    Biscuit in a tin

    Is this some American thing I’m to European to understand?

      I’ve actually seen these for croissants and pains au chocolat

      If you like incredibly shit-tier croissants and pains au chocolat

      They’re self rising Pillsbury biscuits (or similar). Not what Americans call cookies that Brits call biscuits

      And yeah, they come in a tube. The plastic/papery wrap is structural to keeping the pressure on them. It’s pretty neat packaging design. This is the first I’ve heard of the little pop being considered scary though

        Hyper sensitive people can be terrified of them. It’s kind of funny in a mean way, like tossing a firecracker at an unsuspecting friend.

          Tossing a lit firecracker at an unsuspecting friend is a bit beyond mean.

          And the biscuit tube is frightening. Sometimes, I chase my girlfriend around with a half-peeled one.
