Biscuits are already the perfect size for both dunking and munching. This is unnatural. An unforgivable perversion of the original artistic intent. A cry for help.

I wish Morrisons would stop with the oversized plastic cartons. Also, just sell a pack of these biscuits. And on what planet is that price considered appropriate.

"Wtf is a paper bag" - Morrisons apparently

You have to consider the image you’re putting out there for people. You’re saying you’re the type of person who has a massive sports direct mug and think it’s hilarious.

My thought is: why do they need generic descriptive names when they are still printing the biscuit name on the biscuit itself?

Also "caramelised" is not how I would ever have described a Custard Cream and it looks to actually have dulche de leche inside, which is possibly the answer.

How giant are they? None of the images in the article give a sense of scale.

I’ll take the Bourbon, thank you very much.

I refer you to the earlier poster with the giant Sports Direct mug.

Fair comment

Dunk it? M’Lady, I’m gonna eat it raw.

Two quid for an oversized biscuit? That’s inflation for you.

Are they designed for a sports direct mug?

[–] LadyButterfly@reddthat.com 3 points 2 weeks ago

No biscuit will ever be big enough for that

[–] Aggravationstation@feddit.uk 2 points 2 weeks ago

Its 2 per pack, so £1 each.

[–] i_am_not_a_robot@feddit.uk 4 points 2 weeks ago

Two fucken quid!?

For that money I could buy considerably more product, that I would put money on tasting better, by just buying the regular biscuit sleeves.

Fuck that shit.

I'm against it. Ratios are all wrong; I'd rather have 4 small Bourbons than 1 Bourbon 4x as big.

[–] Highlandcow@feddit.uk 1 points 2 weeks ago

Oh my god I'd fucking scarf them down
