Advantages: Cheap.

Disadvantages: Too sweet and go too soggy too quick under dunking!

You can't really go wrong with digestive biscuits can you? Well so I thought until I bought Asda digestive biscuits in place of my beloved McVities ones. The McVities ones are always nice and crunchy but never hard whereas the asda ones are particularly hard and very sweet.

You can almost taste the pure sugar when you take a bite of an asda digestive and this makes them fairly unpleasant and not worth the penny pinching. I particularly like digestives for dunking although I do eat them with jam or chocolate spread too, when it comes to dunking these things go from solid to floppy, soggy mess in under two seconds. When you dip them in the tea you have to just dip and eat straight away and if you put any sugar in the tea then they will be too sweet to eat at all.

At only 38p per packet they work out about half the price of McVities but I will definitely not be changing to these anytime soon. I prefer to just pay the extra and get a biscuit I enjoy. At 2.9g of fat and 2.3g of sugar they are almost identical to the McVities brand so the only real difference is the lack of quality.

Summary: Splash the cash for McVities!!
