Taking the biscuit: for 100 years we’ve been eating chocolate digestives all wrong

McVitie’s reveals chocolate side should be down to fire up taste buds

Whether dunking, nibbling or even gobbling up a chocolate digestive, it seems common sense to keep the biscuity side down.

But we are getting it all wrong, according to Anthony Coulson, general manager of the McVitie’s factory in Stockport. He insists that instead the chocolate should be on the bottom and the biscuit on top.
