  It also revealed that 28 percent had choked on crumbs 2, while one in ten had broken a tooth or filling biting a biscuit. More unusually, three percent had poked 3 themselves in the eye with a biscuit and seven percent bitten by a pet or other wild animal trying to get their biscuit.

One man even ended up stuck in wet concrete after wading 4 in to pick up a stray biscuit. Mindlab International director David Lewis said: “We tested the physical properties of 15 most popular types of biscuits, along with aspects of their consumption such as ‘dunkability’ and crumb 1 dispersal.” And the title of the most dangerous biscuit belongs to the humble 5 custard cream. It poses the most risk to innocent dunkers with a Biscuit Injury Threat Evaluation 6, or B.I.T.E rating of 5.63.

This compares to just 1.16 for soft and safe and Jaffa Cakes. Mike Driver, Marketing 7 Director for biscuit makers 8 Rocky, who commissioned the study, said: “Working with biscuits every day, we’d long suspected they’re not as innocent as they look, and we were right.”
