Advantages: Taste Great

Disadvantages: Cost Doesnt Justify Them, Always Seem To Be In Pieces, Not Healthy

I bought a packet of these today and happily munched through the packet, They're very tasty and easy to consume.

Prices seem to vary, I've seen them as low as 79p in supermarkets to £1.99 in overly prices motorway service stations. Today mine cost £1.15 at the Esso petrol station around the corner from where I live.

They come in three different flavours from what I've seen: milk chocolate, White chocolate and raspberry and White chocolate. The packet is split into two sections with six of each in either side. 

The benefits are the taste. McVities seem to market these as a more upper class type of biscuit in comparason to their others. It seems to do the trick as they taste gorgeous and are made carefully as they are shaped perfectly and are nearly perfectly spherical in shape.

Sadly there's a few criticisms. Firstly they are very delicate and a lot of retailer don't seem to realise this. Aside from today nearly everytime I've bought them they are in pieces and when opened look like they've been kicked around the factory before BEng sent out to the shops, while this isn't the fault of McVities it's something to be aware of as a lot of retailers don't seem to take appropriate care of them.

Secondly I don't think you get the best value for money. Yes they are marketed as a higher class of buscuit 12 biscuits for that price really should be a lot cheaper as the brand doesn't justify it in my opinion.

Finally although they are tasty they aren't the healthiest. You can Munch through these pretty quickly you can find yourself putting a lot of calories on yourself easily.

Overall they taste great but there's a few things that could make these so much better.  

Summary: Good, But Has The Potential To Be A Lot Better
