Danger

First of all, pretend it’s in focus.
Second of all: have you or anyone you know ever been injured while opening a roll of biscuits?
And finally of all: how do you open your biscuits? Do you press a spoon to the seam like they tell you to, do you whack them on the counter, or what?

We call them “whack’em” biscuits here for a reason. Yum, biscuits…
-
I’ve never been injured no, but the anticipation of the seam popping makes me handle the thing like it’s a live grenade. It startles me every time it finally opens.

Whompin biscuits. You whomp ‘em on the counter. Jerry Clower once said it sounded like a war in his neighborhood when all of the housewives were whompin their biscuits.
I don’t like the new style that pops open at random and scares the scat out of you.
-
I can NOT open them – my husband does LOL. he just uses his hands and they pop open.
-
I usually just jump on the package until it’s pretty well flat, then open one end and pour the crumbs into a big bowl.
Nah, not really. Never seen this particular product, but given the rampant lawyer-insanity of America these days, I’m not in the least surprised.

I once opened one of the sumbitches only to realize I’d release a whole herd of mean squirrels who were totin’ sharpened toothpicks!
Took me and my husband the better part of the night to round the little effers up. I musta had a hunnert or so puncture wounds. Still have no idea how they all fit in there.
Effers.

Whack the daylights out of ‘em. Sometimes one whack just doesn’t do it. Sends the dog to her crate in a heartbeat – afraid she’s next!

Okay, I just happened upon your blog, but I’ll admit it: I’ve been hurt by the popping biscuits. I was opening the paper and it popped open on its own, springing back and pinching the side of my hand. This left a huge blood blister and bruise, which caused tons of people to ask me what I’d done to my hand because it just looked so gross.
I now refuse to open them, but have seen others in action. My best friend uses the whack-against-the-counter method and my husband is a spoon-pressed-against-the-seam type. I just stand back and watch.

Having read those last comments, I withdraw my flippancy. That does sound (a) dangerous, and (b) like bad packaging.
-
Jess! I am so sorry that happened! But now that I’ve read this, it makes perfect sense that it would.

If you leave biscuits in a car (in the summer in Texas) too long, or if the pack rolls out of the grocery bag into the cargo area, they pop open on their own and have quite a velocity to them. Don’t ask me how I know…
