REMEMBER THIS?


This came to our attention during FVR's time. No idea if it is still being produced. I do recall the great ruckus it raised during that time.

It that the NABISCO brand I see there? The promo edge of this packaging is in Spanish.

I checked Wickipedia and I saw this: Filipinos, in the plural, refers to cookies which are manufactured by Artiach and Nabisco in Spain. Nabisco sold out to United Biscuits Iberia which is owned by United Biscuits UK.

Egad!

Was it even sold here? I've heard about it but never seen one.

I heard about the story a few years ago. Never tasted nor saw one!
Are they still selling it?

I ate a bunch of Filipinos in southern Spain in 1998. I literally did a double take when I saw them on the shelves at the grocer. Tasty, but very weird. We felt vaguely cannibalistic. I just wish I had saved the wrappers.
