I've seen them in farmfoods before, but in boxes rather than bags. We've had them at work a few times, but not recently, and I think you can still get them!

Do they exist still or do supermarkets pack them and sell them whole ones anyway? lol”
Yes we have a local store stocked entirely with em ,crisps &cakes its always busy the savings are great also 4 Litres of 1% fat milk for £1.50.
we used to get them from the local market, and chocolate "mis-shapes", (you never know what you're gonna get)
could always buy a pack of custard creams and sit on them!
I love broken biscuits, I dont know if you have one near you but The Range seel them, the chocolate ones and normal ones. Only thing is with them they dont seem to be very broken lol
I bought a bag of chocolate misshapes - and they weren't remotely misshapen, so they must just be overruns at the factory; and they were all Thonton's Continentals.
Very nice indeed.
I suppose it's the luck of the draw, though. Who knows, I might end up with a whole bag of something drastic like Maltesers next time.
Thanks to the monkies that stack the shelves you can buy them in any supermarket.................although you only usually find out when you open them.
Haven't seen them in years. We often had them in the seventies, came in a plain brown box, either from the Express Dairy shop or the Co-op, can't remember which.

Gosh, that takes me back, I used to buy them from the Co-op in the seventies for my,now, ex-husband. He used to stuff bicuits down like there was no tomorrow. Quite a lot of the biscuits turned out not to be broken, which seemed funny.
We used to have them from 'Fine Fare' or 'Thrifty' when I was young. Then I used to buy bags from Kwiksave for my children. They disappeared for a long time and now my corner shop is selling Cadbury's bags of broken chocolate fingers and chocolate hobnobs mixed for £1.99. I've stopped buying them tho' as somehow they're more lethal than buying packs as you can just 'have one more' far too easily. I tried telling myself that the calories must have leaked out as they were broken but I don't think my body caught on.
Large pack of custard cremes, digestives, choc chip cookies, and some bourbons and still have change, i doubt the demand is there for them. (Asda Smart Price buscuits)
I haven't bought them in ages but they came in handy when I was a student. The best ones were those that you can buy direct from the factory...yum..yum..
I really enjoy getting them, they are always good quality chocolates, not usually very miss-shapen at all, and you never know what you are going to get. And you get loads in a quid bag.
