What do you call this biscuit?

[numberonecook]

Blue ribband or a blue ribbon?

Blue Riband because that's what it says. I always thought it was a stupid name.

Blue Riband..... errr........ it’s on the packet.

I call it a wafer biscuit

It's the Mandela effect

I don't think people are misremembering. I think people who incorrectly call it Blue Ribbon have always incorrectly called it Blue Ribbon. They're probably the same people who say 'expresso', 'mischeev-i-ous' and 'should of'.

Ribbon

I honestly always thought they were called Blue Ribbons. Don’t think I ever looked at the packaging properly

Disappointment.

Is that the caramel wafer? Makes a cuppa go down a treat!

Sorry, that was Grey Dunn

According to Debrett's it's Blue Riband.

Itsgoing It was just a fun comment...but I certainly have the memory of it being 'Ribbon' as do my siblings. Clearly our memories don't serve us well lol.

Ick-ea I don't like, but I get.

Blue ribbon, how is that an option?

We call it Blue Riband, but pronounce the riband "rye-band".

They're probably the same people who say 'expresso', 'mischeev-i-ous' and 'should of'.
Don’t be so ridiculous.

Blue riband. More importantly though why can you still get these pointless dusty bars but not the awesome 54321?

You are not alone but I think it WAS called Nestles (no accent) in the past, for instance the milky bar kid song went "nestle's milky bar". I think it was always

Nestlé with the accent on the continent, isn't it a Swiss company? Eventually we were clearly deemed sophisticated enough to cope with it spelt and pronounced properly!

Ribband of course.

Blue wafers, as in 'do you want blue or pink wafers'.

I say Blue riband. My dh says blue ribbon. Either way I don’t like them so don’t buy them or eat them if offered one.

It is definitely Blue Ribbund. I can't believe how many people have been saying ribbon all their life, despite the words on the packaging being entirely clear. There a d on the end, people!

Nothing beats a Tunnock Caramel Wafer. Nothing.

These Ribands are ... awful

Click on the little speaker next to the pronunciation text near the top! Listen to the voice pronouncing it!

I call them 'ugh' horrible papery flaky things that leave me with a dry mouth and chocolate craving completely unsatisfied!

The Nestles things changes in around 1988 when they were having trouble and someone on the news said Nest Lays ... I was temping there at the time and it was all anyone could talk about

What is a riband anyway?

Surely if it was ribbon there would be a picture of a blur ribbon on the packet?? Now someone will come along saying we'll there isn't a picture of a double decker on a double decker is there?!!! Misses the point totally... I'll get my coat...
