Some weeks back, on the UK TV show The RangaNation, a debate arose about how people eat a chocolate digestive biscuit.
Apparently, there is a right way and a wrong way.
Ever since I started eating them, I've just assumed the correct way was biting or popping the biscuit into your mouth with the chocolate facing up.
But...Get This.
On the show, loads of people actually eat them with the chocolate facing down (so it's on the underside as you chomp it).
So, this debate got a bit out of hand, with both sides expressing outrage that an alternative way existed.
Anyway, Romesh (the host and presenter) was contacted by McVities (who make them) and they endorsed the chocolate on the underside as it enters your mouth as being the correct/optimal way to devour them.
So, it turns out what I thought was the normal way all these years was incorrect.
Not that I'll ever change my way. It's far too late now.
Chocolate on the topside will only ever be normal to me.
How do you eat yours?

I eat them chocolate side up because that is how they are pictured on McVitte's own packages. Clearly someone saw them as to be eaten choc side up (and logic).
It's a little like whether you mount your toilet paper roll over or under. Mount them under if you want, but the designers and manufacturers intend them to be mounted over.
Eat your cookie upside down if you want (and I'm sure there's taste/texture difference), just don't lick the chocolate off first and then eat the spit soggy biscuit. ew.

You have to dip it in hot tea. Break it in half, dip the half in the tea (not for too long or it breaks off & you have to fish it out with a teaspoon) & eat, chocolate up of course, I'm not a communist, & then repeat with the other half. It was milk chocolate when I was young, but now I'm older & sophisticated, it's dark chocolate (dipped in coffee).
Oh wow This!!! I was gonna write exactly this !!

Ram is right, have to be quick.
Its probably a 1 n half second dunk.
Ive moved on to fox chocolate rounds now and the rather yummy Chocolatey fudge biscuits. Oh my, lush.
And still dunking in tea for England.

Or face TG's LG against the wall.
Although that may be preferable for dreary superhero films

Yeah, dead right there, & a teaspoon to fish it out is a bit too slow really, it goes to mush in a second or two. You have to dive in the hot tea with your fingers, the trick is not to show the pain. I believe they had that scene in Lawrence Of Arabia, but replaced it with Lawrence slowly putting out a lighted match between his finger & thumb.
This. Again spot on. Sometimes i too have caught it in the split second it hovers near the surface of the tea, before diving faster than a punctured uboat. Either way its a finger full of choccy biccy mush, n u have to lick every finger.

In my local they sell them with the chocolate, either, on top,or on the bottom. They call them chocobottom or chocotop.

The slight advantage to eating chocolate digestives choc side down is that crumbs are a bit less likely to fall. The choc coating stops some of them. AND the lettering is on the top side, not the bottom.
