I think of Digestives as a cheese bikit, so adding chocolate just does not work for me.

Ginger nuts are good dunkers - but the latest McVitie recipe is very poor, they have an odd taste and nasty finish.
Jaffa cakes do not dunk well - but the Lyons ones have an excellent Orangey bit and very good chocolate, which compensates nicely for a "dry" sponge.
For some reason "modern" biscuit designs do not seem like "real" biscuits - they crumble to a powder in the mouth and that isn't very pleasant.

Does the breed of mouse make any difference? Have you tested with other small rodents?

Jaffa cakes aren't quite the same since they changed them a few years back. Think they are more spongy now.

Depends on the brand: Cadburys do a good chocolate top, and the sponge is fine, but the orangey bit is rather lacking. Tesco own brand are fine in the sponge (but that varies - some taste stale even if well inside the sell by date) but appear to use a spray gun to apply the chocolate...
As you may be able to tell, I have conducted extensive JC research...

Chocolate Hob Nobs are excellent dunkers provided the Dunked time is no more than a second.
There is a real risk of structural collapse after that, leading to Porridgification of one's cup of tea.
Dead Flys Biscuits are pretty good dunkers too and hold well even after substantial dunking.
NEVER dunk pink wafers.

I used to be addicted to the milk chocolate Hob Nobs. When I moved to the states, I had to quit cold turkey. Last year I came across a store that carries those little slivers of heaven, but I am trying not to fall off the wagon again.

For God's sake, man, what about Rich tea - the ultimate dunking biscuit?
A dunk time of 1-3 seconds is about right. More than 7 seconds risks structural collapse.
About 1.5 seconds (with nice, strong, hot tea) gives the soft outer still containing a crisp inner.

Rich Teas are a given. We have some interesting dynamics regarding them in this house. Mrs Wife buys them and has one or two from the packet, then the rest vanish.
I blame the Pictsies. :innocentWhistle:

I'm guessing by that you mean 2 biscuits with the chocolate faces together - I find this to be the optimum way to eat them - it has the advantage of allowing a firm grip without getting melted chocolate on your fingers.
I was very surprised when my other half had never seen this technique before.

Firstly, my mum is feeling much better this morning, she went for a swim and although she still has some stiffness her headache has gone.
My grandmother isn't feeling very well at the moment, so my mum and dad took her shopping on Saturday. She confided to my mum that she's starting to feel a little bit old.
She's 89!

I remember my Uncle Tom and Auntie Gladys doing the Meals On Wheels run for "The old'uns". They were both in their 80s at this time - half the people they were delivering to were younger than them. Age really is a state of mind.

Yep, she has only recently scaled back the organisations she has been active in such as the scouts, local operatic society and blood donors.
Keep mind and body busy.

My Dad is 83 and Mum 78, they seem to have an endless list of commitments. Mum sings [she's cut back to three choirs and guesting for the other two], Dad is part of the management of the rugby club and is there almost every day [even when the bar is closed]. Coupled with the half dozen holidays they have each year, they need to be fit to do everything.
Half way through typing this, Mum called asking for a lift over to the station in the morning. She's orf to Norn Iron for an Old Girls Lunch and to visit the myriad friends and relations.

My Grandmother, some 40 years ago, was complaining to two other inmates at the Old People's Home she lived in about how old she was. They sympathised and offered to do what they could to help her. Ma was 76 and the other two where both in their 90's.
