    McVitie’s Digestives.

    With feeling off-colour recently I’ve been nauseous and only eating random things I could stomach.

    For the first time in 20 odd years I asked the wife to buy a pack of these, I used to eat them in huge numbers in my t e e n s and into my 30’s.

    They are now half the size and thickness they used to be, what an absolute rip off.

    Same with Rich Tea biscuits.

    When I was a kid I’d put a pair of either biscuit back to back and dunk into a tea or coffee and it’d drain half the mug due to the size and density of each biccy.

    It was then like eating a slice of hot cake, I loved it.

    But these are now sad and pathetic, this drive towards cutting costs by reducing size just ruins products.

    Very sad and annoying.

    Don’t get me started on Mars Bars.

    Marianne wouldn’t appreciate the reduction in the size of Mars bars, either!

    So what's your favourite biscuit then gents - I'm partial to fruit shortcake, very more-ish and chocolate hobnobs are the daddy.

    That's just what I used to do. I think I managed 8 rich tea in one go.

    How uncanny mate, I used to do exactly the same.

    The magic number was 4 Rich Tea or McVities Digestives dunked together in one go.

    They would drain half the mug of coffee or tea and then give you a huge hot slab of fat biscuit to eat.

    Sometimes it’d break off though and land on your shoes or fall back in the mug and need eating with a spoon.

    I think I managed 8 in one go in my dad’s pint sized mug.

    Those biscuits were so wide and so fat in those days as well.

    Chocolate covered (one side) Rich Tea. Not seen one for about 5 years.
