Biscuit alert.. Always put the light on....

[PeteXXX]

I've just got in from a day out, feeling peckish, and rummaged about in the biscuit barrel...
I though I'd grabbed a couple of Custard Creams..

Turned out to be Bourbons


Must turn the light on and check next time!!

What a disappointment. I was expecting something like you put on the light to investigate what the 'almond bits' were and that you'd discovered that you'd bitten through a cockroach.

I don't see a problem - Bourbons trump Custard Creams

What were those vile lumps doing in a biscuit barrel? Put them back under the patio where they belong.

There's now't wrong with the Bourbon biscuit, but I can fully understand the disappointment and trauma the OP must have endured when biting into what he thought was creamy delight of the Custard Cream only to met with the slightly bitter but sweet taste of the chocolatey Bourbon. If it had been me I would have to go an have a lie down to recover.

Incidentally, Bourbons can only be eaten if accompanied by a cup of PG tips, I think it's written down somewhere in The Rules.

Both are disgusting - neither would be in my house.

Sounds like a massive WIN to me.

Custard creams are the most dangerous

An estimated 25 million adults have been injured while eating during a tea or coffee break - with at least 500 landing themselves in hospital, the survey revealed.

The custard cream biscuit was found to be the worse offender to innocent drinkers.

It beat the cookie to top a table of 15 generic types of biccy whose potential dangers were calculated by The Biscuit Injury Threat Evaluation.

Hidden dangers included flying fragments and being hurt while dunking in scalding tea through to the more strange such as people poking themselves in the eye with a biscuit or fallen off a chair reaching for the tin.

One man even ended up stuck in wet concrete after wading in to pick up a stray biscuit.

Custard creams get a risk rating of 5.63, the highest of all.

This compared to 1.16 for Jaffa cakes, which was the safest biscuit of all in the evaluation.

Research company Mindlab International were commissioned by Rocky, a chocolate biscuit bar, to conduct the research.

It found almost a third of adults said they had been splashed or scalded by hot drinks while dunking or trying to fish the remnants of a collapsed digestive.

It also revealed 28 per cent had choked on crumbs while one in 10 had broken a tooth or filling biting a biscuit.

More unusually, three per cent had poked themselves in the eye with a biscuit and seven per cent bitten by a pet or "other wild animal" trying to get their biscuit.

Mindlab International director Dr David Lewis said: "We tested the physical properties of 15 popular types of biscuits, along with aspects of their consumption such as 'dunkability' and crumb dispersal.

Mike Driver, Marketing Director for Rocky said: "We commissioned this study after learning how many biscuit related injuries are treated by doctors each year."

My Dad will recall the time he went to visit an elderly aunt who was very short sighted. She insisted on making dinner.

It was only later when he went to put something in the bin that he realised she had cooked dinner with a tin of Brandy dog food and not the tin of stewed steak that was also sitting on the worktop

At least it wasn't that vile biscuit with dead flies in.

I have to agree that custard creams are most dangerous. If a packet ever entered my shopping basket it would be lucky to make it home in one piece.
