英語(yǔ)聽(tīng)力文摘 餅干有毒？（下）
It also revealed that 28 percent had choked on crumbs, while one in ten had broken a tooth or filling biting a biscuit. More unusually, three percent had poked themselves in the eye with a biscuit and seven percent bitten by a pet or other wild animal trying to get their biscuit.
One man even ended up stuck in wet concrete after wading in to pick up a stray biscuit. Mindlab International director David Lewis said: “We tested the physical properties of 15 most popular types of biscuits, along with aspects of their consumption such as ‘dunkability’ and crumb dispersal.” And the title of the most dangerous biscuit belongs to the humble custard cream. It poses the most risk to innocent dunkers with a Biscuit Injury Threat Evaluation, or B.I.T.E rating of 5.63.
This compares to just 1.16 for soft and safe and Jaffa Cakes. Mike Driver, Marketing Director for biscuit makers Rocky, who commissioned the study, said: “Working with biscuits every day, we’d long suspected they’re not as innocent as they look, and we were right.”
