They must have taken the raisins out? I ate these about a month ago so maybe they just got put in!? Who knows!?<br /><br />It looks like demand is there for these GU Tiffins - I will see what I can do :D<br /><br /><b> Justin </b><br /><br />Perhaps they should spend less time on mocking up their on pack blurb and more time on their actual product.<br /><br /><b> Alan </b><br /><br />Boy they do sound similar don&#39;t they.<br /><br />I remember the Cadbury Tiffin not being the best Irsih dairy milk bar but it was still nice! Talking about Irish Cadbury chocs I picked up that Morro bar you sent this weekend chap! Thanks again for that. Really appreciate it as always.<br /><br /><b> Nick </b><br /><br />It is a shame but I got tell it like I see it.<br /><br /><b> Emma </b><br /><br />Don&#39;t worry I won&#39;t blame anyone.

I feel like bombarding you with my nonsense :)<br /><br />Speaking of the cadbury tiffin bar that Alan was, er..speaking of, I saw an advert today for a new cadbury bar that looks very much like it. Berry and vanilla shortcake biscuit, I think, had a naff name like &quot;bar of plenty&quot; or some similar wtf-ery. <br />Is this common knowledge? Am I making an arse of myself be being the gleeful news-bringer? Actually I don&#39;t think I&#39;m that gleeful, sounds a bit too much like those cranberry/apricot/granola bars they did. Still, new bar!

Back in the early noughties there were loads of upmarket brands like this popping up, now they seem to be dying out. Maybe people also realized that things like this are just more hype than substance. The only such thing I&#39;ve had recently to justify its high price were the GU millionaires Naughties.Philnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1558756857427513373.post-2695088632871865032010-02-07T14:23:44.297Z2010-02-07T14:23:44.297ZI think Mr Bunbury is just a poor Mr Kipling wannabe.

I can&#39;t remember if they had raisins in or not but I wasn&#39;t overly impressed either way. They did do a Tiffin which had cherries and such in it too. <br /><br />Having said that - and I know you werent so keen on it,but I do like Cadburys Tiffin chocolate bar from ireland that you reviewed Jim. But I suppose it is a slightly different proposition since the bar isn&#39;t made of crushed up digestives lolAlannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1558756857427513373.post-46349915569511746162010-02-07T10:33:26.240Z2010-02-07T10:33:26.240Zlol I am not quite sure what they mean by &#39;positively bathed&#39; either.

They didn&#39;t have raisins, literally just the biscuit and choc. I actually didn&#39;t have much of an opinion, just mild indifference really. They were nice, and uh..yeah. Positively average!<br /><br />If you feel like being frivilous and reckless with money I heartily recommend the Gu tiffin/biscuit bites (next to the brownies in the fridged area!). They&#39;re fantastic, but alarmingly over-priced.lottiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15652929111468546340noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1558756857427513373.post-62491112711206972122010-02-07T10:25:18.706Z2010-02-07T10:25:18.706ZI am amazed amount of the fat in just one biscuit.
