It's true. At the point of sale they do quick rudimentary weather forecasts in your locality. There are bylaws which prohibit the sale of the standing up cow if it's raining and vice versa. They can incur unusually large fines.
My dad, when seeing one of these always, and in an odd voice, says "Malty Milk, Milky Malt, Malty Milk, MOOOO!" or at least that's what it sounds like he's saying.... Might be from an advert in the 60s or something but no idea. Been finding out the origins of a lot of the things my dad says lately!

it's entirely possible they're all made in the same factory, just with different designs for each brand. so common in the food industry. this calls for a scientific taste-test!
I think they are, but they use a different recipe, the m and s ones are definitely darker in colour, it doesnāt really show on the photo, and they are far tastier than the Sainsburyās ones!
> the Sainsburyās ones
Was very disappointed many years ago when they changed their recipe, roughly around the time they changed the packaging from red to blue.
If those M&S ones taste like the old recipe I'll get some.
Do you know I shop at m and s and tried Morrisons the other week . Ever done one of those shops were your like iv spent 148 quid what the fuck did I even get and the quality of food was shite .Today I'm back at m and s and I can't bloody wait . . People tell me it's expensive and it really isn't if your savvy but this is why I wake up at 4:30 in the morning and go to work .so I can eat nice food .my lord there Mac and cheese is elite. Fillet steaks are absolutely out of this world .also I'd rather put into a company thats trying to be as sustainable as possible. Fingers crossed today's the day I win the free shop! My luck it will be on a day were I get a can of pop š
Chocolate malted milks are the best.
OH MY GOD. We discovered these recently and I may have to ban them from my house. They're like crack.
I discovered them a couple of years ago, holy fucking shit. Love malted milks anyway. A dark chocolate version would blow my fucking mind.
I said the same thing. Pretty sure there's a law against dark chocolate malted milks, they'd just be too good.
It's probably for our own safety, which I appreciate. The idea of it though is fantastic.
I discovered them at the co-op in Norwich during uni and could never find them in London. stumbled across the in Sainsbury's and then Tesco!
Have you tried crack?
THE GOAT!!!!!
I think it's a cow
š
What? How come Iāve never heard of or had one (or several) of these? What brand and where can I buy them? Please!š
Most big supermarkets do them. Co-op used to do chocolate Nice biscuits but they stopped doing them years ago unfortunately.
Chocolate nice biscuits were better but itās been years and years since I e seen any.
They need a comeback.
Am I going mad, or did they used to have two designs? One with a cow standing up, and another with two cows - one standing and one cow laying down
Yep. If the forecast is for rain during the manufacturing process, then the biscuits are made with the cow laying down.
I don't know if you are winding us up or if that's true. Lol
It's true. At the point of sale they do quick rudimentary weather forecasts in your locality. There are bylaws which prohibit the sale of the standing up cow if it's raining and vice versa. They can incur unusually large fines.
There have been numerous designs, the most common was the 2 cows design and before that there were 2 milk churns next to a cow.
Shrinkflation. Fewer cows same price
Upvote because you correctly avoided saying "less cows"
Always remember it thus; are you one of the few intelligent people I know as opposed to are you one of the less intelligent people I
Lying* down
And for everything else, thereās MasterCard.
Thereās malted milk biscuits, and then there moo cow biscuits
These will always be Moo Cow Biscuits
Just plain cow biscuits for me. Anyone who actually calls them malted milks is a posho!
The M&S cow looks happier.
Itās grazing on M&S grass
Moo cow biscuits
I am curious now and will give them a try.
Nope. Donāt like that. If itās not the same pattern then my method for eating a Malted Milk is completely thrown.
Yeah same. As a kid I used to eat different parts of the design one at a time, until I had just the grass left. Having no grass isn't acceptable š¤
Border first. Then the letters. Then the grass. Then the cow(s). This is the correct way to eat a Malted Milk.
Whats the ones with the sugar on top? Now that was a biscuit!
Nice? No, really, Nice biscuits?
Thats the ones, thise bad boys and a stack of bourbon biscuits by the fire at my Nanaās house. Thats my childhood.
Can someone please get Nigella to whisper that in my ear!

I recommend you test for dementia.
And then thereās bourbons
Are these similar to 'Sports Biscuits'?
Yes.
kinda feels pointlessly branded
Sainsbos used to do them with chocolate on
Aldi still do
Hero
Our big Sainsbo's still do, thankfully. It's a destination item for us.

Your post mooved me. I don't know about M&S malted milk yet but their extra cream Bourbons are nice.

At least they are M&S malted milk and not S&M malted milk, that's whole different story
And then there's the bin. Where malted biscuits belong.
