1. As the leading UK “ask” subreddit, we welcome questions from all users and countries; sometimes people who ask questions might not appreciate or understand the nuance of British life or culture, and as a result some questions can come across in a different way than intended.

   We understand that when faced with these questions, our users may take the opportunity to demonstrate their wit, dry humour, and saracasm – unfortunately, this also tends to go over the heads of misunderstood question-askers and can make our subreddit seem hostile to users from other countries who are often just curious about our land.

   **Please can you help prevent our subreddit from becoming an Anti-American echo chamber?** If you disagree with any points raised by OP, or OP discusses common tropes or myths about the UK, please refrain from any brash, aggressive, or sarcastic responses and do your best to engage OP in a civil discussion, with the aim to educate and expand their understanding.

2. I lick all the chocolate off first, then just eat the biscuit.

3. Biscuit side down mainly so I can balance the biscuit on my fingertips and not get any chocolate melting onto my fingers/hands.

   I also break the biscuit in half in the packet so I can shove the whole piece in my mouth to avoid crumbs.

4. >I found if the chocolate is on the bottom when I bite then I don’t get crumbs everywhere.

   I’m a chocolate up person but I think you may have just changed the game for me

5. Chocolate up. Sometimes dunked in tea first.

6. Depends on my mood. Usually chocolate up. But when I want to feel like the random-fact-geek that I am I eat chocolate side down (cos the tongue is at the bottom of the mouth, you taste the chocolate better)

7. vertical.

8. If you dunk them in tea first, don’t really get crumbs. Chocolate Hotnobs are the Royal Marines of the biscuit world.

9. Pretty much always dunked, then chic side up, no crumbs.

10. Two at a time one up, one down so the chocolate is touching.

11. Whichever way up, try them with a thin layer of peanut butter. Amazing combo.

12. Eating a digestive with the chocolate on the bottom is like eating a KitKat the wrong way. Just why would you do that?

13. But if some chocolate breaks off and you don’t notice it, then you clothes will be stained in chocolate. I’d rather brush a few crumbs off than have t change my top because of chocolate stains
