Biscuits we need on this most Monday of Mondays.
Is there anything in this or in any other world better than a cuppa tay and a nice biccie? If you think there is, you’re wrong and need serious medical attention...so seriously stop reading this and get yourself checked out...we’re ACTUALLY worried about you.
For the rest of us this delicious duo are a match made in taste heaven and whilst the current crop of crunchy offerings are perfectly fine, but simply being sent to the shop for biscuits can become a stressful task as you are often faced with what seems like thousands of options.
Sometimes we just want to go back to a simpler time when choice was small but somehow the biscuits were that bit sweeter and that bit crumblier.
Here’s a few we’d like to see back where they belong...stacked up beside our cuppa scald.
54321’s
An absolute and instant classic when they burst into out lives in the mid 80’s. They had it all, chocolate, wafer and a cheeky bit of luxurious caramel. We’ve no idea what the numerics were about but they won our hearts and stomachs with a seriously catchy jingle!
Blue Ribands
Your Nan’s favourite. Blue Ribands were the Daniel O’Donnell of biscuits and wouldn’t. Wafer, chocolate...that’s yer lot young man now pop on the snooker.
Trio
New is just breaking that Trio’s are set to make a comeback. What a time to be alive. Also what happened to proper TV Ads with songs that stuck in the brain. Trio’s filled the lunchboxes of many the enviable child in school. This writer used to get half an apple. Not bitter me...nope....not one bit.
Party Rings
No kid’s party was even WORTH discussing without the presence of Party Rings. 97% icing and 100% diabetes inducing you would be up for a week after chomping through 26 of them and puking up 11.
Mariettas
For those spoiled with choice and cursed to walk the earth with no imagination, Marietta biscuits could seem to offer nothing more than a step above sweetened drywall. Much like their bigger Rich tea cousins, Mariettas do not possess the constitution for tea dipping. They are gifted with another purpose and that is to allow you to join two with a proper scraping of real butter. Deelish!
Iced Gems.
Not much to discuss here. The only nice part was the colourdy bit.
