Every time I buy biscuits in erdener they are broken or the chocolate ones are all melted together,absolute waste of money for broken biscuits

Same at Supreme . you have to take your luck out here

Same everywhere. Saw a box full of Digestives dropped on the floor last week. Box was opened and all the packets duly put on shelves. In this heat most chocolate biscuits will stick together.

The trick is NEVER buy the ones from the front. !!

Same with crisps. It happens a lot with Pringles. 2 or 3 whole ones and the rest are in bits

Trouble is tutor4u, when its a whole box it wouldn't make any difference.

Have you not seen them stacking the shelves? They shove and cram them on the shelves so much they are bound be damaged but they don't care, they aren't buying them! in BestMar, Lapta I once witnessed a lad throwing boxes of Doritos up to another standing on crates to put them on a space on top of the shelves. He threw one box up to the stacker three times because he couldn't catch it and each time it hit the floor with a thud, oh how they laughed. I shook my head and made a mental note.

I can remember when my mother went to the open market to buy a bag of broken biscuits .
That's all she could afford.

Ah, first world problems.... treat yourself to Gullon Cioccolato gluten free from any Supermarket.... never had a broken one - yet. Just leave some for the rest of us - they are super addictive....

Reminds me in1956 I was SATURDAY girl in Woolworths. Brixton on biscuit counter and busiest was selling broken biscuits. Loved it.

i was a saturday girl in woolies in1966/67 - loved the biscuit counter!

I was a Saturday girl also on the snack bar (Brighton) £1 a day & I picked up £1 in tips, thought I was the bees knees 64/65

I am going to open them next time fed up with getting broken biscuits,if they are ok I will buy if not I will take them to the counter

Broken biscuits are wonderful. Lets face it, the first thing you do is break it or dunk it. Either way its in pieces.

I can see an opening here for a budding entrepreneur.

OMG reminds me of when my auntie worked at Cadburys and came home with the broken biscuits...miss these days...

Ok if the biscuits are on special and not full price,crisps the same I think they punch the bags

Internet Eh?

It's hilarious, isn't it??

tbf in the UK the top and bottom biscuits are often broken.
I often wondered why they didn't leave the top one and bottom one out

Doesn't affect the taste!

Maybe not. If you have a guest for elevenses and want to use your best china, a plate of broken biscuits just doesn't cut the mustard.
