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!

They are called Thins. You bought them and then complained that they were thin. Have you recently received a blow to the head?

Who the hell buys a product then complains about something that was specified in the fucking name?!

Bearbehind · 19/07/2018 19:58

Because they are pointless.

There's a tiny layer of chocolate and even less biscuit.

It's not the fact they are thin that's the problem, it's the fact the proportions are all wrong.

They just go instantly soggy

@CoughLaughFart Jesus. The OP is clearly not complaining about them simply being thin. No need to be so arsey.

CoughLaughFart · 19/07/2018 20:05

But the clue was in the name. I couldn’t get ‘arsey’ about the mere existence of a product I don’t personally like. It’s the easiest issue in the world to tackle.

I love them. Sorry. Grin

Off point but may I recommend mcvities double chocolate digestives to you all..... heaven!

I wasn't impressed by these, tried one and didn't even finish that one! Texture is just all wrong

I love the double chocolate nibbles though, great texture and flavour, far too dangerous to have in the house though because I can virtually inhale a bag, and I'm not that much of a sweet food or biscuits type of person, I enjoy them every now and then but these I could eat the whole bag on a regular basis!

SadieHH · 19/07/2018 20:44

I love them. However I can inhale a whole packet in approx 17.4 seconds. They take less chewing than the normals. Oreos can fuck right off though in whatever format.

agedknees · 19/07/2018 20:53

Completely agree with you op. A choccie biscuit shouldn’t be thin, it’s outrageous.

I’m not offended - I just thought the thread was shit Smile

9amTrain · 19/07/2018 21:03

And yet you keep returning to it...

Bearbehind · 19/07/2018 21:04

Well aren't you just a barrel of laughs cough

Jog on if you don't like it

Because the likes of you keep makin comments about me on it! Put a cork in it if you’re that bothered!

Bearbehind · 19/07/2018 21:09

Jeezo, some people can pick a fight in a padded cell?

It's a lighthearted thread about biscuits 🍪

Get over yourself.

Dogstar78 · 19/07/2018 21:13

Ba ha ha! So true. I saw a programme that per gram, things have more sugar, fat and calories. So just a marketing ploy. If you are going to eat a biscuit. Eat a decent one.

Dogstar78 · 19/07/2018 21:14

Thins even..

CanIhavedessertfirst · 19/07/2018 21:14

YANBU mostly, but the new filled digestive thins and thin coconut Oreos are an exception to the rule

Groovee · 19/07/2018 21:15

The hobnob ones tasted more like digestives. A waste of a biscuit

No one forced you to post the thread. I didn’t realise we needed permission to respond.

YABU to bin anything chocolate-related.

BeautyBox · 19/07/2018 21:16

How DARE you, OP!
