Default Double Deckers, Club and Penguin

Our local super seems to be selling all of these lately (as reported by the wife).

I guess the companies are taking the exchange rate opportunity to test the market here.

Personally I never understood the appeal of Club and I reckon Penguin would be a hard sell against Tim Tams.

I wonder if there'll be a few more Brit products appearing on the shelves in the near future.

My wife seemed excited by the appearance of Double Deckers too. I tried to fully join in the excitement by helping her eat them!!!

Wow. I loved Club (pale blue wrapper, what was the flavour now? purple one, Fruit & Nut wasn't bad either...) last time I had one was about 1980!

We spied the Double Deckers a few weeks ago and have been enjoying them. They are Brit ones so hopefully shouldn't taste funny, unless you've now got used to funny Aussie chocolate!

Still don't get the concept though.

I've eaten way too many Double Deckers since spotting them at Safeway for 99c, now I'm sick of them! Haven't seen Club or Penguin yet thou, probably for the best...

Love Penguins, they beat Tim Tams anyday. Fruit Club Biscuits are too die for, the others are OK, but I love the fruit ones. And I met a man in a pub in London last week who was so terrified by my witchy presence that he actually gave me his last double decker
