McVitie's have been on a roll releasing new flavours of classics recently. We have reviewed A LOT of them. This one was abandoned on the counter in my local corner shop as they are a little out of date.
I suspect that my neighbours were not convinced that Marmalade on Toast flavour should be an option for biscuits.
A few years back 'breakfast biscuits' were a big thing pushed by snack brands as a way to sell rusks to grown ups. It seemed to work for a short time but you don't really see them as much now. I think people missed the cereal bowl.
No artificial colours or flavours - but the ingredients disagree...
Natural Orange Flavouring, Natural Flavouring. No toast - no marmalade - all trickery and PR language. Just the same biscuits with a new taste.
And slim, slim chocolate to make us feel bad about our choices.
But - yes - these do taste of Marmalade - not orange, but actual marmalade (very Robinsons), the toast I get a lot less.
And they are nice biscuits, but the kind that leave you wanting more - and not in a satisfying way. I'd rather have some actual marmalade on toast, or a piece of good shortbread.
