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

Why! Why would you do that?

If you can afford to, just buy two packets of the said biscuits, and both of you open them in different ways to suit each other... oh dear.what a palaver !! I don't eat biscuits !!

waffly - are you my twin?

Biscuit TIN!!

There's a teary bit at the top. That's where you're supposed to open them. LTB.

Mummy do you mean the musical shortbread tin? We were given one as a present last year. How the fuck do you open them?

I am so sorry you are going through this op. Do you have friends in rl to support you through ? You might think about quietly getting your evidence in order before she knows you are onto her ?

Philomena
Can’t remember. Ours is in the loft. But if you create a thread you will be answered very quickly I imagine.

Good idea!

If you pull the tab, biscuits fall out. Safer to cut.

The only good digestive either a) has chocolate on (although then Hobnobs are better) or b) is in a cheesecake base. Otherise they are pointless. Biscuits are supposed to be treats, FFS.

And they are clearly meant to be evacuated from the packet immediately and put in a biscuit tin.

The mcvities digestive is the king of biscuit. No other make of digestive comes close to the mcvitie.

Open your own biscuits.

The End

Doesn't anyone else just slice or tear near the end (as appropriate), take out biscuits to eat and then upturn the small end and tuck it inside the packet to form a lid? I thought that was normal.

I cut in the middle but that's because I'd be about to make a base for a banoffee pie and half a packet is the right amount. Am I exempt?

Is that you DH? When did you join Mumsnet?

Buy the kitchen a nice biscuit tin for its Christmas present

This would not be allowed to happen in our house as I am OCD about things getting stale and that method immediately exposes 2 digestives to a bit of air inside the bag. I think you already know what you have to do.

Please don't leave me !😓

That's a good idea! Can't believe I never thought of It, at least they'll fit in our biscuit tin I always mess about taking a few off the top which then crumble and go stale in the tin.

Send her on her way, she’s beyond help.

Christ, she's a monster! Who deliberately rends the sleek tube asunder, exposes TWO biscuits to the stale-making air and seals the resulting HORROR in a plastic BAG which you then have to fiddle with, blood sugars dangerously close to crashing, while you attempt to access the limp offerings within?

SIBU for buying digestives without chocolate though.

Digestives have the taste and texture of sand. Don't waste time opening them in whatever manner, just put them straight in the bin, or feed to a passing dog.

I don’t have much of a sweet tooth. For me digestives are wonderful. Slightly salty, not too sweet but you do need a cup of tea to wet them a bit (in the mouth never dunked in mug).
