Answer 1

Pirouline

Pirouline is a brand of rolled sweet wafer biscuit, sold by the DeBeukelaer Corporation in the United States.

The DeBeukelaer family started making biscuits in Belgium in 1860. Peter DeBeukelaer, a descendant of the original founders in Belgium, founded the DeBeukelaer Corporation in 1984, when he established a cookie factory in Madison, Mississippi.

BAKING ROOTS

Pirouline made its debut in 1984. A hollow rolled European style wafer with a trademark helical swirl, it was lined with chocolate.

In 1987, the biscuit was filled with a chocolate hazelnut creme filling. Over the years, there have been many flavors of creme - French vanilla, strawberry, pumpkin spice, dulce de leche, and lemon.

The most popular Pirouline is a rolled toasted wafer lined with dark chocolate. The other variety, called "Creme de Pirouline," has the rolled wafer lined with a cream filling rather than chocolate (which comes in chocolate hazelnut, French vanilla, and double chocolate varieties).

Originally sold in a 14 oz tin, the chocolate lined biscuits are always sold in boxes, while the cream-filled are sold in cans.

Answer 3

Plasmon biscuit

Plasmon biscuits are a biscuit containing plasmon, a proprietary dried milk. The manufacturers claimed that 3 pounds of plasmon made 100 pints of milk. Plasmon was manufactured by the International Plasmon Company and was added to a number of different products to make Plasmon Oats, Plasmon Cocoa and Plasmon Biscuits. Plasmon biscuits are still manufactured in Italy by the H. J. Heinz Company.

Plasmon biscuits were popular around the turn of the 20th century and were considered a health food. They were used by Ernest Shackleton in his Antarctic Expedition of 1902. On Christmas Day he wrote "Had a hot lunch. I was cook: - Bovril, chocolate and plasmon biscuit, two spoonfuls of jam each. Grand!". A variety of plasmon biscuit, said to be like digestives, was also made by Jacob's in 1915.

Victor Whitechurch's fictional vegetarian detective Thorpe Hazell ate them daily. The journal of actress Ellen Terry records that George Bernard Shaw "generally dined off a plasmon biscuit and a bean!". George Strachey Fawle (1856–1936), a director of the company, said he attributed his recovery from serious illness to plasmon.

Samuel L. Clemens (Mark Twain) was an investor in the company and also promoted Plasmon's health benefits. He ate it daily himself, induced various members of his family to take it in its more palatable forms and kept the reading table by his bed well stocked with a variety of the products, inviting callers to try a sample. J.Y.M. MacAlister, another investor in the company, and Clemens are credited by Clemens' biographer (Albert Paine) with convincing the Medical Director-General of the British Army to adopt plasmon as a food for convalescent soldiers during the Second Boer War.

Plasmon itself was a powder, milk albumen, which could be mixed into various other foods to make it palatable. In a letter to William Dean Howells Clemens advised: "Yes--take it as a medicine--there is nothing better, nothing surer of desired results. If you wish to be elaborate--which isn't necessary--put a couple of heaping teaspoonfuls of the powder in an inch of milk & stir until it is a paste; put in some more milk and stir the paste to a thin gruel; then fill up the glass and drink. Or, stir it into your soup. Or, into your oatmeal. Or, use any method you like, so's you get it down--that is the only essential."

Answer 4

Quely

Quely is a family-run company founded in Majorca, Spain, in 1853, that manufactures biscuits, baked goods, and chocolate-coated products.

Quely biscuits date back to the 18th century to sailing companies who required food that could be stored for long periods of time. The oven in Can Guixe that produced these biscuits in the 19th century can still been seen in Inca today.

Jaime Doménech Borrás purchased land in 1934 to construct the first factory building, but production was delayed by the outbreak of the Spanish Civil War in 1936. It was 1940 before he was able to order all the necessary equipment. World War II caused further challenges, with the stonework oven being constructed during the war. After the death of Doménech in 1947, his sons, Jaime and Gabriel, completed his work, with the factory going into production in the following decade. Under the name "Quely" (the original choice of "Cor de Mallorca" unavailable due to then legal challenges), the biscuits became successful in the Mallorcan market during the 1960s.

In 1970, it became a public limited company as Quely, S.A. Since then, the company has modernized and expanded, with the entire factory being rebuilt after a fire in 1993 destroyed the building, machinery, and installations. Today, the company is still entirely Mallorcan and run by the family.

As of January 2010, native Mallorcan tennis star, Rafael Nadal became the international ambassador for Quely.

Answer 5

Tim Tam

Tim Tam

Tim Tam is a brand of chocolate biscuit made by Arnott's. It consists of two malted biscuits separated by a light chocolate cream filling and coated in a thin layer of textured chocolate.

The biscuit was created by Ian Norris, who was the director of food technology at Arnott's. During 1958, he took a world trip looking for inspiration for new products. While in Britain, he found the Penguin biscuit and decided to "make a better one".

Tim Tams went on to the market in 1964. They were named by Ross Arnott, who attended the 1958 Kentucky Derby and decided that the name of the winning horse, Tim Tam was perfect for a planned new line of biscuits.

Apart from Penguins, products similar to Tim Tams include "Temptins" from Dick Smith Foods, New Zealand's "Chit Chats", Australian Woolworths' home brand product "Triple Choc", the Coles brand "Chocolate Supreme" biscuits, and various similar "home-brand" products marketed by British supermarkets.

In 2003, Arnott's sued Dick Smith Foods over their Temptin' brand of chocolate biscuits, which Arnott's alleged had diluted their trademark as a similar biscuit, in similarly-designed packaging. The case was settled out of court.

Pepperidge Farm, a sister company of Arnott's, began importing the Tim Tam to the United States of America in 2008. The Tim Tams are still "Made in Australia" and packaging in the United States bears the slogan "Australia's Favorite Cookie."

The Tim Tam Slam (also known as the Tim Tam Shotgun, Tim Tam Bomb, Tim Tam Explosion and Tim Tam Suck) is the practice of drinking a hot beverage through a Tim Tam. Opposite corners of the Tim Tam are bitten off, one end is submerged in the beverage, and the beverage sucked through the biscuit - as though the Tim Tam itself is a straw. The crisp interior biscuit is eventually softened and the outer chocolate coating begins to melt, at which point the biscuit is eaten. The Tim Tam Slam can also be performed with cold (usually milk-based) beverages.

The Arnott's company used the name Tim Tam Suck in a 2002 advertising campaign.

The original Arnott's bakery, opened in 1865, was located in Newcastle, New South Wales. To date, manufacture of Tim Tams and other Arnott's products has remained largely within Australia, including bakeries in Sydney, Adelaide, and Brisbane. In 2009, Arnott's invested 37 million Australian dollars in a state-of-the-art production line at its Brisbane facility, expecting to boost productivity and increase jobs.

Answer 6

Tiny Teddy

Tiny Teddy is a brand of sweet biscuits manufactured by Arnott's in Australia, since 1991.

The Tiny Teddy is the offspring of the Teddy Bear Biscuit.

Scott Dewar, the son of biscuit designer Robert Dewar is credited with the concept of shrinking the normal "Teddy Bear Biscuit" to a bite sized and cute "Tiny Teddy". 10 years after his creation he died due to choking on a bite-size piece of stale toast.

Each biscuit is small and teddy bear-shaped, and variations in facial expression have been given the names Happy, Sleepy, Grumpy, Cheeky, Silly and Hungry. They are similar in appearance to the North American Teddy Grahams.

Tiny Teddy biscuits are available in seven flavours:

Also available are three "Tiny Teddy Creams" varieties, two larger tiny teddies joined with a cream filling, in double chocolate, vanilla and strawberry flavours; and "Tiny Teddy Dippers", a lunchbox portion of a handful of tiny teddies and a dipping sauce of chocolate, strawberry or chocolate-hazelnut flavouring.

In 2004 Arnott's released a range of savoury Tiny Teddy biscuits, but these weren't successful and were shortly discontinued.

In 2006 Arnott's authorised the release of four story books, aimed at pre-school aged children, published as the 'Arnott's Tiny Teddy Adventure Stories'.

In Indonesia, Tiny Teddy are sold as Nyam-Nyam Teddy or Good Time Teddy.

The product was first produced in the United Kingdom in 1967, and introduced in the United States in 1979. Twix was called Raider in mainland Europe for many years before its name was changed in 1991 (2000 in Denmark, Finland, Norway, Sweden and Turkey) to match the international brand name. The name Twix is a portmanteau of twin biscuits, or 'twin bix'.

Answer 10

Vienna Fingers

Vienna Fingers is a brand of cookie made by the Keebler Company, a division of Kellogg's. They consist of a sandwich of vanilla flavored outer crust filled with vanilla cream flavored filling. Akin to an Oreo, the surface is textured and embossed with the product name, but Vienna Fingers have a round-ended 'finger' shape. They come in a red and yellow accented rectangular package with the words "Vienna Fingers" in white lettering. Nabisco's Cameo is similar.

Vienna Fingers were one of the products originally sold by Sunshine Biscuits. The cookies first were marketed by Sunshine Biscuits in 1915 and trademarked as "Vienna Fingers Sandwich" in November 1947. The popularity of the Vienna Fingers cookies was memorialized by American playwright and screenwriter Neil Simon in his 1965 play The Odd Couple, which was adapted into a 1968 comedy film. In the play, Oscar Madison attempts to distract a depressed Felix Ungar with snack food: "How about vanilla wafers? Or Vienna fingers? I got everything."

In January 1985, the product was renamed "Vienna Fingers". At the Food Marketing Institute's 1994 Supermarket convention, both low-fat Hydrox cookies and reduced-fat Vienna Fingers were introduced by Sunshine Biscuits.

In late August 1994, Sunshine Biscuits donated over 21,000 Vienna Fingers and Hydrox cookies to a contingent of American troops from Fort Eustis Army Base. The company's action was a follow up to a similar Sunshine shipment sent to troops during the 1990–1991 Gulf War and a soldier's scrawled response note on an Oreo box, "Please deploy cookies." In the company's words, "the donation of these cookie favorites will give the troops a taste of home and make their time away from their families a little more pleasant." The Vienna Fingers and Hydrox cookies were brought with the troops to the refugee-filled border area between Rwanda and Zaire.
