The Hobnob-style biscuit outlasted its other three competitors

You may think they are taking the biscuit but scientists in Cardiff tested the Hobnob-style, digestive, shortie and rich tea in a biscuit comparative study, external.
After a two-second dunk, the oat biscuit came out on top, lasting 29 seconds before a soggy splash down.
It smashed its competitors with the rich tea breaking after two seconds.
The shortie was the runner-up, lasting an average of 17.5 seconds, and the digestive took bronze remaining intact for about 8.5 seconds.
