A woman decided to pit McVitie’s biscuits against Marks and Spencer versions of them – and the results will probably leave you gobsmacked while wondering how they decided
A woman put the legendary McVitie’s biscuits head to head with Marks and Spencer, and the results are bound to leave you gobsmacked.
McVitie’s biscuits have a fantastic reputation, with their Digestives reigning supreme for years and years (since 1830, in fact). With the perfect thin layer of chocolate over a delightfully tasty biscuit that’s buttery and delightful, how could they possibly be beaten when it comes to taste? But when Laura Khoshaba and her mum Ann, who always appears off-screen in her videos, put the biscuits to the test, they couldn’t decide whether McVitie’s or Marks and Spencer deserved the top spot.
Milk Chocolate Digestives
First off, Ann said she thought the “M&S one looks prettier,” but, of course, it’s not always about appearance, and more the taste too.
When they tried the McVitie’s one, Laura said she “loves Chocolate Digestives,” and Ann claimed it was “good”.
They then put it through a dunk test, where Laura said the McVitie’s one was “amazing”. Ann also revealed she buys them all the time because they’re “really good”.
McVitie’s Digestives can be purchased from all supermarkets, and cost just £1.50 at B&M.
When Laura bit into the M&S one, she said: “Do you know what I like about this? It’s crunchier. And the chocolate is amazing.” Ann then admitted “the M&S chocolate, in my opinion, is the best chocolate”.
“I might prefer the M&S. Let’s dunk it and see,” Laura said. And after the dunk test, she didn’t change her mind, revealed the M&S digestive biscuits were her favourite.
But she did say they’re “both really nice”. The M&S Chocolate Digestives were also cheaper than the McVitie’s ones, coming in at £1.25.
Jaffa Cakes
Next, they tried both retailers’ versions of Jaffa Cakes, showing the M&S Jaffa Cakes are a rectangular shape, whereas the McVitie’s Jaffa Cakes are circular.
When Laura tried the McVitie’s one, she said she “loves” them, but Ann wasn’t a fan, commenting there was “too much jam” in the McVitie’s version.
McVitie’s Jaffa Cakes can be purchased for £1.25 from Morrisons.
They then tried the Marks and Spencer ones, saying they were “a million times better,” with Ann claiming had “less jam,” which pleased her.
Once again, Ann couldn’t stop talking about how good the Marks and Spencer chocolate is, saying the biscuit part was even “nicer”.
They also said they liked the fact the M&S Jaffa Cakes were thinner, with Ann finding the McVitie’s ones “too sickly”.
In the comments, people asked them to “not disrespect McVitie’s,” joking they must be “sponsored by M&S”.
Another said: “Anyone who actually eats these products regularly that these two have compared will almost always prefer Cadburys/McVitie’s over that bougie a** M&S version.”
