Saw these in a hardware store the other day and really wanted to try one. Someone should bring them into their office and see if people will eat them
I would since I thought this was some kind of food until reading your comment (though it would be a bit overpriced for what looks like terrible cookies)
Wait, they’re not? Then what are they?

They are for wood joinery. You cut a half-moon slot in the edge of two pieces of wood you want to glue together, and stick a biscuit in the slot (with glue, of course). The biscuit provides additional glue surface and stiffness for a stronger glue joint. I mostly use them for panels, where you are gluing multiple skinny birds together to make one large, flat board (like a table or desk top).
I would totally fall for it
