The bis­cuit injury threat eval­u­a­tion might sound like a com­plete joke but it is actu­ally quite legit. A study was done in Britain on the hid­den dan­gers posed by bis­cuit con­sump­tion. The things that some peo­ple do to keep them­selves amused I say.

 

Any­way the study shows that 25 mil­lion Britains injure them­selves eat­ing bis­cuits, which is half the pop­u­la­tion of Britain. Out of this 25 mil­lion, a total of 500 have been hos­pi­talised and inter­est­ingly enough the cus­tard creme is con­sid­ered the most “perilous.”

 

The hid­den dan­gers of bis­cuits are as fol­lows:
 

• Fly­ing fragments
• Scald­ing while dunk­ing or fish­ing out bis­cuits from a hot cuppa
• Falling off a chair reach­ing for the cookie jar
• Chip­ping a tooth
• Chok­ing on crumbs
• Being bit­ten by an ani­mal try­ing to get your biscuit
• Pok­ing your­self in the eye with one

 

So what is the dan­ger­ous bic­cie ranking?

 

• Cus­tard Cream 5.64
• Cookie 4.34
• Choc Bis­cuit Bar (eg: Rocky) 4.12
