Dozens of islanders have been sharing their biscuit-based nightmares on social media, following an impassioned tale of disappointment from a Facebook user.
Sean Oz took to Facebook group ‘Jersey Ask! Advise! Advertise!’ on Monday to recount the ordeal with a Club Bar that had left such a mark on him.
“This evening my snack of choice was indeed the mint version of the aforementioned snack, imagine my surprise as I bit into my tasty treat and discovered that there was no actual 'biscuit' in the Club, it comprised of a thin layer of mint cream surrounded in thick chocolate, for all intent and purpose it was a relatively normal club biscuit minus the 'biscuit'," he recalled.
Sean's predicament was met with a response of 100 comments, with some calling for “compensation” and others relating their own crumbly tales of woe.

Among the stories regaled below the post was Carl Lewis’ tale of “heartbreak” wherein a Snickers bar turned out to be a Mars bar, Adrian Hadley’s crushing disappointment at a “Twix with no caramel”, and the haunting memory of a Wagon Wheel without a marshmallow centre that affected Zoe Sarah.
Others like Jon Scott chewed over the stories and offered their condolences, saying: “Well I've heard all sorts of tales of woe in recent months but that one really does take the biscuit!”
However, not all commenters were in agreement with Sean.
Jimmy Gray rallied in defence of the all-chocolate biscuit, name-checking “the nirvana of chocolate, the waferless Kit-Kat.”

Shev Fogarty added that having a biscuitless KitKat was “the best day of my young life.”
Sean told Express: “I shall be writing to McVitie in due course.
"It wasn't accidentally that I positioned the biscuitless morsel of confectionary next to the 'quality guarantee' portion of the wrapper [in the photo uploaded to Facebook].”
The fact he is not alone in his suffering is of some comfort to Sean, though, with the Club Bar muncher adding: "I was appeased that I was not the only person to suffer such misfortune."
