So this is what they replaced the jelly star with in Afternoon Tea
We didn't want to believe the news but it's true.
Jacobs have confirmed they are not including the Best Christmas Biscuit Ever in the Afternoon Tea selection this year.
And it has been replaced with this poor imitation - something called 'the Chocolate Wheel'.

@Jacobs_IRL I hope you're joking about getting rid of the jelly star biscuit! It's the only reason for getting the tin!

@Jacobs_IRL please give us back the jelly star from the afternoon tea that's THE ONLY REASON I buy them

It better just be a (clever but cynical) marketing ploy to increase demand or else we're boycotting all their biscuits. Probably. Unless there's nothing else around to go with our tea and then just one. Okay, fine, two.
But that's definitely it until the jelly star is reinstated.
