?!!!

How big a "tin" are we talking?  Whenever I've found them they've 
been small plastic-wrapped packages, or occasionally paper 
cylinders, in either case with about 12 biscuits.  These are 
McVitie's.  Carr's makes the plain ones, though I think they are a 
poor second to the chocolate-coated ones.  Chacun a son gout.

They cost about $3.50 at a chi-chi market around here.  Whither the 
inexpensive Midwest?  I could ship you a case and you'd still save 
money.  But then you'd have an entire case, and shortly afterwards, 
a ballooning waistline.

The food conversations here are very dangerous.  I have been buying 
100 Grand bars ever since talking about them a few weeks ago.  I 
wonder if anyone sells mini-ones in bags for Halloween.  After all, 
it's a civic obligation to buy candy for trick-or-treaters, and it's 
very important to buy more than you think you need so you don't run 
out.
