Scotch Finger fans have been left horrified after a man revealed the ‘psychotic’ way his friend stores and serves the iconic biscuit.
In a confronting photo, which many people claimed should have come with a trigger warning, the man shows his friend’s biscuits piled into a jar.
Each one appeared to be broken in half but not along the scored horizontal line.
‘Should I call the police?’ the man wrote alongside the photo on Reddit, horrifying biscuit lovers.
One dubbed the chaotic scene ‘mental illness in a bowl’ but hundreds slammed the man’s biscuit storing habit.
‘OMG! A trigger warning would have been nice….,’ one said.
‘Straight to jail,’ another added.
‘You don’t need this negativity in your life,’ a third chimed in.
Others told the original poster it was time to choose better friends.
‘That person is not capable of having feelings or human emotion – let alone friendship,’ one said.
Some thought the ‘odd’ behaviour was grounds for refusing to stay on good terms with the friend.
‘Sever them from your life,’ another said.
The unsettling image of the biscuit jar led another person to have epiphany.
‘Is this how Italians feel when they see spaghetti split in half?’ he asked.
And he got a swift reply.
‘Being someone of Italian and Australian heritage, I feel qualified to answer. And yes, yes, it is,’ one said.
While most people were aghast at the way the Scotch Fingers had been split in two, others couldn’t get their heads around storing the biscuits in a bowl.
‘This can’t be real. Broken in half and uncovered so they go stale – this is the absolute worst,’ one said.
Another Aussie had loftier views about the biscuit breaking and said that the original poster’s friend might be an artistic genius.
‘I would have said call the police. But then I realised – this is not food. It is art. It depicts how everything delicious will be broken. We are meant to feel horrified,’ he said.
Another argued that the unusual splitting method had its benefits.
‘This is actually good. If you only want half of one, you can grab a piece and still have the pleasure of cracking it in half,’ he said.
