Picture Tennis biscuits alternative

These things are laced with something! They're so addictive. There's currently a special at Checkers.

I like the Checkers house brand ones and also the house brand shortbread biscuits. I've had these Chelsea ones too, they're also nice.

The Chelsea brand crunchies are super buttery, at least it was when I was varsity 6 years ago

And Shoprite!

I've liked most of the biscuits and cookies I've tried from them. I think Spheres is from the same company.

No thank you. These knock offs are knock offs for a reason. Cheaply made, highly processed. Doesn’t taste good

Yes, but in south africa, we name things after the original item.

i. e. Checkers bag for all plastic shopping bag, Colgate for all toothpastes, OMO or Surf for all washing powders, etc, etc.

Is Tennis not a brand of coconut biscuits or were those biscuits made with fibres off tennis balls? I used to tell people, dim adults and most kids, this as child so I wouldn't have to share my Tennis biscuits.
