    Clearly a biscuit

    A Yorkie or a Dairy Milk is a chocolate bar.

    This is a give away, really:

    McVitie’s most popular chocolate biscuit bar, Penguin, is now 75 years old. One of the first biscuits to be advertised by name rather than company, its association with the distinctive birds (the packaging featuring a giant Emperor Penguin) is synonymous with the brand’s appeal.

    Penguin was first produced in 1932 by William McDonald, a biscuit manufacturer in Glasgow, and became a McVitie’s brand when McDonald joined with McVitie’s and Price, MacFarlane Lang & Co and Crawford to form United Biscuits in 1946.

    It only mentions biscuit 4 times.

    What a moronic poll.

    A rich tea or hobnob is clearly a biscuit

    Nothing like a penguin.

    What's a Twix then? Biscuit aswell?

    With the word "biscuit" in between - you retard.

    Chocolate coated biscuit.
    A sponge cake, covered with icing, is not an icing cake.

    You're clearly insane.

    A Twix is more biscuit than anything else.</p>

    How about a compromise, a chocolate biscuit?</p>

    Lol

    So is a Mars a caramel bar then?

    A Cadbury's fudge a 'fudge bar'?

    A Picnic a 'peanut and raisin bar'?

    I can see how it's classified as a biscuit but by your argument the only chocolate bars that exist are the likes of Dairy Milk and Galaxy.

    RE: A rich tea or hobnob is clearly a biscuit

    You see I'm NOT arguing that it's not a biscuit, simply that it could also be classified as a chocolate bar.

    The people 'ridiculing' me about the Penguin thing think a Twix is a chocolate bar. I fail to see the difference except that a Twix contains some caramel!

    Why are you even having the argument?

    Ask them about teacakes/current teacakes etc

    or

    scallops/fishcakes/turnovers

    Correct.

    A chocolate bar is a bar of chocolate.
    The others are simply varied confectionary.

    I'll post you my degree in Chocolate Studies from Derby Uni.
