| Their aim is to pleasure the tastebuds of our members more than any other biscuit (although other factors like dunkability have to be taken into consideration too, because they are ultimately important). more.. |

| Having exhausted all the usual criteria of taste, dunking, performance, design etc we created some random challenges. more.. |

| My dear Nicey and TW
I was intrigued that such areas of research as the optimum dunking capability of a biscuit and teapot spout dribbles have indeed merited the scientific communitys' attention via the **IgNoble awards,http://www. more.. |

| A cookie has two sides, could concievably be dunked in tea, and my local supermarket sells them in packets. more.. |

| And does the tea blend affect the dunking dynamics?
Full fat or semi-skimmed?
Bgs or leaves?
As you can see this area is largely uninvestigated and i think that even a little research could shake the world of biscuiteers to its foundations. more.. |

| It was during one of our daily tea breaks whilst discussing the various merits of Fox's Butter Crinkle Crunch and the dunking abilities of Rich Tea Fingers that we decided it would be a great idea to create a website dedicated to the pastime of tea drinking and biscuit appreciation. ... Also would it be possible to provide some advice on sensible dunking technique for various biscuits, as one of our members is experiencing regular "snap-offs" during dunking, perhaps you could provide this for our top ten regulars in our biscuit tin (in no particular order) :-
Fox's Butter Crinkle Crunch
Custard Creams
Bourbons
Malted Milk
Rich Tea
Rich Tea Fingers
Chocolate Digestives
Ginger Nuts
Chocolate Malted Milk
Digestives ... I'm a bit of a reformed dunker myself, but when I did partake of that habit it really came down to confidence and timing, these can not be gained overnight but must be learnt. ... Out of the biscuits in your list I would only dunk the Rich teas, Digestives and as rank outsiders the Crinkle crunch. ... Dunking chocolate biscuits or cream filled biscuits is generally a no-no although I understand that many people do choose to do this. ... Cow biscuits are much too pretty dunk and should have the cows nibbled out of them. ... Gingernuts are all about crunch so again I wouldn't choose to dunk them. ... Of course when dunking any large diameter biscuit such as the digestive, one has a window of opportunity, whilst the tea level in you cup/mug is high enough to let you get the edge in. ... As the tea level falls much more dunking and nibbling are required to access the tea. more.. |

| Also I would like to see reveiws of different types of tea and possibly an objective review of the 'nice' biscuit (good for dunking, surely?)
One last thing, is it acceptable to occaisionally say 'biccie-teer' rather than biscuiteer, or does it implie that somehow the biscuits are sad? more.. |

| We at south croydon have been debating the above subject and were wondering why the great people at Mcvities have decided to give us both a tube and a packet, so we thought we would list some pros and cons
Pros of the tube
1) Modern
2) Keeps the biscuits fresh for longer
3) They don't get crushed and broken ( this brings a tear to my eye just thinking about it)
4) Stops greed, taking 2 biscuits and double dunking. more.. |

| They offer no caffeine or dunking possibilities, so how can these tepid ribena like offerings possibly share the nomenclature of the honest cuppa? Any ideas? I believe we should
implement tighter controls on the use of the word 'tea' in descriptions of warm water based beverages to avoid further torment. more.. |
