BBC giving free advertising in disguise, wtf? Evan Davis can't have a podcast about heat pumps because they're "controversial" but they can make fluff pieces for private corporations? What a shower of bastards.

Anthony Coulson, general manager at the company's chocolate refinery and bakery in Stockport, said the teatime staple was originally meant to be eaten with the chocolate-covered side facing down.

Who's eating chocolate digestives at tea time?

It's the world's most incredible debate

Wrong

"Now up until then I'd always eaten it the other way round...You can do it exactly how you want to do it."

Panic over!

No one but no one is debating this, now or ever.

I read the headline and instantly knew that, no, no I'm not eating them incorrectly. I put the butter on top of the chocolate on the first one, invert the second one and sandwich them together - just like everyone else.

We'll have to disagree on that one. No butter. 2 second dip in Yorkshire biscuit tea. Shove the whole thing in your face. Job done.

Butter with plain digestives is the way.

Yes, clearly. Biscuits originally sold as being a digestive aid to reduce possibility of discomfort maybe from over-eating. Personally never achieved such.

False advertising? Selflessly scoffing several packets in one sitting, esp dark chocolate persuasion, has never provided stated relief advertised by given name.

Must be eating them 'wrong'.
