Jacobs Montego

In the same vein as the Club biscuit - complete with silver foil and white paper wrapper. It was a moulded milk chocolate-covered ginger-nut type biscuit. It was sold as a five-pack, and the wrapper had a glorious ‘sunset’ design on it. It was introduced in 1978, and was popular in the early 80s too until it was discontinued. After the Montego came the chocolately Trio. Makes me hungry just thinking about it! (Yum!)
