Best: Malt-o-Milk, McVities chocolate digestives
Worst: A Granita A (lets face it, they’re either for rationing during wartime or probably for cooking)
Underrated: Malt-o-Milk
Overrated: Oreos (they’re ok but dunking them in milk doesn’t improve them and shows that marketing them with something deemed healthy from probably the 70’s onwards brainwashes masses; mainly that seppo marketing crap goes a long way towards overrating also. See Krispy Kreme)

Premium chocolate chip.
Like the arnotts ones but others go alright too.

The one thing that’s good about Oreos is if you’ve got a kid with a dairy allergy, which I did.

Oh ■■■■ I forgot about the malt o milk. Upgraded to underrated.
Totally agree, they are rubbish, only sell here because of US cultural imperialism.
Ordinary Tim Tams are overrated too, is my hot take.
Chocotate teddy bears are underrated. And I miss chocolate wheatens - the a pommy version (chocolate digestives) which are available now are not as good.

Best: draw between monte carlos snd kingstons
Most over rated: timtams
The biscuit I find it impossible to feel manly whilst eating: iced vovo.
Worst: yoyos/melting moments or what ever the hell the are called. Will extract any moisture from you mouth with in 0.5 seconds of biting. I dunno how any one could eat one without a litre of water.
Special mention: pizza shapes.

Fair. I love Tim Tams but yes the carry on for them is a bit ridiculous at times.
I had an argument with some pom once about Tim Tams vs Penguins which are a complete let down, crunchier and utterly soul destroying.

While we’re at it. Does anyone under the age of 80 bother with Iced Vovos? They’re cack too.

Whoa. I was under the impression this was limited to the kinds of bikkies you offer with a cup of tea.
Well in that case, the crispy potato in a biscut from years ago are right up there. Wish I could find them again.
