You just opened a new box of Family Circle. But what are you picking first, and what gets left?

For us, the first to go is usually the shortbread and the custard creams. I tend to leave the chocolate covered ones until later because they don’t dunk well.

TBH, these all look awesome.

    I want to try this (I've never had it).

    I'm trying each one, but I'm trying the one that looks like a turd last. (I'm guessing it's a pretzel? Or a chocolate covered biscuit?)

    Shortbread cookies would be my go-to as well. But I want to try all of these.

    It’s a chocolate finger biscuit, yeah.

    Thanks! Though "Nice" doesn't tell me anything. Curious about the Bourbon Cream.

    It’s Nice as in the city (pronounced like niece). They’re a little controversial as some people hate the coconut flavour, but I enjoy them!

    Bourbons are extremely popular. Easily one of the most common biscuits in the UK! But if you’re expecting anything to do with the alcohol you’ll be disappointed - they’re chocolate flavour.

    This is the exact selection this community was made for! Bourbons first and Nice last obviously. Custard creams used to be a close second but I've gone off them a bit. Crunchy Oats are the most underrated.

    First they came for the browns, and I said nothing.
    Then they came for the rounds, and I said nothing.
    Then they came for me, and I said nothing,
    for I was just grateful to not be left discarded in the box like those poor custard creams.
