A history of the chocolate digestive
Celebrate a century of calorific deliciousness from the country's most popular biscuit, with hundreds of millions of McVitie's Chocolate Digestives being sold every year.
They were originally designed to have chocolate on the bottom, which is how the biscuits are made in the bakeries in London and Manchester. Billions of the biscuits have been sold in the UK in the biscuit's history.
Phillip Stoneman reports.
With over 80 million packets sold each year in the UK, more packets of McVitie’s Chocolate Digestives were sold last year than any other branded biscuit.
