Wrong ! they are cakes

When they go stale, they get hard (oo-er!!), therefore they're cakes. Biscuits get soft when they go stale.

I looked at the most recent tesco catalogue and only saw a 12 pack advertised at a euro.

Sounds like its a 12 pack with 100% free in it so 24. This might not show up in a catalogue or online. I figure its similar to a misprice. Several times in tesco I have gotten really good deals like this. e.g. a 4 pack of kitkats for half price, but some of them are 100% free packets, so I was getting 8 for about €1.50.

I guess their computer system might just recognise them as a 12 pack and just puts a €1 price on all of them, the computer person might never see them.

The Jacobs ones are 100% nicer.

They're also well over 100% more expensive.
