Background Launched in 1948 in a olympia food fayre, wagon wheels where created by Gary Weston, and were originally "weston wagon wheels" as at that time the wild west was very popular. Size I remember these as a child as being a family favourite and I know we often say that various of our childhood food stuff has shrunk, but these truly have... They are 14mm smaller than the Australian version, although ours are 4mm thicker. Price You can spend more, but I always wait for these to ...more

"They're kinda big and kinda round with real milk chocolate and biscuit to be found. under that chocolatey stuff. And they're really squidgy yeah really squodgy you'll be sorry if you don't get enough, you got to eat one bit at a time, but they're so big nobody would mind, if theres a bigger bite it cant be found". Damn, I am getting old. My kids have no idea what I am singing about (and those of you reading this who don't are too young too!). Burton's Wagon Wheels must be older than I am, I certainly cannot remember a time when they were not on a shops shelves. That makes them at least 29! Anyhow, before I get even more bogged down in rambling ...  Read the complete review

OK I'm a big boy now and can, if provoked, do a 6 pack at one sitting. HOWEVER when I was a lad they came in open yellow bags and i swear they were bigger. Its not a sin to have reduced the size but i would love to have it confirmed. ( the chocolate was thicker in 1967 as well ) Why don't Burtons do do a special... a 6" 4 pack, no matter what the price they would sell I'm sure ...  Read the complete review

I really don't understand how so many people rave about Wagon Wheels. My Dad loves these, and used to try and make me eat them when I was younger, and he couldn't understand how I turned them down. In my entire adult life of living in my own house (about 7 years) I have never once purchased these and stand by the fact they they aren't very nice. A pack of Wagon Wheels consists of 6 individual biscuits and costs about £1.39 according to Sainsburys website. It also says that there are 5.4g of fat per biscuit. A Wagon Wheel is about the size of the bottom of a mug, I would estimate about a 10cm diameter. They consist of biscuit with a marshmallow ...  Read the complete review

Ok, this is a review about Wagon Wheels, so let's just clear up one burning issue before we get going. Wagon Wheels have not shrunk. You have grown. "Fact" Oh, and while I'm at it, you know those cows you see in the distance as you drive through the country? They're not really tiny, they are just far away! Anyhoo.... I really enjoy a Wagon Wheel every now and then. Two substantial digestive style biscuits, glued together with marshmallow and then covered in chocolate. However.... In my opinion, they could do with a second coat of chocolate. If you ...  Read the complete review

I don't know what all the fuss is about Wagon Wheels, they're majorly boring and I used to hate it when I opened my packed lunch at school and saw my mum had put a Wagon Wheel in instead of the usual yummy biscuits she would buy. They are a dead simple idea, you get 2 biscuits that have got marshmallow in the middle and then they are covered in the cheapest chocolate Burtons could find! lol They have always tasted proper cheap actually but when I had one yesterday after not even knowing they still existed I realised they are possibly the cheapest biscuits going.... and the stupid thing is that they're not even all that cheap to buy!!! You get 6 ...  Read the complete review
