These are used for joining together pieces of wood, usually for furniture. Don’t eat ‘em.

Then why are they called biscuits??

[–] Cruxifux@lemmy.world 23 points 1 year ago

Because they look like biscuits. The tool you use to cut in the holes you use to put them in is literally called a biscuit joiner.

Also they’re delicious. But don’t fuckin’ eat em.

Oh. Well, at least they won't crumble in my coffee.

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)

[–] Mothra@mander.xyz 6 points 1 year ago

I would totally fall for it

You can always sit on a street corner with some and try handing them out to strangers saying "body of Christ."

The picture on the package looks just like a stroopwafel.

[–] ComfyMuffin@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

I'll bet they have caramel on the inside, eh?

You have to let it soften first by placing it over a warm cup of tea

I recognize a Menards price tag when I see one.

Man they're dark, I thought they were actual biscuits for a second, and I'm a carpenter.

[–] tipicaldik@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

They taste just like those little wooden spoons we'd get with our ice cream cups

When someone says something tastes like cardboard, give them one of these…

[–] idunnololz@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Wtf type of price is 6.65.

[–] AnUnusualRelic@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

6 local currency units plus 65 hundredths of one local currency unit. Looks fine to me.

[–] sagrotan@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Awful packaging, tons of plastic.

[–] Sho@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

This gives mad "bachelor chow" vibes

[–] Etterra@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

What the hell kind of biscuits are these wafer cookie rejects? Dog biscuits?

[–] llama_spit@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

Plumbing, electrical, appliances too...

[–] SonicBlue03@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 year ago

They're also not as crispy as you'd expect a wafer to be.

[–] terminhell@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 1 year ago

They look like dog snacks...

Anything above #12 is basically garbage. #6 is where it's at with these.
