What Your Biscuit Choice Says About You!

A great accompaniment to any cuppa, and a true British staple of many households. They are a perfect snack when you just need that little pick-me-up and with so many varieties to choose from, you’re spoilt for choice! 

From small to large, iced or covered with chocolate, what’s not to like?! These sweet treats bring so much joy and provide us with a brief moment of pleasure.

Oreo
If you eat the full Oreo in one go, then this means you enjoy life without thinking. You’re fun, exciting, and carefree, and you live your life to the fullest. But you are a little irresponsible and at times reckless. 

If you twist the two halves apart before dunking, then you’re a curious breed and enjoy breaking things down to find out how they work. You’re experimental and like to try new things but you’re also a little devious and like to get rid of any evidence.

Custard Cream
You’re retro, and this throws you back to happier, simpler times. Originating in the early 1900’s, the Custard Cream is a true British biscuit and takes you back to a simpler era. 

Shortbread Biscuits
You’re a simple person who believes it’s the little things in life that matter. You don’t like any fuss and like to go through your days with minimal stress and disruption

Jammy dodger
You’re fun spirited and always up for a social event, but you can often find a good reason to dodge your responsibilities. That deadline coming up next week? You’re sure it can wait.

Although you’re fun to be around, you can be slow to show your true self to people, you may have a hard exterior at first, but you’re lovely and sweet on the inside…

Party ring
As the name suggests, you’re the life and soul of the party! There’s never a weekend where your social calendar is empty. You’re everyone’s favourite and you’re especially good with kids. But this is also your Achilles Heel, it’s easy for someone to wrap you right around their finger…

Bourbon
You’re definitely someone who enjoys the finer things in life. Bourbon biscuit by day, bourbon whisky by night. You love a good dinner party, but some might say you’re best in small doses…

Pink wafer
While many might see you as flaky, there are many layers to you. Always bright and cheery on the surface, you bring colour to people’s lives which makes you a treat to hang out with.

Although, this does mean you might be more likely to break under pressure, leaving others picking up the pieces!

Digestive
You’re the dependable one in the friendship group. You can always be relied on to have a heart-to-heart chat with a nice cup of tea or coffee.
Boring? Some might say so, but timeless and a staple in everyone’s lives. If you’re partial to a chocolate digestive, you might be spotted out and about every now and again.

Jaffa cake
Deceitful. You say you’re a biscuit, but you’re really just a cake.

Fig Roll
You’re an optimist and like to think you’re getting 1 of your 5 a day by eating a fig roll. Sadly, not true, but worth a try! 

You’re a positive thinker and believe in your own choices. You also love a bit of controversy as people are divided in opinion as to whether the Fig roll actually constitutes as a biscuit.  Could you really imagine dunking this into your tea? Either way as a fig roll lover you’re not bothered. You do as you please and you’re set in your ways.

Ginger Snap biscuits
You don’t overthink situations and you don’t really care what people think about you. Ginger Snap biscuits have the power to divide people with their strong, spicy, gingery flavour. As a ginger biscuit lover, you don’t mind dividing opinions, and you are a strong minded individual. You know what you want in life, and lead from the front in your social group.

Hobnob
Adventurous, you spend most of your time climbing mountains and walking in the wilderness. Rain holds no fear for you.
