WHAT YOU ARE about to read may shock and alarm you.

Ground-breaking revelations coming from McVitie’s HQ today have knocked biscuit-eating as we know it on its head.

The company has confirmed that the chocolate layer is on the BOTTOM of the biscuit, not the top.

An inquisitive Redditor wrote to United Biscuits to confirm the widely-agreed composition of a biscuit (chocolate on top), but the reply was pretty shocking.

For your information, the biscuits go through a reservoir of chocolate which enrobes them so the chocolate is actually on the bottom of the biscuits and not on the top.

It was later confirmed with a spokesperson by the Independent:

The McVitie’s stamp is on the other side, which is the top of the biscuit.

You’ve been eating Digestives and Hobnobs, among many others, the wrong way up.

This is our heart, in biscuit form.
