Do you ever worry about your shortie dropping off?

[purplepoppy]

The British Medical Journal has just published groundbreaking research on the best biscuits to dunk in your tea. This is important because you might scald yourself or worse the biscuit might break off.

Here's a link to the scientific paper
https://www.bmj.com/content/379/bmj-2022-072839

But if you can't be bothered to read it, the picture summarises it nicely.

However due to budget restraints only four types of biscuits were tested oat, digestive, shortie and rich tea. I thought a rich tea was a digestive but I digress.

The question is are you a dunker and do you worry about it dropping off?

Purple, when I was in London in 2008, I confess, I did not try drinking any tea while I was there, nor any 'biscuits? I really don't know what a 'biscuit' is? It it the same as a 'cookie" here in the U. S? Tryng to understand, just why it would be such a tragedy if your 'shortie' broke off and fell in your tea? Now that I know what a 'shortie' is, I am even more confused by your question.

It certainly must be a serious problem if the British Medical Journal published stats on which 'biscuits' stood up best in British tea?

I appreciate your clarification of exactly what you were asking, re: "Do you ever worry about your 'shortie' dropping off" - as I am certain there are those men (especially British men) who worry about such things. My goodness!

This is a serious concern. Happens with donuts too!!!

Don't worry we've got doughnuts covered too https://www.bmj.com/content/369/bmj.m1670

I miss digestive and rich tea so much. I must get my mother to send me a care package. Tayto crisps and jammie dodgers too.

And Barry's tea

Yorkshire tea and punjana. I sent myself a few boxes in the post and carried on to the plane last time I was over. They don't know what tea is over here or how to make it. I bought a kettle for the kitchen, my husband asked me what it was and what's it for.

[purplepoppy]

Did you know that taytos makes golden wonder crisps

[Opinion Owner]

No. When did that happen. Also I haven't seen golden wonder crisps in years. I thought Gary linekar stole them all.

[purplepoppy]

They bought the company a few years ago

, Well, I'm drinking strong tea as we "speak" but have no shorties' do dunk in it!!!

[douride2]

I'm not a dunker. The bigger question is how much did this study cost the poor taxpayers?

[Red_Arrow]

Never heard of a shortie, so you can see why I immediately thought of some poor guy lacking in sexual size having his member falling off. Something to worry about, all right.

[MrOracle]

I'm an American. I don't drink tea (or coffee) and I generally don't eat "biscuit" cookies, so I am safe. If I am going to eat a cookie, it's likely to be a chocolate chip. I'm a simple man...

[AviatorTom]

I don't dunk... too dangerous. I take a bite, then a sip... same taste as dunking without the hazard.

[bean2k21]

We Americans are not a bunch of slackers living on a dreary island, so we don't need a 3pm tea. We get jacked up on Starbucks and rule the planet. Also dip cookies in milk like you're supposed to.

[Bricealan]

You go guy!!! Tell 'em!!! I love my Starbucks and a bagel!!!

[exitseven]

I just wonder how much did the taxpayers get screwed over to make this study?

[HippieVeganJewslim]

I worry not. There’s nothing I could do, so worrying wouldn’t help. Besides, I don’t nosh shorties.

[EaterPeter]

Interesting user name.

[HippieVeganJewslim]

@EaterPeter I hope You understand the last part.

[EaterPeter]

Absolutely

[Kryzo]

I disagree with this paper. Bourbon Biscuits FTW.

[Andres77]

Dunker!

[Andres77]

Except for graham I. Sometimes you just have to accept some limitations. So, we started taking a whole package of graham crackers and crushing them in a bowl, cover them with milk and devour them with a spoon.

What a waste of time
