A line has been crossed when NICEs are sold unsugared!

Re: NICE biscuit outrage!

I know I should get out more, but I feel I must share my disgust following my latest foray into the world of biscuits.

I was in Morrisons the other day and couldn't resist a bumper pack of Crawford's Teatime biscuits. 85 biscuits and 8 varieties said the box and they were dirt cheap. I did not expect much, but I DID expect the NICE biscuits to vaguely resemble the much-loved biccy of old.

Instead the NICE print could hardly be seen, the fluted edge was badly fashioned and worst of all, IT WAS NOT COVERED IN SUGAR! I know times are tough but this is ridiculous!

Observe the offending biccy below.

i see what you mean regarding no sugar on them.
they always had a sparkly sugary look.

maybe the fact they where dirt cheap is why they had no sugar on them although thats no excuse.

I'd write a strongly worded letter of complaint if I was you!

Re: Biscuits

Any year on this? Looks very early 70's, maybe even 60's.
Not one I recall

Not an exact year but I did find one bloke who remembers buying it from vending machines in the 'late 60's/ early 70's'

While you are there click the 'Chocolate' section at the top some good chocolate wrappers there.

Re: Biscuits

Yes that's the wrappers! I don't remember the first wrapper, must have been an earlier one, but the other 2 were the ones I was thinking of. Thanks huggie

Re: Biscuits

Oh loved Sports biscuits - did they not come in a plain yellow wrapper at some point? United's were yummy too - also remember the foil wrapper, but did united's not come in a plain non-foiled wrapper too, possibly earlier version? Or have I just dreamed that lol?

Re: Biscuits

Loved a Trio too - that reminded me of how annoying that advert was lol.

Re: Biscuits

The orange united wrapper is from 1984, there's also a blue one on this thread (page 2). I also remember the blue paper (not foil wrappers)

Re: Biscuits

Yeah I definately remember the Sports bar being a yellow wapper - possibly had a sports ball on different bars in the multi-packs, do remember the baseball and a football I think.
