KitKats,Club Biscuits, And Penguin Bars

[Dave Ewing's Back 'eader]

McVities have their chocolate digestives. We bought a packet of the 'white chocolate' version. The choccy covering was almost transsparent.

Wait until you hear what they've been doing to honey over the years.

Iv been buying it at foreign supplied shops and International markets for a while because ours has become tasteless due to the manufacturing process.

Same with all our foods in the commercial west.

Cocoa is good for you.

Those Aussie TimTams have a good bit of chocolate on em.

Seen them last week and thought I'd try em. They're basically bourbons treble coated in Chocolate. Most enjoyable. I'll be back for more this week.

 

[The Lightbowne Cowboy]

Cocoa is good for you.

It must be because most of my mates were sniffing it on Saturday night.

Different (cheaper) VAT rate for them if classed as a biscuit. There was a case many years ago regarding jaffa cakes on this

There is VAT on chocolate bars
There is VAT on chocolate coated or chocolate flavouring coating on a biscuit. Think chocolate digestives etc
There is no VAT on plain biscuits or chocolate chip cookies

When it comes to packs/tins of assorted biscuits, VAT depends on the percentage of chocolate coated biscuits within the pack

My grandad didn't fight in 2 world wars for this!

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, as you say the chocolate was thin on it what makes matters worse is that there isn't any real chocolate if any on them anyway.

Flour (39%) (Wheat Flour, Calcium, Iron, Niacin, Thiamin), White Chocolate Flavour Coating (30%) [Sugar, Vegetable Oils (Palm, Shea, Sal), Dried Skimmed Milk, Dried Whole Milk, Emulsifier (Soya Lecithin), Natural Vanilla Flavouring], Palm Oil, Wholemeal Wheat Flour (9%), Sugar, Glucose-Fructose Syrup, Raising Agents (Sodium Bicarbonate, Malic Acid, Ammonium Bicarbonate), Salt

What are they identifying as then?

An apple?

Seedless grapes?

You see, you let the woke generation in and it's game over.

 

[Tuearts right boot]

Cant beat a good chocolate substitute

 

[JULES]

I used to meticulously break the chocolate away from the club biscuit when i was a lad and eat it seperately. Guess you can no longer do that.

I'd bite round the edges, me! Eat the biscuity stuff last!

 

[City Hobgoblin]

The other thing is, of course, that every British chocolate bar you can name is now much smaller than it was 20 years ago.

 

[Debaser]

Aussie Dairy Milk has a higher chocolate content also.

Fuck Aussie dairy milk, it's all about New Zealands Whittakers chocolate.

what else would kitkats, clubs, penguins be classified as?

 

[BerkshireBlue]

Those Aussie TimTams have a good bit of chocolate on em.

they're in a similar boat. They use the word "Chocolatey" not chocolate to describe their coating. This is just hoodwicking you into thinking it's chocolate when it's not

yeah this is scandalous and I'm not sure how they've got away with it
