 Penguin - Perfect when you’re P... P... P... P... P.... peckish!
McVitie’s most popular chocolate biscuit bar, Penguin, is now 75 years old. One of the first biscuits to be advertised by name rather than company, its association with the distinctive birds (the packaging featuring a giant Emperor Penguin) is synonymous with the brand’s appeal.
Penguin was first produced in 1932 by William McDonald, a biscuit manufacturer in Glasgow, and became a McVitie’s brand when McDonald joined with McVitie’s and Price, MacFarlane Lang & Co and Crawford to form United Biscuits in 1946.
As well as the poplar milk chocolate product, Penguin is also available in delicious orange and mint flavours within variety packs. The perfect treat for any lunchbox.
And now from the end of January 2008, McVitie's are adding a brand new variation to the range with the launch of Penguin Triple Chocolate Wafer Bar. A milk chocolate covered wafer bar filled with Penguin's much-loved chocolate cream.
The bars only contain 96 calories and contain no trans fats, artificial colours or flavours, so they should appeal to mums who want to give their kids a tasty, lighter treat, either as a lunchbox filler or to eat on the move.
