Coming soon... an icon reimagined”

One theory circulating is the release of a vegan version of the bar, with one fan commenting, “Vegan PLEASE I’ve been praying for almost 10 years,” joking that it’s “not a want but a need”.

Others have suggested that a mix of the golden biscuit bar and McVitie’s famous chocolate digestives could become reality: “A gold bar coated digestive biscuit would be [mint]”.

A more critical voice said: “You’re going to make your bars even smaller?”

Few things get the British population going like a good biscuit announcement, so we’ll just have to wait and see what news the company is bringing for the first time in 35 years.
