Well they didn't turn up, had a couple of key players suspended, and the less said about the penalties the better!Spencer4 wrote:...but it put out the plain choc digestives in the semi!

BISCUIT WORLD CUP FINAL RESULT
Hobnobs 11-10 Scottish Shortbread
(Shortbread only made the final after a mind-numbing penalty shoot-out against McVities Homewheat Plain Choc)
And now they want a Crisp World Cup...! (things aren't going too well on the field at Leek Town this season, so this comes as a welcome distraction)

By the way, just had a look back through this World Cup, and yer old da's suspicions have been confirmed as at no point is this biscuit included.
There is one biscuit that is unrivalled, that is everyone's favourite, and would undoubtedly have won the trophy had all you geezers down south tried it. I could pretty much guarantee that my fellow Scots would agree with me on this. The winner of the Biscuit World Cup would've been a one-horse race had this little rascal been considered.
Step forward..............
..........the Tunnock's Caramel Wafer.

I agree that the only failing of TCW's is the fake chocolate coating, but they are still special. If they were covered in Cadbury's I imagine it would improve them of course, but would it change their appeal?Flyman wrote:I rate Tunnock's Caramel Wafer highly, YODa. Very highly indeed.
But when push comes to shove, the chocolate flavoured covering lets them down, imo.
Now, if they were covered with Cadbury's ......

I know what you mean, Da, they are one of the few companies who still carry that 'family business' feel. And I like the fact that they've resisted the urge to re-package the product. To the best of my knowledge they still look the same on the shelves as they did 40 years ago.Yer Old Da wrote:I agree that the only failing of TCW's is the fake chocolate coating, but they are still special.

I think they could definitely get to the latter stages of the World Cup, if everyone on here had tried them and given them time.Flyman wrote:I know what you mean, Da, they are one of the few companies who still carry that 'family business' feel.

Yeah, packaging is definitely the same, and where I'm from you almost certainly know someone who works or used to work in the Tunnock's factory in Uddingston. (there, I've narrowed down your search area )
