McVities Chocolate Digestives

Ever heard of the cookie monster? I believe that whoever the monster is, one thing is for sure - he or she must be British.

You see, somebody in the UK is eating 52 McVities Chocolate Digestive biscuits every second. And since Blighty's Tuck Store began its special on McVities Milk and Dark Chocolate Digestives, somebody in Canada is trying to catch up.

McVities is a brand belonging to United Biscuits, a giant UK food corporation but the McVities digestive biscuit story began in 1925 when the original digestive was invented by a new, young employee called Alexander Grant. Now, 71 million packets of McVities chocolate digestives are produced every year.

The McVities digestives family includes the original biscuit without the chocolate, a dark chocolate covered biscuit and a milk chocolate covered biscuit. Digestives do not aid digestion, but the name originated from the belief that the high baking soda content did just that.

At Blighty's Tuck Store, customers choose McVities brand in preference to all the other brands we have put on the shelves. The milk and dark chocolate digestives are among the best-selling items in the store.
