    The bastards took the jelly star biscuit out of the Afternoon Tea! :eek:
    That was like a major part of my Christmas as a kid, getting that biscuit.

    What is with all these confectionery companies tampering with our sweets and biscuits.

    I've checked the Bible for guidance on this one, specifically the Book of Numbers, 24:17

    Folks, it's not good news.
    I shall see him, but not now: I shall behold him, but not nigh: there shall come a Star out of Jacob, and a Sceptre shall rise out of Israel, and shall smite the corners of Moab, and destroy all the children of Sheth...

    HEY KIDS, GET A CLUE, YOU CAN EAT DECORATIONS STRAIGHT OFF THE TREE THAT TASTE BETTER.

    ALSO, THERE IS NO SANTA.

    Kids these days don't care about jelly stars on biscuits they're all hepped up on heroin-flecked ecstacy pills and sexting themselves all over the youtubes. Get with the times granddad!

    Afternoon Tea has officially become a fail.

    I remember a time when you could get the red star jelly biscuit and the green star jelly biscuit in the one tin.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,559 ✭✭✭RoboRat

    Only that I liked donkey oaty's quote so much I would have gone off and started a right 2 stars protest group and converged on the Jacobs factory.



    I wonder could we get Paul Murphy on board. They would have no choice but to restore them to their rightful place. :)

    USA Biscuits - the tin you give to people you hate.

    Boycott Jacobs and move to Cadbury's now that they have removed the jelly star biscuit.

    Jacob's Jelly Star biscuits. The new Flappy Birds.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 33,761 ✭✭✭✭RobertKK


    Did everyone else pick the jelly bit off and eat each part separately?

    We'll be holding a vigil in Parnell Squaere this evening for anyone effected.
    Also a helpline will be set up to help people at this time of hardship over the loss of the defining and ever present jacobs jelly biscuit... it's going to be a tough Christmas..


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,750 ✭✭✭john the one


    I believe the people are marching upon the dail on the tenth of December to right this wrong.

    I just can't think of the slogan,anyone?..........

    Currently printing my banner for this.
    It goes 'Give us our Jelly, or Jacobs to Helly'.

    Yes yes there was never a Y in hell but there is now. This is how bad the situation is.

    Will there be any support group in Clonmel? Devastated, I am. I'd even suffer the pain of when my teeth are sensitive. WHY?

    Don't say that in public, there no knowing what the mob are capable of.

    There was full on panic when the Spice Burger disappeared for 10 minutes.
