For years it's been the same situation. The fans have bickered amongst themselves, from playground to factory tea break room and office lunch trolly, right into the OAP homes.

Jamie Dodgers v Wagon Wheels v Chocolate Digestives

In the past, there may have been regular digestives, custard creams, more recently the penguin, but whatever the biscuits, the arguments have been more or less the same.

Jamie Dodgers and Wagon Wheels face the same problem - the jam in the middle places them on the boundary between biscuit and cake, but most see this greater versatility to be a bonus, not a hinderance. Meanwhile the loyal fans of the digestive lines now claim theirs to be the only true dedicated biscuit. All styles are now regarded to be aesthetically of similar levels.

The Jamie Dodger has been around for a long time, longer than the Wagon Wheel and the chocolate digestives of the latest recipe, and so has a bigger fan base, but it could be argued that there simply isn't so much effort being put into the oldest of the group.

The Wagon Wheel is clearly the biggest, but its fluffy marshmallow insides give it similar actual content to its competitors. The jam is also tougher to get to, and generally seen as a bit less significant than that in the Jamie Dodger, perhaps because most of the Wagon Wheel's customers already have jam in their cupboards anyway. For its benefit, it does have a greater financial backing from creators George Weston Foods Ltd and have recently contracted with a highly regarded team of chefs to work on ingredients.

Generally regarded as the grandaddy of the biscuit business, the humble digestive has come a long way over the years. Its latest instalment, available in dark and milk chocolate, is undeniably a strong competitor and has a loyal fanbase still in love with its pure biscuit quality.



There is, unsurprisingly another aproach to the biscuit wars. Some like to enjoy all the biscuits, and while they may not be able to buy every type, they will happily enjoy their friends' biscuits while sharing their own.
And even if they don't, many will acknowledge the qualities of other biscuits, and take the general attitude that it really doesn't matter which any one person thinks is best. You just buy your biscuits and enjoy them.

And if you still hadn't seen it, all biscuits plan to be offering online gameplay in parts of the world by christmas.

Kewl post, I liked the way 2 biscuits had problems with correct amounts and placing of jam distribution.
