Comments on: United Biscuits http://www.childofthe1980s.com/2008/04/03/united-biscuits/ Child of the 1980's - If you grew up in the 80's, then here you'll find TV, films, toys, games, music, sweets and much more you'll remember... Time to get nostalgic and remember all those childhood memories!

I would certainly buy them, the chocolate biscuit bars available today all seem to be fairly similar - or at least the ones stocked by my local supermarkets are anyway. Fingers crossed then.

Many think the biscuits connection with Manchester United football club was why sales dropped. Speculation I must stress. However retro is the buzz word so who knows.

A pity they got dropped. No chance of bringing them back I suppose - it would make a lot of people happy!

The biscuit moved to be produced at our Carlisle factory. Before being decommissioned. Hi all I can confirm that united bar was a product of McVitie’s produced at the

I've tried those Crunchie biscuits and they are very nice, not quite a United but the closest thing currently available I think. I remember the wrapper for Banjo, blue with yellow writing I think it was. I think they were a wafer biscuit, weren't they. Don't remember Trophy or Bandits though. Yes, you’re right Anne.

Cadbury's have brought out a Crunchie biscuit and they sell them in ASDA. They taste as near to a United as I can remember. Not as good but def reminds me of a United. I liked a banjo and a Trophy. Two fingers of wafery nutty bisuit. Anyone else remember Bandits? I loved United biscuits as well. Cadbury’s have brought out a Crunchie biscuit and they sell them in ASDA.
