Biscuits you don't see now.

[Karen1960]

Oh my goodness, you have just reminded me of Playbox biscuits .. a real blast from the past!!! https://www.flickr.com/photos/daviddb/6772202363. Also, what happened to Abbey Crunch? They were my favourite!

And Royal Scot were great as well ...

Re: Biscuits you don't see now.

When was the last time you encountered any brand of biscuit that contained animal fat?

I'm sure I saw those biscuits at Cost-Cutter some time recently.

Re: Biscuits you don't see now.

My favourites were Romany biscuits by Huntley & Palmer (not to be confused with Romany Creams which are by a diffent company). They were around in the mid-late 80s then disappeared. Utterly gorgeous. The closest you can get to them now is either Choc Cream Oreos or Fox's Choc Fudge Creams, but neither are exactly like them. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XZSHdQdfOB4

Different to these then?





(from this thread)

It may have been the same biscuit, but the wrappers were very different. Did they change the wrappers in the 90's at all?

Re: Biscuits you don't see now.

I remember 'Sport' biscuits (Not the Fox's 'Sports'), but I can't remember who made them. They were in a yellow wrapper with SPORT in blue writing. Each wrapper in the pack used to have a different ball on: a rugby ball, a football, a cricket ball etc. The biscuit was basically digestive covered in chocolate, with a criss-cross pattern on the top.

I also remember Romany Creams (By Fox's I think). They were gorgeous and abundant in the early to mid-nineties, but seemed to disappear overnight.

Re: Biscuits you don't see now.

I loved Lincoln biscuits dunked in tea, they had little "pimples" on the top.

Playbox biscuits, they had coloured pictures on them made of hard icing just like Fox's Party Rings are now. Cafe Iced were similar with 3 stripes of that same icing in pink, yellow and brown. There was also another one with plain brown icing on but can't remember the name.

I remember having those when I was young not seen them for about 30 years.
