was that the 400g pack?
Yes, Caramel
I'm impressed. Superb deal for 99c but no Rite Price in NSW.
@PJC: Riteprice I Think are like NQR in victoria. Thet sell discontinued line, short "Best Before" items. I just picked up a box of 12 Packets of Grainwaves large packets for $3..
Chocklit HobNobs!
16.8% sugar … no thanks.
It's all relative.. Tim Tams are 44.9% sugar, according to the Arnott's website.
I find them sickly sweet but even that was a surprise.
It might be relative but both are junk food.
I guess at least these unhealthy biscuits have less sugar than most of the crappy breakfast cereals. I stick with one of the lowest .. Kelloggs Corn Flakes at 8% which still isn't great .. but I am still not a very healthy eater.
yep agree $2.20 is still a bit pricey for only 16.8% sugar
Just had a can of Lift softdrink … only 8% sugar .. not bad really.
how much did the lift cost you
Haha … I know where you're going with this …
LIFT
it was half-price so about $6 for 12 cans
so 50c per 375ml can
375ml = 30g of sugar (based on 8%)
1g of sugar = 1.6cDIGESTIVE
$2.20 for 400g packet
400g = 68g of sugar (based on 17%)
1g of sugar = 3.2cLIFT WINS … image the bargain if you bought a higher sugar soft drink like Coke at 11%!
These are good for making cheesecake base!
Yes, so are Arrowroot, which are cheaper.
And less sweet
but causes less diarrhoea.
I like them straight, no dunking at all
Thanks OP I scored 5 packs today. They were $1.99 at IGA a few months ago but this is still good.
My favourite when I lived in England and my favourite especially when they're half price. Three boxes came home with me today. Prefer these over Tim Tams any day.
I like the dark chocolate coated ones.
