Dangerous Biscuits – How to Avoid Biscuit Injuries 101
Friday, September 11th, 2009Can’t believe I’m posting about this, but the guys over at Fox’s Rocky Biscuits have recently commissioned a study into which biscuit is the most dangerous. We here at Rubber Towers love our biscuits – particularly chocolate digestives, if the more recent purchases are to be believed, and find it hard to accept that our beloved snacks could be harmful. Apparently people have actually been visiting their doctors because of biscuit-related injuries. And which is the most dangerous of them all?: the deadly Custard Cream (although how they worked this out, I do not know).
Here is a bit more about their finding
‘Mike Driver, Marketing Director for Rocky said: “We commissioned this study after learning how many biscuit related injuries are treated by doctors each year.
Accidents have included people poking themselves in the eye with a biscuit, falling off a chair while reaching for the tin, sustaining burns after dunking a biscuit in scalding tea, and being hit by fragments flying through the air.
Other people have reported choking on crumbs and damaging a tooth or filling on a particularly hard biscuit. One unlucky person ended up stuck in wet concrete after wading in to pick up a stray biscuit.’
So how can you avoid such nasty accidents? Well for one, if your biscuit falls into freshly poured concrete, don’t go after it. Not only will you get stuck – as apparantly one person already has – but the biscuit itself will probably be inedible, due to being covered in concrete. Seems like common sense, no?
Ha! Common sense doesn’t seem to be quite so common these days (I have come to refer to such things as having ‘good’ sense, rather than it’s more well known moniker), but that’s for another post. Even so, visiting your GP because of being hit by ’stray biscuit shrapnel’ would seem a tad extreme.
If you’re munching away on your Hobnobs, please make sure not to spray crumbs, drop it in your tea, or put it too near to your eye, lest you do yourself a mischief.
And with that, I shall leave you with the full results of the inquest:
