Worth importing these bad boys back to London?

1. If those are the ones with more cocoa over the UK ones, definitely worth it.

2. £1.95 in Tescos. You wanna buy them here and take to HK surely?

3. Currently £1.50 for 266g in Tesco’s with a ClubCard.

   It really says more about the Co-Ops pricing, than anything else.

4. They better have been crafted by the hand of Mr McVitie himself

5. No wonder all they eat is fucking rice with those prices.

6. HK$35 is about £3.62 according to Google. I guess more than you’d pay in London but not terrible if you have a craving that can’t wait.

7. Coop in London for Milk Chocolate, as per your linked post: [https://www.coop.co.uk/products/mcvities-milk-chocolate-digestive-433g](https://www.coop.co.uk/products/mcvities-milk-chocolate-digestive-433g) – £2/433g, which is surprisingly good for co-op!

   (And yes, shows as available in lots of London stores.)

8. We have a local coop that gets shit for being a bit more more expensive, small shop small footfall and less purchase power. Tesco and the others are mob handed bullies that like to give it the big one but Aldi and Lidl locally are kicking their collective arse’s.

9. It’s dark chocolate so no thank you!!

10. They’re 1 quid in my local Nisa

11. Hong-Kong dollars, which isn’t US dollars. It’s £3.50 or something, so give or take double what they cost in the UK. Hong Kong workers get an average of $435,000 a year, or £45,00. UK average is £40,000f so they’re a BIT worse off over there.

12. No one going to mention them hob nobs hiding out under a false identity

13. They don’t taste the same, even though they’re made in the UK they seem to have a different recipe for Asia, I think to make the chocolate less susceptible to melting.

    In Singapore you could get these locally marketed ones, but also parallel imported ones which were for the UK market and definitely better.

14. They’re probably not British made.
