I've been doing this for ages.

When you dunk them and put them in chocolate side down you get that melted chocolate taste on your tongue straight away and the biscuit bit then crumbles when you chew.

The other way you get a taste of biscuit, the chocolate sticks to the roof of your mouth and when you chew it all gets combined and you don't get the chocolate taste as much

The Man ain't gonna tell me what side of my biscuits is up.

Just like The Man didn't tell me when to eat cereal. "Breakfast cereal" - yeah right! Nice try CORPORATE AMERICA!!!!!

Now if you'll excuse me, it's dinner time and I have a bowl of Cheerios waiting for me.

Mrs Garth Brooks

Doesn't make sense.

Dont they always have more biscuit at the bottom and a thin layer of chocolate on top.

I demand more chocolate on the bottom and a thin layer of biscuit on top.

The Backwards Man

Will this have any ramifications on what I do with my Rich Tea biscuits?

Merkin

What about Jaffa cakes?

I eat a jaffa cake in the same fashion I would give a blowjob. Nibble round the edges first, hoover up the crusty bits that crumble off, then slurp down the orangey goodness inside.

But you've obviously thought about it given how you equate same with how you relish a Jaffa cake.

What is the free number to call if you need counselling on this?

Mrs Garth Brooks

Also, if you google images of mcvities chocolate biscuits, they show the bottom side up. Who wants to see the bottoms. Its like showing us an upside down mikado biscuit.

All of it, it doesnt make sense.

They don't display cars upside down to show they have wheels and chassis, do they?

CallMeFlo

I've always felt more comfortable eating them that way anyway but I don't understand why on the biscuit wrapper they have the biscuit chocolate side up? If the biscuit side was the top would they not put it like that on the wrapper?

no but you can see it has wheels, if you put the chocolate side down you won't see chocolate just biscuit

I've always considered the chocolate on the bottom. The writing's not on the bottom for goodness sake!!!

Franticfrank

I never really found McVitie's too special to be honest, a tie for sixth with TableTime and Allied Biscuit.

Nanny state.

I have issue with the manufacturing process. They term putting on the chocolate as "enrobing". To me a robe hangs down, much like curtains hang down implying that the chocolate hangs down from the top to the bottom.

If...IF...they put on the chocolate as they imply from the bottom then the process would be called enpanting rather than enrobing.
Is it called enpanting? No, by their very own admission it's not. Therefore, ipso facto, QED and by Jingos the chocolate is on the top.

Here's a real shocking revelation: the McVitie's story is currently "most viewed" on the (British) Independent's website, despite strong competition from MH370, Ukraine, Schumacher and the Washington mudslide.

My nan is in quite a state over this too.

Horrified that she's been serving biscuits to her friends upside-down for years without knowing it.

my scrotum it is, they are just trying to pump up publicity, when you tear open a packet via the little pull thing the chocolate is on the top

They were ruled to be cakes since they go hard and biscuits go soft!

Yes, they are definitely cakes for tax purposes.

Mind you, Tom Cruise is a farmer for tax purposes.

Yer thinkin too much about it! They go through an enrober machine with the top part turned off. The square-ish pattern you see on the choc is from a wire net that works like a conveyor and feeds all the biccies through the enrober. Halfway through, the net is supported by a
roller that has its bottom half submerged in hot liquid chocolate and it transfers this to and through the net, onto the biscuits.
But they dont cool off like this or we'd have a much different surface on them. I'm not sure how but all the rows of freshly enrobed/enpanted biscuits have to be flipped over so the chocolate can cool off while not touching anything.
And i'm curious as feck to know how thats done!
Om nom.

It's not lying. I've just confirmed it by going on the McVities website.......on the corner of the jumbo packs of Jaffa Cakes is the resplendent banner.......

"36 CAKES"

Mr. CooL ICE

Biscuits go soft and cakes go hard when they are stale. That's the main difference. However, jaffa cakes never last long enough to go stale so we will never know.

Jaffa Cakes are a deity in my house

Yes it was thanks to this thread nearly 3 years ago that I came to the shocking realisation that chocolate was on the bottom!:)
