Staff at the Mcvitie's laboratory in High Wycombe, Bucks, designed the Crumb Test Dummy to test which baking techniques produce the most crumbs....
I like how the mannequin appears to be scared of the feeder man, his hair net and the biscuit.
..."The Crumb Test Dummy has a never-ending appetite and doesn't need to stop for breath."
I thought that's where fat people came in.
Full story
Whatever next?

i have to disagree on the hobnob front. as sad as it is to have a diagrement about biscuits i reckon chocolate digestives [although may seem boring at first] as far superior to hobnobs. also hobnob is just a shit name too

I'd say that looks like a digestive, and chocolate digestives are the shit!......especially the ones with the caramel in but too many of them makes my tummy feel sicky

HOB NOBS! DIGESTIVES! I hate to lower the tone, BUT you people dont know what the fuck you are talking about. A true biscuit expert knows its fig rolls and garabaldi all the way. SO FUCK YOU AND THE CRUMBS YOU SIT IN!!!!!!!!!!

I don't know if it's classed as a biscuit, but
I personally think an Orange Viscount is the fucking daddy!

i would have to disagree, i think that fig rolls are one of the most disgusting bits of food ever to be made.
What are they!?!?!?!
WRONG
chocolate digestives with caramel are damn good sam. damn good!

I agree, fig rolls belong in hell.....along with their sick and twisted inventor. I mean figs are pretty evil by themselves but to put them in a roll is surely the workings of a madman.
tough one about viscounts, they are lush but i don't reckon they belong to the biscuit family of snacks. Personally i would disqualify them from any type of biscuit comp. Sorry Johnny.
