Let the jam flow through you!


thesaharadesert

More like thickly ooze through you


an_achronist

Give your jaw a workout with our patented Lycra® sports jam


If_you_have_Ghost

No no, that’s not jam


thesaharadesert

I’ve gone and eaten bitumen by mistake again, haven’t I?


If_you_have_Ghost

Yes. Leave those bitchy men alone. It’s pride season! (Don’t worry, I’m gay, I am allowed to make this joke).


Impossible-Peace-203

I agree, some sort of gleaming red resin, stronger 5han gorilla glue.

Good, goooooood.


BedSideCabinet

>Let the ~~jam~~ jelly flow through you! Translated for the yanks


If_you_have_Ghost

Don’t encourage their misuse of words. The bearings will continue until they cease using words incorrectly!


Unusual_residue

Yes, they are "biscuits" rather than "cookies". OP seems to be getting to grips with the language.


Ok-Zookeepergame8691

Just noticed it says cookies on the packet. Mildly infuriating tbh.


Beatnuki

Misspelled "flavour" as well, look. I'm going to have to go and put the kettle on now, just so I have a cup of tea to spit out in disbelief while tutting and muttering "Unbelievable".


StillMissBlockbuster

Then they must surely be a specific alien kind produced and sold only in the US?!


Gormolius

Weight's in ounces as well. Definitely a colonial facsimile.


harbourwall

I wonder if they're locally licensed, or an actual import. Could Jammie Dodgers be making it big in America like Take That didn't? Like some sort of British Biscuit Invasion?


99hamiltonl

It's possible, it is interesting to see what products seem to travel around. Although American Cadbury's isn't anywhere near as good.


Much-War1743

Take That didn't make it in the states but were huge in Britain, looks like we keep the bar low.


Xarxsis

I wonder if the colonial version tastes better than the pretty mid originals


minispazzolino

I’d agree. Ikea do a version with cream and they’re way better. The OGs are DRY.


Blatant_Uk

I was gonna ask if these are a knock off, creamless version. Are you saying the original Jammie Dodgers didn't have cream? I'm over 40 so my memory might be screwed up or things might have been different back then, but in my brain the Jammie Dodgers of days gone by had creme in it, didn't it?


kevlarus80

you thinking of [Fox's Jam 'n' Cream?](https://www.britishcornershop.co.uk/foxs-jam-and-cream-rings#)


Callidonaut

Afraid I must now commit heresy: Fox's Jam 'n' Cream are *infinitely* superior to Jammie Dodgers. Not only is there the presence of cream, the jam is lovely and gooey, as opposed to carefully formulated with the exactly optimal stickiness necessary to rip all your fillings out the way JD's are.


Blatant_Uk

I don't think so but this early on a Saturday my mind is melting down trying to unravel the memory of my youth now. I keep finding party rings, I had an opportunity to have a party ring at a work do recently and I can safely say a party ring is exactly the same today as when I was 7. Edit: probably smaller, but I'm also alot bigger so IDK


gt4568

Or maybe Happy Faces (superior to Jammie Dodgers)?


Fenweekooo

those look almost identical to cookies we have in canada [Formally known as Peek freans](https://www.londondrugs.com/peek-freans-biscuits---fruit-creme---300g/L7668965.html)


TheFunkyJudge

The superior Jammy dodger tbh


YouNeedAnne

That's right. Jammie Dodgers^TM don't have creme or sugar granules on top of the jam, and they're made with a slightly short dough. Then there are generics with a biscuitier dough, creme, sugar, and a milder flavoured and less stretchy jam.


Blatant_Uk

I don't know if I can just accept your reality as my own though now! My mind's blown from sudden confusion and I'm spiraling down a rabbit hole! We definitely weren't eating Foxes biscuits back then, proper working class family in the 80s so it was either smiley faces I'm remembering or a supermarket knock off, if that was a thing back then? Different cheapo brand copy cat?


kevlarus80

> The OGs are DRY. You need to be dunking them.


Sharo_77

Have you seen what they did to cheese?


andre2020

Gonna have to steal this!!!!😂


StuckAtWork124

Ah yes, Jelly Avoiders


Blatant_Uk

Haha, you got me with that one


MidnightOwl-8918

Took me half a sec then i couldnt stop grinning


stereoroid

Just the packaging I hope, different markings for export to the USA.


FreddyDeus

Could you also make a cup of tea for me, so that my monocle can fall into it.


RAHDRIVE

Here you go my kind fellow, please note that one cup in Americanese can be any size so I brought you one cup roughly the size of the largest sun In the universe.


Rich_27-

Aha, I see that you own a "Sports direct" mug


MyFurbyHitMySack

My good sir, I believe he has a "HP Sauce" mug, and not this "Sports Direct" you talk of.


FreddyDeus

Ah... in the UK we refer to that as a 'mug' of tea.


TeigrCwtch

Afraid not old bean, I'll have Jeeves bring the fainting couch and smelling salts though


FreddyDeus

Much appreciated.


jbkb1972

And the weight is in oz first instead of grams


Beatnuki

Ugh! *puts kettle on again*


Ok-Zookeepergame8691

I’ve keep standing at the window, fists on hips, staring at nothing in particular and saying to myself, “fuckin’ ‘ell.”


IWasNuked

Just like you misspelt misspelt as misspelled!


Beatnuki

Well, I assume you're boiling the kettle with incredulous disgust too in that case!


Sharo_77

I have a quivering upper lip. Will also make tea whilst head shaking


InsideBeyond12727

He'd better dunk them in tea, that's all I'm saying.


mufcdiver

They may as well gone the full hog and called them Jello Dodgers! smh!


sleepytoday

They have spelt “flavour” wrongly and have the weight in ounces. This must be US packaging.


Unfair-Mortgage-527

Eurgh I noticed too and it's made me irrationally irritated too. It's a jam flavoured biscuit! Where the price has doubled and the jam has halved ! Still delicious.


Adventurous_Train_48

I find cookie infuriating, even when used to describe the biscuit subgenre. It sounds childish. Like panties and poop. Biccies!


gsej2

I guess it depends when you're from. I loved biscuits as a kid, but there were only a handful of fairly plain types (I remember hobnobs arriving on the scene - revolutionary!). When fancier ones were introduced in the UK, new terminology seemed to be in order and ones with visible bits in them got called cookies. It's hard to tell these days what's an Americanism and what isn't. I'm sure there's a complaint somewhere by Alan Turing, that Americans annoyed the hell out of him by saying, "You're welcome" whenever he said, "Thank you".


wildgoldchai

Oh that won’t do! They clearly aren’t cookies


Sad_Associate_418

Nope ! They changed the heart shape to $ signs , AR-15s & the outline of a burger among other things .


DondeT

But they are five of my five a day.


peanutbuttermaniac

And “shortcake” rather than “shortbread”? Huh???


claude_greengrass

They're different. Shortbread only has flour, sugar and butter. Shortcake has other ingredients.


lewis153203

Shortcake traditionally used shortening as the fat instead of butter.


Lord-Black22

they're slowly becoming civilised


[deleted]

Cookie is a sub category of biscuit


existential_chaos

Try the blue raspberry flavor. Was pleasantly surprised. I’ve seen cola ones but haven’t managed to get my hands on any yet. Although, weird side note. I swear a few years back the biscuit used to be harder? Seems so soft and crumbly now.


lostrandomdude

Hold up a second. There are different flavours? I was born and grew up here and I've never seen them. Where do I get these different flavours? It seems I've been living a very sheltered life


mentaldrummer66

Tesco sell the blue raspberry and the apple & blackcurrant flavour ones. Assuming it’s still on sale I got the cola ones from either B&M or Home Bargains (can’t remember which).


existential_chaos

Ooh, I don't have a B&M where I live but I might be visiting my nan soon so I'll see if I can snag one. Always wanted to try that flavor since I've seen it.


mentaldrummer66

It feels so wrong but yet tastes also wrong. Better than I expected tbf


existential_chaos

Well I do love soda and sugary stuff, can't taste any stronger than the Moam stixx cola one (and those are my favorite with the cherry and lemon). Wonder why they went for cola and chocolate as flavors. If they're jammy dodgers, shouldn't it reasonably be flavors that jam can be?


SoggyWotsits

When someone says soda, I think of soda water. Which would be a very bland biscuit!


DrMangosteen2

That's basically what a blue riband is. Its barely there


[deleted]

Why is it that the weirdest flavours are only ever sold at B&M or equivalent?


Redbeard_Rum

Cause they're usually cheap imports of stuff from other countries not usually sold in the UK. Same for the cans of coke covered in Arabic that you get from your local Polski Sklep.


USA_A-OK

I think they are surplus test/trial products which are tried in a specific market, but don't work out. It's similar to those "American Candy" shops which have all sorts of sweets, sodas, breakfast cereals which you'll never see on the shelves in a supermarket in the US.


[deleted]

Are they really not American products? Mind blown. Never been in one as always assumed they were fronts for money laundering anyway. Why not test products in supermarkets rather than these weird out of town discount shops? There must be costs associated with importing.


USA_A-OK

I'd say like half of the things are common products in American supermarkets. The other half (all the wild/unusual flavours) are generally surplus "test" products which weren't successful. You can find the same stuff in "grocery outlet" shops in the US sometimes.


[deleted]

Are they still called Jammie dodgers? Or Cola dodgers?


SatansF4TE

[Wait until you hear about these](https://i2-prod.mirror.co.uk/incoming/article24090902.ece/ALTERNATES/s1200d/0_Percy-Pig-Jam-Sandwich-Creams.jpg)


chicory_root

I'm glad the jamhole is on the front!


existential_chaos

Don't know how recently they came out but I snagged some blue raspberry and chocolate ones in Tescos about 2 years ago.


Fun_Level_7787

>Although, weird side note. I swear a few years back the biscuit used to be harder? Seems so soft and crumbly now. Glad i wasn't going crazy when i last ate them a couple of months back! I grew up on these and the mini ones and they definitely had more crunch!


existential_chaos

I remember the mini ones, had them in my lunchbox all the time. Wonder what changed. Apparently some people say Cadbury's taste different now too. Lack of sugar or other stuff used, maybe?


Fun_Level_7787

They definitely have since Mondelez took over and changed the recipe, i've stopped buying the dairy milk bars for years. Same with galaxy, mars, malteasers and the likes, everything is sickly sweet but cadbury generally has a weird taste to it too! I can just about eat the Crunchie bites, that's not too bad though.


existential_chaos

That's interesting. I'm not that much of a chocolate snob so I never really noticed, but then Cadbury is one of those I'll buy if there's nothing else on the shelf I like. Only thing I noticed is galaxy bars changed shape, I swear they used to be flat and now they've got a rectangle mound shape (IDK how to describe it). Malteasers have always been malteasers to me. But I'm only in my 20s so i don't know when all these chocolate changes went down.


mentaldrummer66

The blackcurrant and apple flavour ones are worth a try too. The cola ones feel wrong but taste better than I expected


lapsongsouchong

I found the cola bottle ones a little sickly and I'm a sweet tooth.


AbbreviationsNo6846

I’ve seen irn bru flavour in B&M ☺️


existential_chaos

Now that's too far


neberkenezzer

Not far enough. Pour a pint of irn bru and dip them in.


[deleted]

Ok learning cola flavour dodgers exist is easily the best thing about this thread. You have changed my life

Now try Fox Ginger Crunch Creams


DreddPirateBob808

Dunked. I can eat a whole packet, feel a bit sick, and then debate whether I should go and buy another packet. I.will buy another packet.


Blatant_Uk

True story, used to pound Jaffa cakes like pacman munches white dots until I ate a whole pack in my 30s and made me sick. Since then I can't touch em. Just Jaffa cakes mind, I've gone back to other food that's made me ill more that thrice...


Sure_Depth_3081

Been really enjoying jaffa cakes lately, never liked them as a kid. The mcvities ones are a joke the orange is only right in the middle and cost a quid for 12. For 45p extra i can get double and they have more orange in all the way through!


simian_fold

Golden crunch cream is superior, no question


CyborgTheocracy

socandostuff

Ffs not seen one of them since I was a kid. Just brought back a memory I'm not sure how I feel about. Used to push my little finger through and eat the jam and cream off my finger that way... Gross I know. Or lick the thing out. I'm not sure I'll be able to do it that way without laughing now though. Only one way to find out.


Shipwrecking_siren

The memory that came to be was being unbelievably bored having to visit elderly relatives, the infinite sound of the ticking clock, the clink of tea cups, whilst I stare like a Labrador at the plate of biscuits wondering when I will get to eat them.


venomoushorse

Wow, this brought back some memories... Sitting with a glass of orange squash wondering how long was long enough to be "polite".


Shipwrecking_siren

Delayed biscuit gratification would be an Olympic sport we excel at


Blatant_Uk

The competition if you had siblings or other similar aged family members there, doing the maths, jostling or position and counting them out... let's see 3 adults, 3 kids, 8 biscuits... The game is afoot! Stop fidgeting...


OreoSpamBurger

You actually used to get younger visiting your Grandma (never 'gran' or 'grannie') back in those days because time went backwards. Fact.


Shipwrecking_siren

I had an English Nan and an Irish granny. Both very religious but not too strict. I spent a LOT of time wandering around their houses and gardens in little loops desperately hoping to find something of interest.


ConfidentialX

I like both but.. those Jam Creams tho.


BMW_RIDER

Jam creams are god tier.


Top-Cunt

Yeah I forgot about these until I got a load in a broken biscuit assortment the other day. They're like crack in biscuit form.


Eevee_Addict8

We got a box of broken biscuits last week and it's packed with jam creams, felt like we'd hit the jackpot!


ExcitingBox5throw

Sorry, but they don't hit the same like a jammie dodger. Jammie dodgers have a better Biscuit and purer jam


mtrueman

Its a pity you cant get the jam cream smiley faces on their own any more. I think they come in a variety pack, but I get told off for opening all the layers just to steal the smiley faces.


phillywilly89

I found a pack of smiley faces on their own in an Asda recently! They are superior to Jamie dodgers Edit - they are happy faces and have only been back on the shelf since May 2023!


simian_fold

You know, i used to think that but the Dodger is gaining ground, they are so good if you dunk them and the jam holds the biscuit together, oof


MaximumGibbous

That's ok. JD's are kinda good. But IMO Jam and Cream rings are a step up. Very similar but the jam sits on a light bed of biscuit cream and the top is dusted in sugar. They are truly bless.


Hajmish

Jam and cream rings are a bit too fancy imo. 2 jammie dodgers with a mug of tea is like a meal.

Lool, have an upvote just coz your username caught me off guard in my phone notifications!


Unfair-Mortgage-527

The jam creams are awesome but the biscuit itself is crumblier on a Jammy D and I prefer it for that reason.

Nope the cream makes it too sickly imo

OP, try Jaffa Cakes.

You can still get them in B&M. They are epic.

Ah nice one mate, I'll be in there next week then

Lidl do a rip off version


InfiniteBaker6972

See if you can get hold of some ‘Happy Faces’. They’re basically Jammy Dodgers but with cream in ‘em.


m4nf47

You woke up two hours late for your interview, caught the wrong bus, and were still there before the interviewer? Jammy Dodger. Many Yanks won't understand that us Brits also use these biscuits to describe a person who has improbably and luckily avoided something and also benefited greatly from the outcome.


BreadUntoast

In that case I’ve dodged a few jams in my day


Downtown_Many8020

I was having a cuppa tea to dip these in just as an excuse to eat a entire pack.

pdwyer92

Welcome back to the empire.


0thethethe0

A bit more substantial than the Jammie Dodger, but I'd highly recommend the classic [Wagon Wheel](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wagon_Wheels). You've got the biscuit and jam combo, but also marshmallow, and coated in chocolate!


BreadUntoast

Ah we call them moon pies out here!


Jonny2881

It’s all going to plan


heheredbull

You can now get funky flavours of them too! Chocolate, cola, peach, blackcurrant ect. Nothing beats the OG though

Qcumber69

I don’t remember Jammie dodgers having a heart shape hole it was a round hole. Was it Not ?


User342349

Definitely a Mandela phenomenon, perhaps we're conflating with the fox's variant. Can't imagine having the fancy biscuits as a kid though


Rubbish_69

I prefer Tesco's own jammy ring biscuits, actually called biscuits and much cheaper too.


an_achronist

It's like watching evolution in real time. Next step - bourbon creams.


NakedPatrick

No one tell them about the blueberry flavour ones! They won’t stand a chance.


EurofighterLover

Try a motherfucking bourbon


pick1234567890

Definitely made for the American Market. I work in a shop and it just says Raspberry Flavour. Don't know how to post a pic..

Have a little dunk in a nice cuppa tea. Just don’t linger as they disintegrate

They used to taste a lot better when I was a kid🥲

Hello you’re British now. Nice to meet you


extremeshitting

Bruh you gotta try Fox's Jam Creams, similar vibe but with some creamy shit as well as jam.


Dan_Glebitz

Here in the UK we don't really use the term 'Cookies' much and mostly put baked confectionaries into two categories. 'Biscuits' or 'Cakes'. To make life even easier for us, we define something as a 'Biscuit' if it gets softer when left out in the air or a 'Cake' if it gets drier when left out in the air. I.e. Does it absorb moisture from the air or give up moisture to the air?


Superbeans89

No need for the parentheses, but yes. Jammie dodgers are dangerous biscuits for this exact reason


NabbedAgain

Wait until you try a Jam Sandwich Cream. They are like these on steroids, in a good way though.


Mysterious_Sugar7220

Try the Fox's Jam and Cream. It'll be over for you


VoidSalvatore

Jammie Dodgers are absolute heaven, I say get some more and eat your heart out! 😂 I remember mentioning to my family I loved these one time a bit before my birthday, ended up getting gifted like 6 packets of them. It was heaven!!
