McVitie's Digestives

[Man_On]

Just got a packet for the first time in about 10 years, wtf?? They are the same thickness as a rich tea and dont taste of anything!

I know there are far more important things in life but still disappointing.

Cant say Ive noticed then in particular but its a general drive to reduce snack foods in content. Chocolate bars, sweets, all seem to have suffered the same fate.

 

[Boro_Boro_Boro]

Can’t eat them unless they have the chocolate on.

You might as well eat sawdust otherwise

M and S digestives are much better

While it's admirable that manufacturers are trying to reduce the portion size of stuff that isn't necessarily good for us, isn't it the case that a lot of people will just have 3 biscuits instead of 2?

Is the diameter more dunk friendly or is it just the thickness that has changed?

 

[ThatFragranceGuy]

They're not reducing portion size for your health. They will be reducing it as a cost measure rather than increasing the price (although they will do that also, but theres limits to how much people will pay, yet they can shrunk products gradually easily enough.

McVities Jaffa Cakes used to be 24 in a twin box now only 20.
It’s daylight robbery.

I love McVities digestives, mmmmmmmm

One of the few british biscuits you can buy easily in France. They don't taste like they used to though and always seem undercooked.

Its like the Toblerone Scandal all over again :LOL:

Without the chocolate don't bother.

Without chocolate, mmmmmmm

There are five cream eggs in the box this year. The whole point is you get half dozen eggs. I blame the Americans

 

[Linny]

Chocolate Hob Nobs are the best biscuit (y)

That's not the worst part. TheFair opened brackets but didn't close them. The world has gone to shíț

 

[FlapJacks]

The big companies also make lots of different sizes of the same thing to muddy the waters ... fun sized, bite sized, mini, normal, extra big, duo ....

Chunky Kit-Kats are a disgrace.

It's a giant conspiracy by the lizard people to take over the world.

Definitely not the Americans, it's was the EU when they wanted the UK to have 10 eggs to the metric dozen therefore 5 is half a dozen according to the Maastricht Treaty:D
