Twitter users have been left baffled after Weetabix was included in a biscuit tier list posted by Macmillan Cancer Support.
Weetabix is a cereal according to their official website and you usually pour milk over it.
You wouldn't dunk it in your coffee.

One user wrote: "I just want to know who is eating Weetabix like a biscuit."
A second user added: "@metpoliceuk I need to report a crime."
However, incredibly, another user actually claims that, when times were tough 'back in the day', many people resorted to using Weetabix as a biscuit, rather than a cereal.

He said: "We didn't have much money growing up in the 1970s.
"Biscuits were at treat.
"When they were gone, they were gone.
"As a substitute, we would eat Weetabix and/or cream crackers with jam.

"An acquired taste, l admit, but it filled us up!"
A fourth user probably went too far and said: "A Weetabix with butter on it is nice. You need a good layer of it, though."
No comment.
The Twitter post was captioned: "We've rated the nation's most loved biscuits, so you don't have to."
At the bottom of the list were - pink wafers, custard creams, ginger nuts and jammie dodgers.

Next up, your 'average Joe' biscuit was - Weetabix, rich tea, Jaffa cakes and garibaldis.
The Jaffa Cakes admin was clearly having none of it and replied: "Biscuits? Average Joe? How very dare you."
Macmillian hit back and responded: "You're lucky we even put you on the list!!!"
Sounds like the kind of insults you'd hear some YouTubers say at an exhibition boxing match.

Now your 'First-class' snacks consisted of - fig rolls, chocolate digestives, party rings and madeleines.
Ranked at the top were the 'OG' biscuits - chocolate fingers, shortbread, bourbons and cookies.
