....have you been eating your choccy digestive the wrong way up? Tut tut!

[naomi24]

They're making them upside down!

I expect the Aussies get it right, then. I can see a TED talk in the making.

The Beeb is regurgitating old articles. I remember reading it some years ago

When I ate them, I sandwiched two together, chocolate inside. One up, one down, so half right

[albaqwerty]

Barry, that's the only was to eat them, no chocolate wastage.

Tomorrow, the Beeb will regurgitate "we've been eating bananas from the wrong end" debate.

[gingejbee]

^re Bananas...apparently most people PEEL them from the wrong end.

[Bazile]

I eat my jammie dodgers upside down 

[Cloverjo]

Barry, chocolate inside? You're not getting the full chocolateyness on your tongue. 
I eat my Marmite on toast with the Marmite beneath. Perhaps I should say Marmite under toast.

I've heard this claim before. Obvious nonsense.

 

The base (obviously the thick cereal (i.e. biscuit) layer) goes on the bottom, as bases tend to. Any covering, whether icing, chocolate, or something else, gets spread upon it.

 

I figure they claim this every now and again in the hope of free publicity.

Support your biscuit on your fingertips and try it once biscuit side down and then biscuit side up. The latter will give you sticky chocolate fingers. OG is quite right, it's just free publicity.

I've read some rubbish in my time but this just takes the biscuit 😁

"The base (obviously the thick cereal (i.e. biscuit) layer) goes on the bottom, as bases tend to. Any covering, whether icing, chocolate, or something else, gets spread upon it.”

Incredibly, OG, that is incorrect.

McVitie’s chocolate digestives actually receive their chocolate coating from underneath. They’re passed through a “chocolate dip” which coats the underside and also allows the chocolate to drip, forming he patterned coating.

Have  look  around 2m35secs here:

I'm with Barry. Two at a time in a sandwich, then dunk.

[Canary42]

Nice one NJ, beats Tipping Point 😀

[Atheist]

NJ. Just because they make them that way doesn't mean you have to eat them that way.

[douglas9401]

Swallowing is much easier if you're the right way up.

[Arksided]

Even chocolate can't rescue a digestive from being dull... once you had a Chocolate Hob-nob

[Old_Geezer]

I suggest that the fact that they find it "better" to create upside-down doesn't make the end result incorrect.  The biscuit is clearly the base. The stuff on it the topping.

[New Judge]

Only in this country (and only among people of a certain sophistication) could a chocolate biscuit engender so much discussion and conroversy!  🤣

[piggynose]

They're nice in a sarnie

[sandyRoe]

If the chocolate was on the down side you'd get your fingers dirtied as you ate your way through the packet.

[vulcan42]

at 14 pence per biscuit I think we're entitled to eat them how we want.
