To think that garibaldi are the worst biscuits?

Greasy weird horrible things. Useless dunked in a hot beverage.
Nothing worse.

I’ve heard strange people claim other biscuits are worse, but they’re generally a bit strange and untrustworthy.
AIBU?

Fruit club used to be so nice but now the chocolate is greasy AF

Haven't had a squashed-fly biscuit for years, but now I really want some. Absolutely blooming love them.

I can't believe the cussy cream hate on this thread - can't believe it, I tell you. I love a cuusy cream. Although I am firmly in the 'there is not such thing as a bad biscuit' camp, ginger nuts and nice biscuits would always be last choice for me in the hypothetical biscuit tin of life.

Kimberley biscuits. Irish MN-ers will know.

Hideous, stale biscuit with rubbery marshmallow. Those, along with garibaldis & viscounts, were always what my dad brought back when he was sent to the shop because we had nothing in for guests to have with their tea.

Me and my sister were gutted every time. No toffee pops or Jammy dodgers? What’s wrong with you, man?! Grin

AdaColeman At one time you could get them half coated in dark chocolate

Mmm, I remember them from when I was young. Delicious

Ok, catching up on this thread has made me realise something.
I was being unreasonable about garibaldi biscuits.

Wagon wheels, lemon puffs and jam mallows are worse.

The question is, are wagon wheels actually a biscuit or just individually wrapped circles of Dante’s hell?

Ooooh fig rolls and garibaldis are awesome. I'll eat all those you don't want.

Sitranced · 06/12/2018 07:54

Oreos are the worst. They're like dog biscuits.

Weeping and gnashing my teeth now because DD2 was in London recently and now I realise what I should have asked her to bring back, though they would all have got mashed into a blob in her suitcase and when it comes to biscuits it isn't the thought that counts.

Love Nice, lemon puffs and garibaldis, and also lincoln, the best biscuit ever for dunking no matter what anyone says about dry shortbread.

And Shock that anyone wouldn't love Kimberlys!!!! Send them over this way please.

I will just have to send DD back. She can leave the ginger nuts on the shelf as I have two bags of them on top of the fridge.

Oreos are vile. So glad someone agrees with me. But what is so bad about lemon puffs? They're ok, not great, but ok. Surprised so many people hate them.

AdaColeman · 06/12/2018 10:08

Oreos are awful, dry and gritty and tasteless, I couldn’t believe what all the fuss was about over such nasty creations.

ChardonnaysPrettySister · 06/12/2018 10:21

Never understood the popularity of Oreos.

Can’t pay me to eat the bastarding things.

Rachel0909 · 06/12/2018 12:26

@SandyDrawsBadly according to the votable list Mumsnet posted a month ago, most MNs would agree with you!

AlliKaneErikson · 07/12/2018 00:08

So those jam mallow biscuit things were actually SUPPOSED to taste like that? I always used to assume ours were ‘off’ or out of date. Agree with the Oreo comments. Pointless things.

seventhgonickname · 07/12/2018 00:13

Don't understand digestives with chocolate chips.You can't dunk them,the chocolate cleaves to the biscuit so you can't taste it.What was wrong with chocolate covered digestives?Though the chocolate on those us palm oil slick now.

showmeshoyu · 07/12/2018 00:16

Garibaldi are like a thousand rats shitting onto a towel. Fig biscuits are delicious though. Oreos just taste of sod all, despite looking nice.

GhettoFabulous · 07/12/2018 17:19

Gypsy Creams are the best but I don't think you can get them anymore.

ZaZathecat · 07/12/2018 17:25

YABVU, I could eat the whole pack, love 'em!

Custard creams are MUCH worse. Bleurgh.
