Brits are gearing up for crunch talks – as more than one in three have quibbled with someone about biscuits. A poll of 2,000 adults found 48 per cent of those who have clashed over the sweet treats did so because someone tucked into the second layer of “posh” ones in a tin, before the top layer had been finished.
Tensions bubbled under the surface for 44 per cent when the packet wasn’t sealed correctly – causing them to go stale before their time. And a fifth were shocked when a Ginger Nut was let loose in the biscuit tin, making all the others taste “gingery” – while 21 per cent have been dismayed after they climbed into bed to find crumbs between the sheets.
The research was commissioned by McVitie’s ahead of National Biscuit Day on Monday 29th May, to reveal the nation’s biscuit barneys. It also emerged 23 per cent of biscuit-lovers are so consumed by their favourite snack that they think about them more than their love lives.
