What would you identify this chocolate digestive as, milk out dark?
Yanny or Laurel?
Blue dress or gold?
Green needle or brain storm?
The answer to all of these is the same. It's "stop taking shit recordings / photos."
(... if pressed I'd say milk, the bottom photo looks more like the colour balance is off.)
Digestive = dark
Hob nob = either
It's supposed to be dark, doesn't look like either photo. Didn't taste dark, more like milk. Tesco you disappoint me.
If it was a mcvities dark chocolate digestive biscuit there’d be nothing to photograph, due I assume to the crack cocaine that goes into them. A very moreish biscuit.
FFS, why did I look at a picture of crack biccies at midnight?
I'll be off down the 24 hour garage at this rate.
Milk. And just finished a packet.
(Not all at once)
....hold on....Tesco ? Don't tell me this is a Tesco branded. Utter sacrilege.
McVities only for chocolate digestives.
Much as I love a McVities dark chocolate digestive (actually I mean "a packet" not "a"), there's a new kid on the block for cycling biscuits.

Sorry to disappoint you, but try the Aldi own-brand dark choc digestives
Their plain digestives were voted 5/5 in the Liverpool Echo 🙂
Two great things about this thread:
First, the (correct) consensus seems to be that dark chocolate digestives are superior.
Second the tip about Aldi.

@slowoldman what are they?
The bitter disappointment at opening s pack of supposedly dark chocolate digestive only to find milk chocolate biscuits hasn't abated.
The board meeting must have gone like this:
how can we lower the costs of producing dark chocolate biscuits?
milk?
brilliant yes do it.
Children!

Do you have a link to the article? I just want to make sure the test was double blind tasting and the article properly peer reviewed before publication.
One doesn’t want to accidentally buy an inferior biscuit on the back of a dodgy review.

Such big decisions need a meta-analysis surely?
In related news, I can confirm that coconut macaroon Hobnobs are ever so slightly moreish.
I'm a big fan of dark chocolate Hobnobs.

The SAINT MICHEL – MAVIC – AUBER93 team are part sponsored by biscuit manufacturer Saint Michel. In the TT of the TdF Femmes the team ran Mavic disc wheels with a "biscuity" look.
Aldi and Lidl are both better than McVities. And they are slightly smaller, which means you can eat more of them. Win!
Milk.
There are no biscuits, I repeat no biscuits in our house and everyone here knows why.
Confession - I do bake at the weekend, where, possibly, probably all butter shortbread will be involved.
same could be said for Lidl/Aldi jaffa cakes, much better than the originals.... Lidl's being the better of those two
