Well known product, unknown brand

[Over The Hill]

In our house a "Tunnock" is a caramel wafer. I did not know they did anything else.



The pack says they sell 4,000,000 every week but I probably eat about half of them.

Having had Ms.Admin's birthday party this last weekend, I had to test the "one bite" theory. Several times ...

It is entirely possible but after a box of 10 you don't feel like continuing the test much further ...

Cheers,
Shaun

In answer to the OP - I can't think of another product that's well known but brand unknown - not off the top of my head.

I'll have to have a think about it some more.

I'll add it to my to-do list ... lol

Cheers,
Shaun

Proto, Ian and 3BM: do you think it's possible we've all just got old?


You know when you got a selection pack, was there always one thing you didn't like? For me it was Marathons, I don't like peanuts in a chocolate context.

Are you a scriptwriter for 'Fags, Mags and Bags' the best show on radio with the exception of the John Humphries interview with a fully armed suicde bomber.

My mrs is 44 and still eats the toffee layer off a Mars leaving the spongy bit for last.
I stopped eating around the cows on malted milk biscuits by the time I was in my early twenties.

Ooh, where can i get malted milks? I used to love those.... I will probably still nibble around the cows (so to speak) when I track 'em down.

They're available in all good bicuit shops, we have them all the time in our house You can get a variety in a friesian cow style wrapper and the bikkies have different cows on them, like a cow on a motorbike, that one's called 'Kowasaki'.

Cool... I shall investigate more. Obviously they've been off my radar, while I've been concentrating on the digestive, the jaffa cake and the understated finery of the rich tea.

Ah but Chocolate Malted Milk are even better .

On the subject of Jaffa Cakes then Ant And Dec are just beginners.

Fnaar Rich Tea are the royalty of the biscuit family and as a result have to be treated with respect, They must first be tapped gently on the side of the biscuit tin to ensure there are no hidden cracks ( a potential catastrophe when dunking ), then when dunking they must be dunked with the words Rich Tea horizontal.

Don't ask me how this biscuit ceremony came about but it now seems I'm stuck and cannot stop myself

No, but I'm flattered...

Can you still get those biscuits with little sporting figures on them?

As for rich tea. <shakes head> The dullest biscuit in existance. Only good for the Archer family recipe, Spicy Squares. Crushed rich teas, mixed with butter, syrup, sugar, raisins, glace cherries, walnuts, coffee and cinnamon, then left to set in a tray, before being covered in chocolate, and cut into squares.

 

[L.E.D.]

I've never seen the point of Rich Tea either.

The Rich Tea is the noblest of Biscuits, it doesn't need fancy artwork on it to entice you to eat it, it doesn't cover it's misgivings with chocolate or some other flavouring.

It is a biscuit in it's purest form, encouraging you to find the perfect mug that it will fit into. Proudly proclaiming it's title on one side in a subtle but pleasant font, coloured to perfection, and using it's shape to pay homage to the Wheel , if you manage to dip one in dark chocolate it becomes the perfect Disc Wheel for any budding hamster wanting to try it's hand at Time Trialling.

sorry got a bit carried away at the end there

Don't get me started on those little upstarts Rich Tea fingers, What the hell are they about ? some fancy marketing idea i guess. They have no substance and break or sag back into the mug they have been dunked . Useless i say take them off all shelves immediately.
