This biscuit-wrapper joke is either the best or the worst you’ll see today
There’s a category of things that are so bad, they’re good. Consider, for example, Dick Van Dyke’s Cockney accent, Rick Astley’s ‘Never Gonna Give You Up’, or Boris Johnson’s Brexit plans – no, wait …not that one. One area that falls under this heading quite often is the humble joke – particularly those found in Christmas crackers, on lolly sticks, or – like this one – on biscuit wrappers.

In case that isn’t clear, it says:
“Why can’t penguins fly?”
“Because they are chocolate biscuits.”
To illustrate how this is both terrible and brilliant, here are some representative reactions:

Literally spent 30 seconds reading the allergens because I thought you’d highlighted the text in blue

Maybe the chocolate isn’t the only thing that’s thick.
