Kimberley Biscuits
Kimberley the legendary biscuit of the Emerald Isle is baked by Jacob's and holds high importance to Irish culture by the affection in which it is held.

Below is the classic Jacob's ad "Kimberly, Mikado and Coconut Cream, someone you love, would love some Mum!" followed by the bizarre contemporary music video advert for the same three biscuits.
Mag: " I'll have a Kimberley so, although I don't like Kimberleys. I don't know why you get Kimberleys at all. Kimberleys are horrible." (p. 23)

Biscuit review via nice cup of tea...The Mikado is classically associated with children's birthday parties, where it provides a staple source of marshmallow and jam. I always have reservations about the use of coconut in biscuits which seems more of a nod towards dietary fiber content rather than flavour, however, in the Mikado the tartness of the simulated raspberry jam (its actually apple), keeps the coconut at bay. The biscuit base is quite soft, with a crunch nowhere to be found. It does manage to sport some grid like biscuit graphics, so it does appear to have some sort of mechanical properties. The pink marshmallow is arranged in two rows, five blobs in each. The jam provides us with a mystery which is quite difficult to see in our picture, but biscuit carries three blobs but arranged in a four blob central row with the second blob missing. Did our biscuits come from a faulty batch? Is this a cost cutting measure or is this deliberate?
Pato: " I can't see why the Kinberley people go making them at all. Coleman Connor ate a whole pack of Kinberleys one time and he was sick for a week. (Pause) Or was it Mikados? It was some kind of horrible biscuit." (p.28-29)

Wagon Wheels
Another type of cookie sold in the U.K. and Ireland, manufactured by Burton’s (not Jacob’s); this one’s marshmallow coated by chocolate, though apparently they come in other flavors.

Jaffa Cakes
…It’s another type of cookie of British origin; Wiki says the leading brand is McVitie’s. A little bit of cake with orange marmalade and chocolate on top.
