for jammy and toffee dodgers?

The little biscuit monkeys give me the creeps, and I am not tempted to buy the biscuits at all.

Does anyone like them - the monkeys that is, I know there are people who love jammy dodgers lol.

The toffee monkey looks like my ex BIL.

For that reason alone I don't eat them.

I'll not buy them now out of sheer bloody-mindedness over the awfulness of this advert.

I wonder who thought they'd be a good marketing idea because it's put me off buying them.

Hate the Birds Eye Polar bear - especially the new advert which results in Kevin getting the sack - I find it menacing and unpleasant

Hate the Birds Eye Polar bear-so creepy.

Both the toffee monkey and the toffee dodgers are awful.Saw a display of chocolate dodgers in Tesco but didn't even contemplate buying them - the toffee dodgers have put me right off alternative dodger buying.

They creep me out too
and that polar bear < shudder >
If that wifie was to write here about her relationship with that sinister controlling bear we'd be telling her to grab the kids and leave him asap
