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

Biscuits available in the School tuck shop? Red and Blue metallic wrapper?

Wouldnt be Elevensies would it?

Just a vague memory from first school.

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.

A line has been crossed when NICEs are sold unsugared!

Re: Biscuits

I used to love YoYo's. I had put them to the back of my mind until I saw this pic. The mint ones were my favorite.

the toffe ones where ok but more than 2 and i started feeling sick.

That biscuit almost needs to go by another name. It's not nice. I loved NICE biscuits but dunkability was very poor.
Wish we could have Royal Scot biscuits back too.

I know what you mean. Yoyo's were a staple of my childhood but I had generally forgotten about them. I liked the mint and toffee equally. I wonder why such an iconic biccy has proved so forgettable?

Re: Biscuits

Hi
This is my firstpost on this forum,since finding this forum i have remembered so many things from my childhood that i hadnt thought of for years so many good memories from 70s and very early 80s,golden times no worries just fun any way to my question.does any one remember?some biscuits which were wrapped in blue or red foil covered in chocolate with a crumbly middle?think they did plain or milk.

Elevenses?

Re: Biscuits

you could keep them in for a long time as well.

Re: Biscuits

Last week Asda were selling jammie Wagon Wheels for £1. I haven't had a wagon wheel for quite a few years now (they'd gotten a lot smaller and didn't taste quite the same so I hadn't bought any for a while).............these were bloomin' lovely
