My wife slices the pack of digestives in the middle in two equal parts! LTB

Why! Why would you do that?

Why WOULDN'T you do that?! Confused

lottiegarbanzo · 07/12/2018 00:08

Then... eats them? Puts them in a tin? What?

SylviaAndSydney · 07/12/2018 00:08

I don't believe they're equal.

DramaAlpaca · 07/12/2018 00:09

No, no, no! You have to slice between the first & second biscuit.

halfwitpicker · 07/12/2018 00:10

To Open it?

puckingfixies · 07/12/2018 00:11

Yeah, leave her. Or you could open your own biscuits.

NoSquirrels · 07/12/2018 00:11

Does one half go in the biscuit tin and the other half somewhere else? Like in my house, where I hide 50% to ration them...?

AutumnCrow · 07/12/2018 00:11

I thought you meant lengthways, like making each digestive a semi-circle.

adoggymum · 07/12/2018 00:12

@AutumnCrow I thought that at first too😂

HopeGarden · 07/12/2018 00:12

So..... is it:

a) packet sliced in middle with 10 or so while biscuits in each half

Or

b) packet sliced in middle with 20 or so halved biscuits in each half?

If it’s (a), then it’s really no big deal.

If it’s (b), then that’s majorly bizarre behaviour. Extreme portion control maybe?

What's this slicing at biscuit packets at all? They have a tear strip.

Yes, good grounds to leave.

She puts the two halves together in a plastic bag with one of those clip things but when you try and get a bivvy out it's a total palaver.

Do you always eat your half too quickly?

UrsulaPandress · 07/12/2018 00:13

Buy your own biscuits.

Sorted.

NoSquirrels · 07/12/2018 00:13

Get a biscuit tin?? Confused

e1y1 · 07/12/2018 00:14

Ah, you need a proper biscuit caddy to keep biscuits then instead of splitting packs and bagging them.

Hope, it's a) ... and it is a big deal!

nocoolnamesleft · 07/12/2018 00:14

Ohhhh. I thought you meant that she handed you one half of the packet, and kept the other way, as you kept eating them faster. Apologies for mentally maligning you.

SylviaAndSydney · 07/12/2018 00:14

Me too AutumnCrow, as my first reply shows Blush

I'm overtired and Boswelled out though in my defence.

Why can't people neatly separate the plastic at one end, remove your 3 digestives and neatly scrunch the end together. Simples

Sorry it's divorce form me!! Bloody Neanderthal

AutumnCrow · 07/12/2018 00:20

You can't neatly scrunch the end if you've only had three biscuits out. There's not enough wrapper.

JaneJeffer · 07/12/2018 00:20

Boswelled out Grin you're not alone there

Why doesn't she open the end, take out the biscuits and then do the spin it around action to seal it up like a normal person?

PurpleFlower1983 · 07/12/2018 00:21

My Nan used to do this!
