I like ginger nuts, and frankly, I could not be any more sophisticated.

I am shocked at this daft pr piece's inexactitude.

Shocked, I tell you.

McVities don't make them so they don't feature.
The biscuit lobby are not to be trifled with.
McVities are part of the United Biscuit corporation, which is owned by a Turkish biscuit investment vehicle, having been purchased from The Blackstone Group, an American multinational private equity, investment banking, alternative asset management and financial services corporation based in New York City.

I don't doubt it having visited this website a few times.

I have the very occasional Oreo but, otherwise, I abstain.

Here's what a biscuitologist of world renown has to say on the matter....

That website has enhanced my life. I especially enjoyed his description of St David's Day. I found myself reading the list of biscuit categories in my head in the posh cockney that Celia Johnson deploys in the 1944 film of Noel Coward's This Happy Breed.

Ginger Nuts, partially correct.

I tend to go here for all things biscuit related.

Ginger nuts have to be the Chicken Vindaloo of the biscuit world. Not only are they often gingery enough to actually be spicy but they are also quite hard.
Once again McVities are head and shoulders above the competition, probably due to a no compromise approach to sugar content. However, that said you have to try hard to get a bad ginger nut.
Years ago you could get big bags of mini ginger nuts made by Jacobs I think. They were superb but you needed at least 20 of them before they began to work.
Finally due to their very crunchy nature, ginger nuts cause weird flashes to appear on computer monitors if viewed across a room, whilst being munched. Its true.
