Tea break..good or not??

   Is tea break injurious for us?? 

Have you ever thought of getting injured while dunking your biscuit or cookies in your hot tea or coffee??

Sounds weird right... But this is true!!

More than half of all Britons have been injured by biscuits, according to a new survey.

Injuries range from being scalded by hot tea or coffee while dunking, to breaking a tooth while eating biscuits.

An estimated 25 million adults have been injured during a tea break, with 500 hospitalised, the survey found.

It found almost a third of adults said they had been splashed or scalded by hot drinks while dunking or trying to fish the remnants of a collapsed digestive, 28 percent had choked on crumbs. One in 10 had broken a tooth or filling while biting a biscuit.

More unusually, three percent had poked themselves in the eye with a biscuit and seven percent had been bitten by a pet or “other wild animal” trying to get their biscuit.

The custard cream was the worse offender, topping a table of 15 generic biscuits whose potential dangers were calculated by The Biscuit Injury Threat Evaluation.

Custard creams get a risk rating of 5.63, compared to 1.16 for Jaffa cakes, which was the safest biscuit of all.

Mindlab International director Dr David Lewis said: “We tested the physical properties of 15 popular types of biscuits, along with aspects of their consumption such as ‘dunkability’ and crumb dispersal.” – ananova.com
