a question

mmm, custardy. My mother wanted to name me custard cream as a baby, but father wouldn't let her.No matter where I go in life, and what I do, there’s one thing that I can always count on never to change. That’s right, custard creams.

They’re always the same! No matter which supermarket you get them from or which manufacturer makes them, they’ve always got that squiggly pattern on them, and the diamond surrounding the words custard cream. It’s not a bad thing, necessarily, but I’m curious as to why this is, to my knowledge, the only universally identical biscuit.

Can any of you offer any assistance on this point? Why are the regulations for making Custard Creams so tight?

CINNAMON GRAHAMS

The new tag-line for Cinnamon Grahams is ‘the undescribable taste of toasted cinnamon squares’. Toasted… Cinnamon… Squares. I reckon that sums them up quite nicely.
