Health Warning (o:

I would like to bring your attention to the above. To you and me, it looks like just another packet of biscuits. You know the sort of thing, it stays hidden away at the bottom of the shopping trolley and somehow manages to slip unnoticed into your packing. When you get home it sits there quietly fluttering its 'tear open here' flap.

You think that you might just have one, as you put them into the biscuit tin. But something happens. You change, like the Incredible Hulk, you uncontrollably morph into a mad biscuit eating madman. And then you switch back and find just a crumpled wrapper and a few lonely crumbs. You mind blank as to the events of the last five minutes....

But be scared, be very scared. For each biscuit contains no less than 106 calories... Yes THAT'S PER BISCUIT!!!

And you can upgrade from the 200gm pack, which contains 10 of them, to the 400gm pack. That is the whole day's RDA of calories from a single pack of biscuits. 2,120 calories in fact. And all for 95 pence, or 48 pence if you only want to eat half your RDA in one go!!!

My first question is how on earth do they manage to pack so many cals into each singular biscuit? There is some strange magic going on, because I just cannot see that there is room for all those cals. Secondly, is it any wonder that we as a nation are putting on a little extra weight around our middles, when it is so blatantly cheap and easy to demolish over 2,000 calories in 10 minutes?

It would take a 20 mile run to burn that lot off, and that would take three hours, if you were able to actually run for that distance, which is highly unlikely.

And the good old Government go on about drugs, fags and booze... it's the biscuits that will get you in the end.

You have been warned!!!
