Comparing MsMolly's & McVities Digestive Biscuits! PRICE SHOCKER

How's everyone doing out there? I hope you're all absolutely spot on. Now I'm going to do something a little bit different today. We're going to do a comparison, a digestive comparison. Just thought we'd take a look. Prices are massively different. I have done a chocolate digestive comparison four years ago now. I did McVitie's versus Aldi. Anyway, I've been shopping to Tesco. Come and have a look what I got. So I've got these. I've got digestives, McVitie's. We've all seen these ones before, haven't we? Uh, yeah. So these are, where's the, 315 grams. Oh, we've got a suitable for vegetarians on there. Yeah. And I picked these up as well. These were right next to them, exclusively at Tesco and Mrs Molly's. And I thought, I've seen the price, which I'll tell you in a minute. I thought, goodness me, there's definitely a comparison on the go here. That's for sure. Yeah. Right. I'll tell you the price now. So the McVitie's Digestives for 315 grams was £1.90. Now the Miss Molly's and it's got an Aldi price match were 59 pence that's for 400 grams so you're getting 85 grams more. Wow 59p versus £1.90. Got to do a comparison haven't we. Now I know what the purists McVitie munchers will say, no comparison this, McVitie's every time. Well is it? Is it? Let's take a closer look at the packaging. So I'll have a look at the digestives first. The original, it says, yeah, you can scan that to find out more about the sustainability story. And that's good, isn't it? Part of it, part of it. Partnering with farmers. 100% British wheat. We've got the crest on there, look. Yeah, by appointment to His Majesty. Yeah, do you remember it used to be Her Majesty? So we've got a little traffic light, well I was going to say a traffic light system but we haven't. It's basically all the same colour. That's what you get. I will compare it with the others. Now this is just a bit of fun this. Nothing massively serious. We're just having a bit of a, you know, a sort of comparison here. So there's the nutrition in more detail and there's the ingredients. We've got flour 55%. The allergens are wheat in there. We've got wheat flour is 15%. and it's suitable for vegetarians which we've covered so we've got Miss Molly here digestive biscuits 400 grams so you're getting 85 grams more which we've covered so let's have a look at the ingredients we've got wheat as the allergen oats in there it doesn't say does Yeah, it doesn't say the percentage is. It just... Basically, yeah, there's no percentages of anything. Now we've got sugar, palm oil. Do we have palm oil in these? Let's have a look. Folic acid, yeah, palm oil in there as well. Folic acid, folic acid. Refined syrup we've got in there. We've got, what have we got in there? Inverted sugar syrup. Yeah, inverted refined syrup. Yeah, pretty much the same. It just tells you the percentages on there, doesn't it? What else? A little more spiel on here. I'm going to make a cup of tea in a minute. A nice, nice strong cup of tea. And we're going to do the dunk test as well before we before we try them. But let's have a look at this nutrition and we'll do a side by side. If you want to zoom in there, best you can or even pause it and have a look. So, yeah, that's there's the side by side comparison. That's each biscuit contains. Have a look at them. Yeah, we've got no artificial colours or flavours, no hydrogenated vegetable oil, 70 percent wheat and whole meal. Yeah I would imagine to find out more about this partnering you've just scan that sustainability story perhaps. I do notice we've got a tab system on there as well look look at that little tab system we'll see if that's here see if that works. Yeah please let me know what you think in the comments. Right I'm going to make a nice cup of tea now nice strong cup of tea and we'll sit down and we'll try them. So I'd like to take this opportunity to thank you for watching and if I could kindly ask you to if you're not subscribed to maybe consider subscribing or subscribe and give the video a thumbs up. I can't ask for any more than that. I do thank you. Right. I've got a nice cup of tea and it's Yorkshire tea. I do like Yorkshire tea. So I've got I've got festive pies and slices to review but I've had enough of doing Christmas stuff. It's we've just had bonfire night and I've just I've seen this. in the shop i thought worth a comparison it's definitely worth a comparison so let's have a look several looks here see how you get into these so i think you just open them at the top don't you these the McVitie's and we'll have a look yeah just like that oh nearly dropped them then so there's yet slightly um it's a bit missing off the end of that one so let's that's there let's have a look at this one let's see if this tab system works tear here it says oh no let's have Let's have a look. Oh no, it's not worked, has it? Oh, hang on a minute. Hang on a minute. Ah, there we go. Just pulling the wrong bit, wasn't I? Normally, all I do is get a knife like that and go in, go in halfway. So, yeah, I'll get that. I'll put that there. Digestive. McVitie's, the original. There they are. That's the original and that's not. That's a bit darker, I'd say. I'd say probably about the same size. Or are they? Yeah, same size, I would say. But the original is darker. What's your favourite? Chocolate digestives are the best, aren't they? Well, with chocolate on. Do you know what I mean? So, I've got a nice cup of tea. I'm going to do the dunk test. How long does it go in for? I don't want it to break up. That's what I don't want it to do. So, what I'll do, I'll try it. I'll tell you what, I'll try it before I do the dunk test. We'll cut it in half, see how it breaks. That stayed well that. Let's have a look at this one. Oh yeah, that's just the same. Stayed together, just broke in half and we'll try it without dunking it and then we'll dunk it. Very crunchy. I haven't had digestives in ages. I thought they were a bit softer than that. That was quite quite crunchy. I can see why you need a cup of tea. Crikey, it's just gone all sort of claggy in my mouth. I definitely need a cup of tea just to wash that down. Right, let's try this. Let's try it on its own. It's just exactly the same, no difference. It just tastes exactly the same. You know what he's saying, you do a blind test, do a blind test. It's just exactly the same. I mean, the connoisseur, the biscuit connoisseur out there, you know, who've been eating McVitie's all their lives will definitely, will probably go, yeah, I can taste a difference. I can taste a difference. Someone who doesn't, you know, who doesn't really, don't eat a lot of biscuits, to be fair. It just tastes exactly the same. £1.31. £1.31 more they are, the McVitie's, than these. Right, this is a McVitie, let's have a look. I would say about that long. That long is a dunk. That long is for me. Soaked it up well. Soft. Let's see if this is the same. This is how long. I'll try and do the same. Not, you know, anyone who's timing. I might be a second or half a second away. Can't tell the difference. I can't. No. I do need a couple with that. Stuck in my teeth. It just goes to show these are 59 pence. These are £1.90. Are you paying for the name? I mean, it's good that it's partnering with farmers. 100% British wheat. That is absolutely fantastic, isn't it? It really is. We've got to support our British farmers the best way we can. Now, I don't know on here. It's just got Tesco. It's got Ireland on there. Tesco, Ireland Limited. Yeah. No other information really on there. There's no stamp. Please let me know what you think and what you prefer. Yeah, it's just a quick video of this. Nothing, you know. If someone watches, I'll be happy. I get it if you don't. Yeah. But I'm just a bit fed up of doing Christmas stuff and all that. I'm not humbug and all that, you know. I'm no Scrooge. It's just, yeah, the last two videos have been sort of Christmas. Although, I've done a Burger King and I've done a Subway and not really anything's Christmassy about them, to be fair. And I've got loads of, I've got some pies and some slices to do. Festive pies and slices, they'll be upcoming reviews. I'm a bit pied out at the moment, I am. Please let me know if you like the video, I do appreciate it. And if you've got any recommendations or comparisons, we'll have a look at them. So yeah, like I said, I've done the chocolate one and now this is this one. So that's the height, that's the difference you're getting. There's your 85 grams. And you're saving £1.31. And I can't tell the difference. Couldn't tell the difference. It's not going to stay up there, is it? No. Right, thanks for watching. Take care. Have a good weekend, whatever you're doing. Whatever you're doing. And I will get back to you on the next one.
