Favourite biccies are occasionally discussed on here but there must be some that a lot of folk don't particularly care for, or are taste-divisive. Mine are:

Digestives. Too dry and bland.
Rich Tea. Not much better than Digestives.
Jammy Dodgers. Never liked them - too soft and over-sweet.
Garibaldi. Chewy dead flies.
Custard Cream. Never got the appeal.
Oreos. As per Custard Cream but much worse. They remind me of dog biscuits.

I am prepared to be denounced as a heretic but so be it BiscuitBiscuitBiscuit.

Wagon wheels 🤮

I took a bite of a rich tea biscuit some thirty odd years ago and still remember the wretched taste.

Cookit · 12/09/2019 19:58

Digestives with chocolate on them. Don’t know why, since I love chocolate, much it makes a good biscuit inedible.

Always used to hate penguin biscuits too.

Custard creams smell of vomit.
Oreos/bourbons smell of cheap chocolate.

HairyChinChin · 12/09/2019 19:59

Garabaldis and fig rolls. What's the point?

SpeckledyHen · 12/09/2019 19:59

Fig rolls . Taste stale and soggy.

Custard creams,even the thought of them makes me feel sick. A few years ago people were raving on about a custard cream spread in a jar on Facebook,I nearly deactivated my account Angry

Hobnobs- too dry and

formerbabe · 12/09/2019 20:03

Really dislike bourbons...taste nothing like chocolate to me.

DrWAnker · 12/09/2019 20:03

Agree with Garibaldi.
Can live without custard creams.
But bourbons and fig rolls are the king and queen of biscuits. BrewBiscuit

IHaveBrilloHair · 12/09/2019 20:03

I don't really like any biscuits.

fortifiedwithtea · 12/09/2019 20:05

Foxes Crunchy something or other. Cant explain why I don’t like them.

Nice are not nice.

Wagon wheels
Garibaldi
Fig rolls
Custard creams
Pink wafers

Gormless · 12/09/2019 20:06

Those pink wafer things. Taste like scented paper.

Party rings.

EmmiJay · 12/09/2019 20:07

Rich tea, bourbons, Viennese swirls, and any wafers. Filth. All of them.

ILikeyourHairyHands · 12/09/2019 20:07

Shortbread. Claggy.

I'm rather partial to all the others listed in you OP though.

SecretNutellaFix · 12/09/2019 20:07

Fig rolls- revolting and sludgy
Oreos- I'd rather eat a pencil
Nice- coconut. Actually, any biscuit with coconut in it.
Jammy dodgers/ anything shortbread based. I just cannot do shortbread based biscuits due to traumatic school dinner memories.

golddustwomen · 12/09/2019 20:08

Plain digestives and rich tea 🤮 I mean what's the bloody point in them?

However to all the pps saying shortbread... what the fuck guys ?! I wish I hated them.. I can't open a pack without eating the lot, also can't walk into a Poundland without buying them.

RavenLG · 12/09/2019 20:11

Hobnobs, too bitty and dry and even chocolate can't salvage them. Plus they get stuck in your teeth. Devil biccies.

On a biccie related note we picked up some rhubarb gin and white chocolate cookies from Asda and they are my new obsession!

vampirethriller · 12/09/2019 20:12

Bourbons
Twix
Penguins
Anything oaty
Oreos

ExpletiveDelighted · 12/09/2019 20:13

There are very few I do like. Of those mentioned the only ones I would buy for myself are pink wafers and shortbreads.

The worst by far are custard creams, nice and ginger biscuits, which can contaminate an entire biscuit barrel with their foulness.
