Oh come on, pink wafers and jammy Dodgers were always first to go in the Christmas biccie tins! And cookies don't exist, except in America.

I have to admit that, whenever i buy an assortment, I will eat the dodgy ones first to save the best till last.
Wine gums a case in point. Orange & yellow first to go. Black & red will always be left to last.

I'm with Steve, except for never ever willingly eating a pink wafer.
I have about 200 jaffa cakes in my classroom cupboard, donated by parents.

The new Sisters biography informs in a footnote that
and Gary were fans of fruit shortcake, the greatest biscuit of them all. Now the next question is, of course, do they dunk?!!!

Fruit shortcake is just one step away from Garibaldi. This could be either a good thing or a bad thing.

It's quite interesting, you know, the number of biscuits that are named after revolutionaries. You've got your Garibaldi, of course, you've got your Bourbons, then of course you've got your Peek Freens Trotsky Assortment. [sings] "Revolutionary biscuits of Italy / Rise up out of your box! / You have nothing to lose but your wafers / Yum yum yum yum yum!"
