          Dry humour?

        • @jv:

          Seems that someone found it a little too dry.

        • I first read that as "Anyone sensitive to chemicals should void".

    • +1

      And Tim Tams have 26.9% fat and 44.9% sugar so no one's going to get healthy with either of them but it really is much of a muchness.

      • +1

        so no one's going to get healthy with either of them

        unless you're a starving child in Africa…

      • needs more sugar

      That's a health food in Scotland, for not being deep fried.

      • +1

        Of course you can deep fry it!

        • Deep fried Penguins… Sounds like something that will get you free media coverage.

    "It became a McVitie's brand when McDonald joined with McVitie's and Price,MacFarlane Lang & Co and Crawfords to form United Biscuits (UB) in 1946."

    Assorted Creams were formed when Sir Lucius Arnott launched a hostile takeover of McFlaherty's Shortbread Creams, merged with the Dutch House of Orange and the Count of Monte Carlo, arranged a territorial licence for Kingstons and the crumbs of the once great, but Oreo ravaged Delta Biscuit empire during the 1970s biscuit bubble. Probably.

    Definitely a bargain at that price.

  • +1

    Just buy them for the jokes on the back of each wrapper!

    • And not for the joke inside the wrapper.

      • is your surname "the Pies"

        • Hell no.

  • so much better than tim tams

  • The Emperor of chocolate biscuits.
