Peggy Babcock's Mixed Biscuits

The History of Peggy Babcock's

1800s - the family business begins

The Babcock family started producing biscuits in the 19th century in England. They were concerned about the child chimney sweeps that proliforated the soot cleaning industry of the Victorian era.

Just how could they do a proper job when they were fed mainly gruel?

The answer was access to affordable refined carbohydrates

The mixed biscuit price was taken out of the tiny sweeps' wages and insulin surges were born.

Peggy Babcock was born in Mayfair, London.

The family business had been gravely affected by The Chimney Sweeps Act of 1834 and despite the war ministry deal to supply biscuit crumbs to our brave Tommys, her family could only afford three gardeners for their garden. Life wasn't easy for Peggy growning up, but she studied hard and completed her A Levels in Chemistry, Physics and Home Economics.

1960s - expansion

With Peggy's enthusiasm for baked goodness and family values, she created her first board game - Bisckcccocicks's - Boliay soorable sliahs which was an instant hit with young and old alike.

The inaugral Bisckcccocicks World Championship Finals were held in Netherthong in 1968 with Giles Fetherstonehaugh raising the biscuit trophy aloft in front of a frenzied crowd by the bandstand.

Sadly in the riots that followed, the bandstand was razed to the ground when a roman candle toppled over, but the factory workers raised enough money for a commemorative plaque to be installed on the site where the band last played their version of Paint it Black as the flames licked the back of the painted stage.

Seeing the success of Busch Gardens in creating a theme around consumer spending, Peggy branched out into a theme park - Babcock's Biscuit Paradise

1970s - theme parks

Unfortunately due to the great Babcock legal file repository fire of 1981, no photographs exist of Babcock's Biscuit Paradise, but we do have some confiscated from trespassers in recent years. Here's a sample, enjoy!

Late 1970s - alligator parks

After Babcock's Biscuit Paradise was closed a few months after opening with no legal obligations to anyone whatsoever, Babcock's Biscuit Reptile Paradise followed on the same site shortly afterward.

Imagine a world of reptiles, refined sugars and lax health and safety laws and you will find yourself in 1970s Babbington (Bifurcate County, Florida).

Fun for all the family

Families came to Babcock's Biscuit Paradise in Babbington to pet the animals and eat biscuits handily located in the first aid tent

Do alligators like biscuits?

For just the cost of a small pony (or an actual pony!) mums would bring their little darlings closer to nature than they or the handlers would ever think possible.

Wholesome fun for all the family
