There's many debates that go on when it comes to biscuits, often with no genuine conclusion being made.
One thing is for certain, however, Rich Tea can get to fuck. Especially when it comes to brews. Dip them in and you'll have half a biscuit swimming in your tea.
Rich Tea are made by McVitie's, and are a small smear on an otherwise emphatic array of products. McVitie's is a stalwart of the confectionery world, maybe even the king of it, giving us the likes of Hobnobs, Chocolate Digestives, Jaffa Cakes, Gold Bars, Penguins, BNs, Clubs, Iced Gems and much more.

But something has been pondering the minds of the average biscuit eater lately. When it comes to chocolate digestives, or indeed chocolate Hobnob, which way is up?
It seems that many people have simply assumed that the chocolate side of the biccie is the top, whereas others weren't so sure.
I mean, it's a meaningless debate, but one that can get very serious. I'm talking a full packet of biscuits being bounced off someone's head because they think chocolate is on the bottom.

It's not until you realise that because of the cylindrical packaging, there's no telling which is the top and bottom of the packet, meaning that there's no definitive answer here.
However because everyone is so obsessed with knowing who's right and who's wrong, McVitie's answered the question. Be warned, this may sting...
Someone posted a picture on their official Facebook page, asking which Hobnob was the right way up, to which they got a reply saying: "Hi, our Hobnobs go through a reservoir of chocolate, so it's on the bottom! Thanks, McVitie's."
Are you taking the fucking piss?
It's fair to say some people were flabbergasted by the new findings, thinking that everything they live for has gone.

It's sacrilege.
The question now is if we can continue to eat them in the same way. Furthermore, does this mean the chocolate on Jaffa Cakes is on the bottom too?
Fuck.
As if this wasn't enough of a revelation in the biscuit world, it turns out Pringles are also biscuits, not crisps.

Because of its faultless physical appearance it means that this food item is NOT A CRISP.
In 2008, the case as to whether the product is a potato crisp or whether it should technically be a biscuit or cake was debated in court.
Well, the court ruled that the snack, which is made of 42 percent of potato, should not be categorised as a potato crisp product. That's because of the tube's 'unnatural shape'.
Pringles are more like a cake or a biscuit, HM Revenue claimed, because they are also manufactured from dough.

It's a little bit more serious than just accuracy in the terminology. Former Pringles manufacturer, Procter & Gamble, was forced to pay millions of pounds of VAT after losing the battle with the taxman.
Let's not get started on whether Jaffa Cakes are cakes or biscuits.
