We love pink on this blog, and it's a fight to see who finds and reviews the latest pink things.
We also have a pink bedroom, which is perfect for these new, limited edition McVitie's pink digestives - they are raspberry & cream flavour from Sainsbury's
And Pink Marvel artwork to show that these are really just regular (shrunk) digestives with a pink not-chocolate coating. But that's fine too - I love pink mice, and non-chocolate chocolates.
The biscuits show up much better on the black & gold
My childhood memories of digestives have them at least 25% larger than this, but then everything has to conform to the insane portion size rules now (even though I'm allowed to eat all 15 in the pack because I'm a grown-up and no-one will ever know except you guys). The charts on the front are per biscuit so nothing flags as red, but three biscuits is 36% of my 'saturates' for the day.
They also aren't so pink as to feel unhealthy, we get the idea but will not end up with red tongues.
And the flavour balance is good. The fondant seems too thin on inspection, but if you put much more on it'd overpower the crunch and earthy tastes of the digestive. While I'm happy this is the literal flavour of the month (they even put stickers on the floor to alert you to their presence) I hope this is part of a trend and we can get mandarin ones in a lovely pale orange. Easy Halloween win there for any biscuit-makers that stumble across this.
Overall a win, but not really ideal in a heat-wave so I'll have to buy more once the sun has calmed down a bit.
