Chocolate Malted Milk and Choco Hobnobs in the same group? 

 

Both should have been in pot A, you don’t see Brazil drawing Germany in the group stages of the World Cup do you.

[DJ Barry Hammond]

 

Important note:

 

In the event of a voting tie, the least expensive biscuit as deemed by a quick check of a national retailers website will be deemed superior on a votes per cost basis. Judges decision will be final. 

 

I feel like I have to much time on my hands.

They weren't seeded so could get drawn together and that's the beauty of this format. There's winners and losers in every draw - I'm sure Bourbon Creams are delighted with theirs. But at least they both know, if they make it through the group, they don't face each other off again until the final, should they make it that far.

some big hitters in group G

Yeah I can, I voted for it twice and would have done in any case. I want a shortbread - shortcake final.

Lets face it, that ain't going to happen. The brown un's are going to dominate this.

Didn’t know what shortcake was, you’d need a big mug to dip one of these in your tea!

Custard creams walking group E?

 

Probably voted for by the same people who like beige, vanilla, ready salted and Adele.

Agreed, Custard creams and Bourbons are pure poverty. Decent when you are marvin but if you want a bit of class and you have a budget of more than 50p you should go for anything else.

If Adele encountered Custard creams, Custard creams do not win in any circumstance.
