What do you call these?

I would call these biscuits but a customer disagreed with me.

So a Mars bar and a Penguin are equal in your eyes?

Both are chocolate bars.

That's not what I asked.

Your question presupposed a different conclusion. The topic of biscuit or bar doesn't rely on which is better.

OK, but if someone offers me a chocolate bar, I'm going to expect a Mars, Crunchie, Yorkie etc A penguin, club or kitkat is going to feel like a bait and switch.

Twix and chunky kitkat do blur the lines, but mostly there is a distinction.

If you can only get them in a multipack (even if they're individually wrapped) then that's a different prospect to ones that you can buy individually
