    I hate that crack of 'found on the biscuit aisle' for things that aren't biscuits.
    If you have to tell people to look in the biscuit aisle for it, it's probably not a blinkin' biscuit!!

    (sorry) those ferraro Giatto ... I think? their ad was 'found in the biscuit aisle' when clearly they're a chocolate sweet type thing, similar to ferraro roche.

    I do rather enjoy Happy Hippos, they're similar to their Kinder Bueno sibling and I'd class them as chocolate type thing.

    There's no way they're a biscuit, although Tesco did once move them from the sweets aisle to the biscuit aisle. It took me months to find them, and then they promptly stopped stocking them :mad:. I'd call them sweets maybe. There's only a hint of cocoa in them so they're not chocolate.

    Definitely not a biscuit I'd have thought. It's wafer stuff with a creamy / hazelnut filling so yeah maybe more of a sweet -- like ferraro raffaello

    I tend to just call them perfection.

    I haven't had one in AGES now :(.

    They've stopped stocking them in the Lidl closest to me :(. And by closest, I mean it's still a 20 minute drive away. I'll have to venture further afield!

    They have them in Lidl in Midleton if that's any good. And they're multipacks too. :D
