Social media users have been shocked following claims that Penguins are merely bourbon biscuits coated in chocolate. Watch the evidence for yourself:
TikTok user @anonymousaccount posted a video in which they show what happens when you dip a Penguin in a brew.

They captioned it: "How old were you when you found out that a Penguin was a bourbon covered in chocolate?"
As you can see from the above, the hot drink melts the outer layer of milk chocolate, leaving behind two slabs of chocolate biscuit with a layer of chocolate-flavoured cream in the middle.
I'm not sure what else they were expecting, to be honest... but still, some TikTokers had questions about this 'discovery'.
One said: "But I hate bourbons but love Penguins, how does that work?"

While another person hated Penguins but loved bourbons. Surely there's nothing offensive enough about either of them to say you 'hate' them...?
A third TikToker was unmoved by the claims, however, pointing out: "But the cream is different."
I wonder if we'll ever know the truth. LADbible has reached out to Penguin manufacturer McVitie's for comment.
It's not the first case of chocolate-based confusion we've experienced lately, with Cadbury's being forced to release a statement about two of its beloved bars: Twirls and Flakes.

A huge national debate broke out when a social media user suggested that Twirls are simply Flakes covered in chocolate. A fair assumption, you'd think.
Dan Timlin was the one who initially sparked the social media storm when he shared a TikTok video in which he claimed the two iconic Cadbury's chocolate bars were essentially the same.
In the first of two videos, Dan uses the packaging to explain his theory.

He says: "Twirls are chocolate-covered Flakes. They're the same thing man."
After one user said he was wrong, claiming Flakes can't be melted while Twirls can, Dan decided he would share another video, testing the theory out.
Placing both the chocolate bars, wrapped in tinfoil, into the oven, he says: "I'm gonna put these both in the oven for 10 minutes. Because Flake chocolate won't melt, the Twirl won't either."
He then pulls them both out, and unveiling the pair he reveals they have both burned while in the oven.

But, as it turns out, Cadbury put the whole thing to bed, confirming the products are in fact different.
A statement sent to LADbible reads: "Both Cadbury Twirl and Cadbury Flake bars are made with the Cadbury chocolate that we all know and love.
"We can confirm they are not one and the same, how each of them are made is a secret though, known only to our brilliant chocolate makers."
Well, there you have it.
