Yesterday I bought some McVitie's Hob-Nobs from a Mini-Stop. Never in all my born days did I ever think such a thing would happen... I am currently dunking one into a cup of Yorkshire Gold (sent from home). (the teabags, that is - not the cup of tea. It'd get spillt, obviously.)

They had Chocolate Digestives too.

It's a biscuit. (or a 'cookie', for you North American types)

I have seen tonic water for many years (at least 3 or 4).

Digestives is the equivalent, so I am told, of graham's crackers.

A kind of cookie in Canada we call a "digestive cookie". It's a kind of round flat dry oak cookie.

Does it aid in digestion or have any kind of laxative properties? Confused

Wiki:

Quote:
The graham cracker was developed in 1822 in Bound Brook, New Jersey, by Presbyterian minister Rev. Sylvester Graham. Conceived of as a "health food", it is more like a digestive biscuit than a cracker. The true graham cracker is made with graham flour, which is unsifted and coarsely ground wheat flour. He used this due to its high fiber content.

Sorry, dry oat. My backlight on my laptop monitor is shot. Grrrr. I need to shine a desk lamp right on my screen and I only manage to see part of it.

First up, for you hippies with clean side, we have patchouli soap. Price, if you can't make it out, 18,000 won. Yeah. Holy crap expensive.

Last up (and I debated putting this in my "you want me to put that in my mouth" thread) we have instant mashed potatoes:





About 600 won. Add a cup of hot water. Mix. I add a couple dashes of montreal steak spice. Really not so bad. About 170 calories. Grab a cup of this add some instant jajjang myun sauce and a turkey leg and you've got an instant thanks giving dinner.
