    Excuse the double post, but I have just been through all my old law books (well a quick google of some half-read ill-written blog posts) and whilst your contract is with Tesco, the choice is theirs whether they offer a refund/replacement or repair. As you've had the goods for so long, I suspect they will want to try a repair first, rebinding the crumbs with pritt stick, and then pre-scoring partway through the gunge to reduce future spontaneous biscuit integrity failure. They may also consider adding extra torsional rigidity with discs of pork escalop, fried until rigid.

    But you can always rely on your secret EU 2-year law and get a full refund.

    I have read some rubbish posts on this site, but honestly, this just 'takes the biscuit'.

    I suppose that's just the way the cookie crumbles.

    I think you should write to Oreo and ask them to send you a crate of biscuits so that you can find the quickest and most efficient way of warming an Oreo biscuit up to a suitable temperature so that it will "twist".

    I personally put my packet in-between my cleavage for 30 minutes prior to eating. Fat people could insert the packet in-between rolls of stomach fat.

    Can I come and watch you eat a packet of biscuits? :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:
    The greater danger, for most of us, lies not in setting our aim too high and falling short; but in setting our aim too low and achieving our mark

    It's an absolute outrage that Tesco's (and Kraft) would treat you this way... Personally, I'd be looking to file a claim with the small claims court right about now, with 8% interest too, don't forget about that.

    Contact the ASA immediately!

    ...and on the subject of biscuits....

    Toffee Dodgers...avoid avoid avoid...falsely advertised implying they are better than Jammie Dodgers in the monkey ad.

    Well they're not, in fact they are pretty horrible

    Who can I sue? Maybe the monkeys?
