Day 3: Hangover Induced Day Off
Unfortunately, I am suffering from a Custard Cream hangover (you know the feeling!) So I'm having a day off to freshen up for tomorrow when, fingers crossed, everything will be back to normal. In the meantime though I have a little video for all you bisc-com lovers out there!

Day 2: Sainsbury's Custard Creams. 49p. 200g. (3.0625p/biscuit)
So, on the second day of my Custard Dream I am working. Hardly "The Dream" right? Well you'd be surprised. I have just started some part time work in Sainsbury's which gave me the ideal opportunity to review their own brand Custard Creams. After nearly forgetting to buy them on my break... whoops! I sit down in the canteen and break open the pack (which is a single filed biscuit formation, as opposed to the more popular double) and enter the first biscuit into the gaping abyss that is my mouth.
The taste hit me instantly, unlike the Co-Op's biscuits the biscuit part of the Custard Cream actually had a nice taste and a creamy texture. Not only that but the cream middle was also very tasty and offered a bit of moisture to the biscuit allowing for easier consecutive consumption, which was also aided by the smooth biscuit to cream transition. Unfortunately, though, the pack was not as big as most of its competitors (from what i've seen so far) and as a result probably wouldn't be enough for a family, but would work as an excellent snack instead of the over-priced chocolate bars on sale today.
Biscuit: 8/10
Cream: 8/10
Price: 5/10
Overall: 21/10

Day 1: Co-operative Custard Creams. 59p. 300g. (2.4583p/biscuit)
So for my first day I go to the shop closest to me, makes sense right? About 15 minutes walk away, I have been here so many times but not once have I gone in and bought Custard Creams. As soon as I arrive I head towards the biscuit aisle to find a 300g pack at a competitive price of 59p (considering Tesco's recent price upgrade). As a general rule I am not allowed to have anything with the biscuits, so I had to swiftly drink the milk I bought before I opened the pack, picked out a biscuit and put it in my mouth.
At first I thought "where is the flavour?!" they seemed very bland until a few seconds when I got a faint taste of the "Cream" part of the biscuit. In addition to that after a few biscuits I found myself chewing more and more and my mouth constantly drying up. The biscuit part of the confectionery product just felt like dust in your mouth after a few bites,which made eating them consecutively pretty difficult. I was so disappointed with the pack that I ended up giving at least 5 biscuits to my dog. I expected better from the Co-Op.
