They are half the size Callistemon! And I'm twice the size, so where's the justice in that?

Club biscuits are half the size they used to be.

I do fancy a Twix

But I have eaten a lot of junk type carbs today.

Penguins were never my favourite; too much biscuit to chocolate ratio. I always preferred orange or mint Club biscuits. But now the chocolate around them is so measly that I don't like them much any more either. Viscount mint biscuits, in the green metallic wrappers are much better.

I thought this thread was about the item in the news today about prostitute penguins!
I kid you not! ?

Not too keen on chocolate things but Belgian buns now that’s another story every now and the. I buy those packs of two to have a few days apart, unfortunately they never like being parted

Funny, I have never liked Penguins. Nor, for that matter, any chocolate covered biscuits.

Although I like chocolate and I like biscuits. Just not together grin

Haven't had a Penguin in years. Might pick up a packet on way back from the voting.

No, but I had two mince pies this evening after a carol service.
I did miss dinner, my excuse.

I have been told three times this evening that it takes 20 minutes of walking to get rid of the calories in a mince pie.

That upset me so I came home and had a glass of wine

Always have penguins in the fridge, but I am not a big chocolate fan......might have to do some “quality control”tchgrintr

You forgot your Ps lemon. It’s ppp pick up a penguin I believe. tchgrin

Just that really...?made a cuppa and felt peckish so picked up a penguin, and then another!
It’s this time of night, and they’re very more-ish ( felt justified in having two as they are much smaller than they used to be)
I, on the other hand, am much larger than I used to be.
