Well I don't know if reducing quantity whilst increasing price qualifies as value engineering? Maybe the shitty packaging is a cheaper material, but there's no indicating of the actual biscuits changing, and there's no presentation of additional function. (There is less function because they can't stand up any more! :@) Even if it does, I'm not sure dishonest euphemisms count as irony. `3.1415P265E589T932E846R64338`

Well the description fits, but it's a silly name. Also, the worst part of this all is the choice of a prime number, and not just that but probably the most annoying prime number too. :@ `3.1415P265E589T932E846R64338`

Chocolate Hobnobs come in packs of 23.

Also twin-packs that are 2x14.

But to make matters worse, this madness appears to have summoned the return of Rendle's favourite comedian. :|

There is a lot of chatter about him all of a sudden. He's going down the "supports a worthy cause" root and nobody knew except, gosh darn, how ever did the news slip out? The man's practically a saint. His hobnob links go back a while. Presumably whoever he got his material from, or whoever he pays to churn it out now, considers hobnobs an easy shorthand for crumbly biscuits. Annoying though.
