To be so angry at a biscuit tin

[littlebigone]

Feel free to add your own irritations

Tonight I was wanting a biscuit from a tin of biscuits purchased for a Christmas gift (I was planning on replacing said eaten gift) and could I get in there???!! No.!!!

It was wrapped within an inch of its life. Impossible to get in. I am in bed and fancied a biscuit. In loft conversion so nowhere near the kitchen or utensils to use to get in tin. Had to resort to phone charger plug to cut in.

I thought it would be easy and not such a task.

OP tomorrow night take an emergency kit to bed with you

It's your punishment for scoffing someone else's present.

YABU, OP. The only bad biscuit tin is an empty one.

Is it bad that I'm now laughing at the thought of the same thing happening to the intended recipient?

I missed a good 5 minutes of question time trying to get into that bastard to get a jammy dodger.

I'm with Better on this one

I feel the same about mushroom pate from sainsburys - seems to have 2 layers of laminate - why???

Livia! Yes ! I have 3 other tins for presents and feel I should type up a warning to go with them

Also Tesco seem to be the only place that do mushy peas with a ring pull. So if I go to Sainsbury's I end up having to get the darn tin opener out.

Ah but jammy dodgers are worth it

Instead of typing up a warning, how about removing the risk altogether and keeping all of the biscuits for yourself? It's the kindest thing to do....

Well I agree that biscuit tins are inherently evil due to one falling off a shelf in Tesco and breaking my toe less than a week before Christmas 2 years ago!

Would this happen to be a proper jammy dodger tin? I bought one in b&m today and the lid would not come off Took a huge amount of effort to get to the 7 mini packs inside.
