This time it's Griffin's though.

Amazing what you get away with when the hippies don't know.


The use of palm oil by Griffin's has outraged one Palmerston North woman in her seventies.

"They are using palm oil and have done for years in Gingernuts.

"They are pussy-footing around with us ... It's not good for your body," said the woman, who asked not to be named.

Cos biscuits are normally good for you.....

A bit of oil on the palm works wonders for blisters.

People jump at anything these days just to bitch and moan.
It's fucking pathetic.

Or if you leave the gingernut packet unwrapped at both ends so they go soggy and turn into ginger-flavoured cardboard. :eek5:

If you break them in half you get to eat twice as much because it's only half the calories!

Well my head trick is to break the biscuit in half in the biscuit container, eat one half, then go back an hour later and if its still there eat the other half, see its not like your eating a whole biscuit and the calories just don't add up the same as if you eat a whole one at once....you know i don't think thats weird behaviour at all until you explain why you do it....:Oops:
