The 10 second dunk test! There's a challenge..

Bourbons, Hobnobs and Digestives. The reason? You only need one cup of tea to do a whole packet of biscuits.
(Un)Fortunately those days (tea breaks) are long gone. 🫖🍪

I was at university with a bloke who used to dunk a Mars bar and then suck the tea off it

He has been a chaplin at a school for a long time now - probably to attone for the above!

Sainsbo's choc chip Digestives. Dead thin so you don't feel quite as bad and choc. Obvs. And there's loads in the packet.

From sucking the chocolate off mars bars to school chaplain...

I've heard that you can use a Cadbury's Finger as a straw to suck tea through.
Not for very long, though, because it collapses.

Rich tea, in tea.

Hobnobs are the most overrated biscuit. Don't @ me.

I fear for the children under his care!!!

A typical Spanish breakfast consists of churros freshly fried donuts and thick hot chocholate in which both are ruined by dunking.

There was a girl at my university famous for the suggestive way she ate Mars bars.

For shop-bought biscuits, it has to be the humble Rich Tea, dunked in tea. A digestive in coffee is also good but fraught with risk.

For a wider scope of "biscuit" then biscotti takes the biscuit. Dunkable in any medium for any length of time, good up-soak, great structural integrity and a decent mouthful too.

Are those the ones that you get with coffee in posh places??

they are good in black coffee (and all coffee should be black - that's just how it is!!)

They often are, yes. Assuming it's not Lotus Biscoffs or amaretti(ni) (neither of which are dunkable).

Nonsense. Those are for dunking in Vin Santo, not tea.

Oh, now you got me craving for some cantuccini biscuits...

Fisher, L. Physics takes the biscuit. Nature 397, 469 (1999).

...the Washburn equation, derived2 in 1921 to describe capillary flow in porous materials:

where t is the time for a liquid of viscosity η and surface tension γ to penetrate a distance Linto a fully wettable, porous material whose average pore diameter is D. The equation is strictly true only for capillary flow in a single cylindrical tube in the absence of gravitational effects, but can be extremely accurate for more complex materials, including, as I found experimentally, biscuits.
