Forcey fun time

Reply to Skidmark who asked what they are

The short answer is a little taste of heaven.

A more detailed answer is:

Jammy Dodgers - soft biscuit 'sandwich' with a raspberry jam filling.

Wagon Wheels - chocolate covered marshmallow with a biscuit base.

Nevermind

What exactly are jammie dodgers and wagon wheels? I know they're cookies but what kind?

Wagon wheels: en.wikipedia.org...:Wagon_Wheel.JPG

Each retails for about 60p each, so to steal £20,000 worth of merchandise, that's around 350 boxes of 48 packs each. Probably an entire container worth of biscuits. But all boxes and packs will have serial numbers for quality assurance purposes.

I reckon you would adore both Schuyler.

Both wonderful delights to behold and taste when I was a child n the 1970's. The Wagon Wheels were much bigger when I was younger, or did I grow too big?

a reply to: Cobaltic1978
No, the Wagon Wheels have got smaller. Now they would break under the strain of a good-sized wagon.

I remember when Wagon Wheels were 'this big'. ...

Thank you! Two of my favorites.

Nice pics. Thanks. Now I'm hungry lol.

If they had stolen Oreo's it would have been thrown out of court.

Now this is awesome! Can't wait to tell my friends about this one, ha!!

A friend of mine lived on his fathers tip. You could dump anything there if you gave his dad enough money. Bodies, nuclear waste, it's all there. One day an entire container of cadburys cream eggs was dumped. My friend's body shape was changed forever.

Working after a music festival a few years ago we were clearing the waste left by the food traders and found 50kg of perfectly good hummus.

We took it back to our camp and thought we had hit gold, all the hummus you could ever want for 2 days, we had no fridge though and it went a bit sour so we put it next to a skip to be desposed of.

4 days in the sun later and 2 of the 10kg tubs exploded.

Made a hell of a mess and stank awful.

Dirty hippy bombs.

We probably shouldn't be discussing this in case it gives someone terrorist ideas. Like the ones I'm having. Dignified event. Over-ripe hummus. Chaos.
