Mug of tea. Chocolate Hob Nob. Dunk Hob Nob. Extract Hob Nob. Watch as Hob Nob splits and three quarters of Hob Nob falls smoothly into the tea. I hate that. It stops me enjoying a freshly dunked Hob Nob and leaves the tea with an oaty residuum. Why can't unbreakable dunking biscuits be invented? Surely nanotechnologists can create crumb assemblers to automatically repair the microfissures in tea sodden Hob Nobs.

Actually, a scientist sometime ago proved that if you dunk the biscuit in a angle that maintains its top surface dry, it will not break... Here you can take the formula to a perfect dunk.[^] More lore.[^]

So, you won't be using Hobnobs for the Dunkathon on Friday, then? :laugh:

You see this is where science funding needs to be spent! Improving the little things in life. A few hundred thousand pounds spend on Dunkology will do more for human existence than million spent on GM crops or studying life cycles on the axolotl!

No! Dunking is essential to the fullest enjoyment of both the biscuit and the tea! They are more than the sum of their parts, for when tea and biscuit meet, magic happens.

You'll be needing those foxes viennase biscuit things, they are superior to hobnobs for dunking..soak up just the right amount of coffee and don't fall apart...
Coffee? No, No, No! Tea, one dunks things into tea. Coffee is merely that disgusting slop that should be banned for being both offensive to the tongue and to the nose.

You know, as i do, that scientists doesn't have much free time to spend researching superfluous things like the AIDS or Cancer cure... ;P

I heartily disagree, only a philistine who put milk into tea would come out with a comment like that... tea should be high quality Taiwan Mountain tea, brewed in nothing but water and should be sipped and enjoyed, nothing should be dunked in it, coffee on the other hand should be strong enough for the spoon to very nearly stand up on its own in, and can happily be dunked so you can enjoy the flavor permeating your biscuit.

We ruled the world on the back of a cup of tea. Served hot with milk and two sugars. Coffee tastes like mud. (Mind you it was recently ground!)

No, that is instant coffee. The real stuff beats mere dried-bush-clippings-in-water any day!

Looks like the ADL has doubled its membership! :-D Dunking is an abomination, not least for filling the last mouthful of tea with soggy biscuit droppings.

oh indeed, in fact is it even possible to be a coder without an unhealthy caffeine addiction that coffee satisfies so much more than tea, alcohol can do the same job of course but the results are so much more unpredictable, see XKCD's ballmer peak for details http://xkcd.com/323/[^]

Ahhh, yes. Nothing like a good mug of tea and a nice biscuit. You can throw the biscuit at the dog and empty out the tea to put a real beverage in its place.

I think I shall stick to a somewhat sturdier biscuit. A Fox's Ginger Crunch perhaps, or possibly some Custard Creams.

Magic? I'm utterly befuddled. Next thing you'll tell us you've been sitting in the front pew last Sunday in church and listened attentively to some disturbed soul droning on about some sky pixies. Tell us it ain't so, please! ;P
