cocoa-flavored God

Brought to you by: Penguin Biscuits

To call this delectable delight “just another chocolate bar” is tantamount to a slap in the face.  I had the misfortune of not growing up with such easy access to Penguin Biscuits.  I was tossed out of Scotland at an early age so much of my childhood growing up I was stuck eating shit sticks of Kit kat and Eat-More.  Yuck.  Finally over the last few years they have been made accessible for a reasonable price at local grocers.  They may have been for years, but I didn’t go to a grocery store until in my twenties; due to being a man.  Women be shopin’!  They were first produced in 1932 by biscuit manufacturer in Glasgow.  Each wrapper has a joke or “funny fact” printed on it and imaginative, often humorous designs featuring penguins that often pastiche famous works of art.
