What do you call this biscuit?

[numberonecook]

Blue ribband or a blue ribbon?

Ribbon...

But I've only realised due to this thread that it dosent actually say ribbon the little things in the life of a dyslexic

@bsc it only relates to cordon bleu if it’s called a blue ribbon which it isn’t?

Ribbund. Or ribaaaaahnd if I'm feeling posh.

Have always sounded the ‘d’ myself. Mind - took me an embarrassing number of years to realise it’s ‘Nest-lay’ not ‘Nestles’.

ribbund

Blue riband. As it says on the packet!

Blue Riband. I have to say I never, ever, noticed it was actually called that on the packaging. Always thought it was Blue Ribbon but we called it Blue RibAND because my lovely father did :)

Well, this is a good example of the Mandela Effect. I would have put good money on these being called Blue Ribbons!

Aren't ribands the things you win in competitions ? And ribbons the things you use to tie up your hair (if you are in a 1950's technicolor musical) ?

Anyway they are horrible, and made almost entirely of dust, so don't deserve to have people pronounce them properly.

Ri- bund

Never seen one before. Is it regional?

Blue ri-band!

This made me laugh. They were a disappointing lunchbox choice in my 80s childhood. My mum didn’t get any points for a Blue Ribbon/Riband/whatever.

Riband coz that’s what it says

Riband

It's a wafer and I call it ribbon

Deffo blue ribbon

Blue Riband. You know, like it's spelled.

Blue ri-BAND.

I mean it literally says it on the packet.
You don’t get confused over whether it’s a KitKat or a KidKad.
This is a peculiar thread...

@craftycorvid, back in the 80s it used to be Nestles, at least when I worked for them in Croydon it was.

Blue ribbon

A quick Google search for those intent on missing out the last letter..... 'A TV advert from 1985 reveals that the bar is pronouncedBlue'Ribbund' rather than emphasising the 'band' in the chocolate treat's name.'

There's a YouTube video of the ad.

I have always called it Riband pronounced rib and, because well that is what it is called!

Oh, and I don't class this as a biscuit as it doesn't contain biscuit- it's a wafer
