The first ever digestive biscuit was created by a new young employee, Alexander Grant. The name Digestive was derived from its high content of baking soda as an aid to food digestion. Over one hundred years later the McVities Digestive remains a firm favourite and is the highest selling brand in the everyday biscuit segment.
Over 71 million packets of McVities Chocolate Digestives are eaten in the UK each year thats an astounding 52 biscuits per second.
The HobNobs brand was launched in 1985 and a milk chocolate variant followed in 1987. | | | Features: | |

A loveable upstart of a biscuitNov 11, 2008
By Steve Benner
"Stonegnome"
The "Hobnob" is a Johnny-come-lately member of the upper echelons of the British biscuit market. Introduced only in 1984, this young upstart has nevertheless firmly established itself in the hearts (and mouths!) of the British biscuit-buying public, alongside the more traditional classics like the 300-odd-year old "Rich Tea" and the 130-year old "Digestive". It is sweeter and chewier than many other British biscuits, made from a mix of rolled and jumbo oats, in many ways presenting itself as something of a hybrid between a digestive biscuit and a flapjack. It may seem very dry to anyone brought up with cookies (rather than biscuits) and -- like most British biscuits -- "Hobnobs" are best eaten with a cup of tea. Needless to say, they make excellent dunking biscuits (although being quite flaky, they have a rather messy tendency to shed oat crumbs into the drink).
"Hobnobs" are decidedly more addictive than traditional British biscuits (no doubt due to their sweetness) and there is nothing truer than McVitie's original advertising line for this product: "one nibble and you're nobbled". A multipack may therefore be worth considering, unless, of course, you're dieting, in which case you would do well to avoid them entirely!

Hobnobs knock me outJul 15, 2008
By Stephen A. Gross
"Aridov"
Having eaten these first in Spain, I leapt at the chance to buy them here. Full flavored, not overly sweet, they have a rich full grain taste and very satisfying texture. This is a cookie one must chew and savor. They're a regular for me now. Also great dunked in tea or coffee.

I had these in Europe and just had to bring them home. They have a very clean taste that can be very refreshing.

I was earlier hesitant in ordering this product because i wasn't sure if this product was exactly same as the one sold in London.... BUT now we know that this is exactly same as those sold in UK... Also, the package was delivered promptly and it was appropriately packed in the box...

Plain Hob Nobs are hard to find, so bless you for carrying them. Buy in bulk to spread the sting of the shipping charge and they actually become quite affordable - either way, they were worth it. Package arrived quickly, well wrapped and with no broken biscuits!
