Is this some American thing I'm to European to understand?
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.
The little metal end part can become a projectile and hit you in the face.
Well don't face the metal part towards you then!
Surely that attachment is significantly stronger than the sidewall. Even if you tried I think you'd just split the sides along the spiral impression and couldn't launch the top
They always go flying off when I use the "smack on the corner of the counter" method of opening them 🤷🏻♂️
I always wondered why the instructions were so emphatic that it specifically be opened by pressing a spoon against the side of the seam and today I learned its because this guy keeps trying to lose an eye and they don't want to be held liable for that.
Pretty good example for why RTFM.
I popped one open on my cat's head one time and they never forgave me :(
Sounds fun to me. I would laugh if it happened to me.
People with broken flight or fight responses (usually due to trauma, not always involving loud noises) hawe issues with the loud pop, even when you know its coming causes the flight or fight response and takes a lot of effort to calm yourself down.
Its not scary per se, its aggravating a broken somatic response.
Totally fair!
Loud pop? It just makes a little thud when you whack it.
Don't think of a sweet dry disc (what Americans call a "cookie"), think of a thick round doughy scone, slightly salty and buttery, designed to receive either sweet (various jams or jellies) or savory (fried cured meats, eggs, cheese) accompaniment.
It's funny that this distinction needs to be made every time biscuits are mentioned in the post. There were some very confused non-Americans in the comments of a biscuits and gravy meme the other day
Too late, I've already dipped me Hob-Nob in me mug o' Bisto.
But we also have cookie dough in a tube too
True, but in my experience opening the tube is nowhere near as violent. Biscuits in particular, I suspect by virtue of their yeast content, cause the kind of danger referenced here.
If they're made right, they're close to cylindrical croissants.
Every biscuit I've ever had has been way more dense than a croissant
You should be able to tear the biscuit apart into thin layers that are only a little more dense than a croissant.
I've actually seen these for croissants and pains au chocolat
If you like incredibly shit-tier croissants and pains au chocolat
I'm European, Swedish, and these have been common for over a decade. Most common here is in "pizza kits", you get one tube like in the post but with pizza dough and a glass jar of tomato sauce with herbs.
There are also a lot of dough based things in a tin sold in Europe. I know that a French company is selling everything in cans under the german brand "knack & back"; bread rolls, croissants and even pizza dough
American biscuits, closest you have are scones iirc
Funny. I’m American but I don’t eat cookies or biscuits. So I figured this was a British thing.
