I’m guessing here that Choco Leibniz first seriously appeared in the UK in the 70s, so that would reinforce my view that they’re just weird foreign biscuits. Since the UK have always been OK for chocolate biscuits I’ve never seen the point.

Was not aware of them until this century

colinfilth · 2019-07-24T16:02:46.275Z

Quite possibly, although they opened a British business in 1972.

They’ll always be “the weird biscuits in the French supermarket” to me.

Aretha Franklin Vs Haribo tangfastics

Punjabi prison match

Catching up on this thread now and I have 2 observations -

Leibniz was the philosopher dude who (alongside Newton) invented calculus. The fuck are you lot doing eating him? Never heard of Leibniz in a biscuit context, is this another specialty Scottish thing or what?
if we’re counting clearly not biscuits as biscuits then why did these bad boys not make it through qualification? They’re clearly the best

Leibniz also believed that the sum of an infinite number of zeros would equal to one half using the analogy of the creation of the world from nothing

Should have stuck to making chocolate biscuits.

japes · 2019-07-24T17:14:33.307Z

try a leibniz mate it’ll change your life

Leibniz
This brand was the brainchild of the German food manufacturer Bahlsen, who wanted to create a rival to the biscuit Petit Écolier (“little schoolboy”) that was wildly popular in France. They were first produced in 1891 and named after the philosopher Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz who was a resident of Hanover where the biscuit company was based.

Wtf I missed some world cups. What were the categories that Wallace and Gromit and Aretha Franklin won?

Gnometorious · 2019-07-24T18:50:29.607Z

Oh wait, are a few of those from your HGWTR of TV and film? Cos I didn’t think they were finished.
