This is an unpopular choice but Jaffa Cakes - so overrated. Stale sponge with fake-tasting dark chocolate and a glue-dot consolation of 'orange'. And you can't dip them in your tea cos they disintegrate.

Milk chocolate Malted Milks are the reason I put on 3 stone when I was unemployed a few years ago.

Not a biscuit. Sorry to be a Nigel but there was a court case several years ago (as it has a bearing on VAT being added to an item I think) and Jaffa Cakes were deemed to be a cake and not a biscuit.

I also think it was concluded that Pringles contain an insufficient amount of potato to be classed as a crisp.

You c***. Fig rolls? somebody likes them - they're bang up there. Wagon Wheels are biscuits aren't they? So they could do with a vote or too, and on the subject of Marshmallow what about those ones with dessicated coconut showered onto marshmallow, or are they biscuits, and don't you get different coloured ones or am I only dreaming. Not mad on Gypsy creams either but am more than partial to a lemon puff or three washed down with a strong cup of PG or the like. I'd say gingernuts are the marmite of biscuits, could be an entire new thread that one.

Oi! It wasn't my court case. Although I'd say Jaffa Cakes were a cake. My argument that it says 'cake' in the name might not wash though as you've mentioned Wagon Wheels and they aren't actually wheels.

Gingers. They absolutely pollute the biscuit tin, making everything taste and stink of them.

Strangely, I find a Rich Tea finger far more palatable than a normal Rich Tea.

Ginger biscuit. Reminds me of my time at boarding school playing the game.

Custard creams every time - once did an audit at a biscuit factory and saw them being made.... what's in the centre is animal fat and sugar

Garibaldis come a very close second - always known as 'dead fly' biscuits when I was a kid.
