Vital biscuit research released

It is Biscuit O’Clock at 2:33pm in the South West, according to research by McVitie’s Bonkers about Biscuits report.

An unashamed 7.2 per cent in the region would take the final biscuit on a shared plate without hesitation and 67.1 per cent of us would tell a work colleague before a meeting if there were biscuit crumbs around their mouth.

The vital statistics were collated by the biscuit company eager to discover more about the nation’s biscuiting habits.

Biscuit O’ Clock mainly falls between 3 and 4pm the same time school ends and parents and teachers need a quick pick-me-up, though hard-core South Westeners need their biscuit rush earlier.

The top five biscuits ranked as top place chocolate digestive, followed by chocolate HobNob, Jaffa Cake, chocolate chip cookie and finally shortbread.
