To wonder which idiot came up with the idea of McVities Chocolate Digestive Thins?

They are rank!

Chocolate to biscuit ratio is all out of whack.

They taste like they've got off as there's not enough crunch.

Ate one- put the rest in the bin!

All the thins versions are the same, I don't know of anyone who says i think we need to make these lovely biscuits thinner.

Sniv · 19/07/2018 19:15

Perhaps my old flatmate? She used to regularly lick the chocolate off chocolate digestives and feed the remaining damp, licked biscuit to her dog.

IamXXHearMeRoar · 19/07/2018 19:18

Probably some vegan who always hated biscuits and wants to punish us. Likely the same one who ruined mars bars.

IamXXHearMeRoar · 19/07/2018 19:18

And no I am not being veganist just can't believe the person who made those ever ate one.

falconrising · 19/07/2018 19:20

They're fantastic! Perfect for making smores for kids as the biscuit isn't too big and thick

Knittedfairies · 19/07/2018 19:21

Not too bad if you eat three stacked together.

Could it be Jamie Oliver? Grin He's on a crusade to ruin everything. Is it also his fault Ribena tastes horrible now?

9amTrain · 19/07/2018 19:23

I know! Who asked for less?!

TaraCave · 19/07/2018 19:23

Why what happened to mars bars??????

9amTrain · 19/07/2018 19:24

Next they'll be selling pizzas cut in half and other shit that I certainly don't want or need.

JamPasty · 19/07/2018 19:24

Oooh, you heathens, they're fab! Pass them over here!

bellabasset · 19/07/2018 19:24

The thins are disappointing.

I love both chocolate digestive and Bahlsen Leibniz.

SerenDippitty · 19/07/2018 19:25

Just different ways of selling us the same thing. Can’t see the point of the Nibbles either.

IamXXHearMeRoar · 19/07/2018 19:25

Mars bars = palm oil/shrinkage wrongness on every level

Icouldbehappy · 19/07/2018 19:25

I think there great tbh!
Am not currently bothering my fat arse about my diet, as I’m on holiday. But when I’m on track, I like the psychological effect of having two for the price of one.
Or just one, if I’m being really strict.

they’re
Not there!!!
Am lying out on my swing, sipping wine Wink

Icouldbehappy · 19/07/2018 19:28

What are Nibbles???

I like Chedds. Nice little pieces of cheese that take longer to eat and again, that psychologically effect of eating more.

Fluffybat · 19/07/2018 19:30

😂😂😂😂

Notlostjustexploring · 19/07/2018 19:32

But what is the point of them? You can't dunk them, and eating a thin gives the same satisfaction as sniffing a proper chocolate biscuit.

AlmostPerfect1955 · 19/07/2018 19:34

Grim, and they stick to your teeth. If you need a biscuit have a proper one!

EnglishGirlApproximately · 19/07/2018 19:35

SerenDippitty, I’ve discovered the point of nibbles - to go on top of chocolate cakes as decorations when baking with children. Thins on the other hand, utterly pointless

PinkBuffalo · 19/07/2018 19:40

I don't like any of the "thins" biscuits really.
The only ones that were quite nice were the Maryland cookie ones.
Agree the mcvities ones are awful, and so are the Oreo ones.

itsallgravybaby · 19/07/2018 19:41

The nibbles are great. Can pour them all into your mouth and finish a share size bag in about 45 seconds GrinGrin

UneMoonit · 19/07/2018 19:42

YANBU.

Whoever thought of this is, and I don't use the word lightly, a pervert.

Could it be Jamie Oliver?He's on a crusade to ruin everything. Is it also his fault Ribena tastes horrible now

Leave Jamie alone, he only wants to be "sterner" to the poor for their own good.

You don't understand how frustrating it can be for a plucky tv millionaire that the lower orders can go around just enjoying pizza and coca cola whenever they like, instead of knocking up a naice locally sourced partridge nipple and basil salad like proper people do.

CandEB · 19/07/2018 19:46

I really like the thins.. Also really like the nibbles especially the white ones. Maybe I should just go hide in a corner..😆
