I hadn't noticed they'd disappeared. I hope not because they are a classic!

Lucy, try the Nabisco site - they took over Jacobs years ago, so Jacobs probably don't have their own website (in the same way the brand names Fry's and Rowntree still exist for certain products, but under the ownership of Cadbury and Nestle.) Actually, thinking about it Nabisco may have since been sold on too...

I've got a feeling Nabisco are part of Danone.

There USED to be a lot of chocolate on Club biscuits. Nowadays, you can see the biscuit through the chocolate.

When I was small, my mum would sometimes buy me a single Club orange biscuit on shopping trips as a treat. They didn't make multi-packs in those days. I loved the way it was so neatly packaged with a pretty wrapper around a foil package and a beautiful juicy orange on the wrapper. They sat on the grocery counter in a neat box.

It makes me fill up to think about the little things that made life so special in those days.

I think you may be correct Monsieur Hunter.

I liked fruit clubs.

I liked Double Choc Clubs (the biscuit itself was chocolate too) but they stopped making those many moons ago.

the chocolate was REALLY thick, do you remember the ad with the rhino breaking the chocolate? it really was that thick. I used to microwave mine slightly and peel the chocolate off first. orange and mint were best.

The reason Clubs changed was because there was an EU directive in 1991 that stated:

Chocolate Act 1991, Brussels 6.7 vii

Any Milk, plain or family chocolate when used as covering for wafer, biscuit or similar shall not excede 3mm.

I understand Clubs could be 4.5mm.

4.5mm has to be better than 3mm anyday.
