Enjoying a good cream biscuit was one of the simplest pleasure of childhood a few decades ago. As such, even a slight change in that much-loved product unleashes a chain reaction. Something similar happened online after a tweet about the size of chocolate biscuit, Bourbon, and whether it has shrunk in size, bringing out biscuit nerds in droves.
His post caught the attention of many fellow foodies and created a buzz online that eventually garnered a response from Britannia Ltd. Reassuring all Bourbon lovers online, the manufacturers wrote there is no change in size, adding: “We know expectations are big, though.”
But the answers didn’t seem to fully satisfy Sanghvi, who further asked, “no change since when?” The company responded saying: “Not in the last 6 years at least,” and that’s when things got more people involved.
People soon weighed in, debating if the chocolate cream biscuit has indeed remained the same. Trinamool Congress MP Mahua Moitra too joined the banter and requested Britannia to bring her childhood favourite orange cream biscuits back, arguing the repacked version is “not even close”.
As the company mentioned six years, Sanghvi in another tweet wondered if all were talking about an older era, giving rise to a serious discussion of childhood nostalgia associated with the biscuit. And as many weighed in, of course, it led to some witty and hilarious responses as well.
