McVities Penguin Reviews

McVitie's Penguin bars are something I have enjoyed since I was a kid. It was always a treat when mum bought a pack of them for us, but whenever we went round my grandparents' house, there was a constant supply of them. They are essentially small choc bars, about 3 inches long, and about half an inch thick. They consist of two thin ...  Read the complete review

Haven't had a penguin bar since I was about 10 years old, but on a recent shopping trip to morrisons, they were on special offer at 9 for 60p so I thought I would give them a try. They really havent changed in years and are still as delicious as ever. They are basically a glorified boourbon cream with a soft creamy centre, surrounded by bourbon ...  Read the complete review

McVities Penguin............ McVitites Penguin bars are a well known favourite of the nation. This I assume only because they have been going for such a long time that people must be buying them for the company to keep making them. They are not the sort of thing that I would buy to eat at home but often, as is today, I will eat ...  Read the complete review

The Penguin bar is one of many products on Dooyoo I've reviewed as of late that just gives me a pang of nostalgia - these bars were a frequent staple of my childhood, and I fondly remember opening my lunchbox many a time and finding these delights inside.

DAmn those end aisles in shops. They tend to draw your attention to something that you probably wouldn't go out of your way to get, and they make you feel like the very thing is the thing you have been craving - then again if you were really wanting it in the first place, you would have went up the normal aisle and got it!

I think everyone recognises the slogan "P...P...P...Pick up a...Peguin!" They've had a lot of advertising to promote these in the past, and I still see the less frequent adverts recently in magazines.
