When you eat a chocolate digestive or hobnob, which way round do you hold them?

Is the chocolate on the top of the biscuit or the bottom? It's a debate which has been raging for years.

What usually starts out as an innocent conversation in the office can get so out of hand, people start contacting biscuit manufacturers on social media.

They usually tweet at McVitie's or Fox's asking if they can settle the argument.

People have even made polls on the topic

And this recent Facebook post sparked a huge debate

One person commented: Choc is defo the bottom......who even thought that it was the top!!!!"

Another said: "Chocolate side is [the top]!!! Why would you put chocolate on the bottom of something!!!"

Joe Joinson commented: "Chocolate is the top. Debate over."

What do you think?

So what's the right answer?

United Biscuits, who own McVitie's, confirmed in 2014 that the chocolate is actually on the bottom of the biscuit.

But they're still having to tell people this as everyone continues to argue about it.

On the recent Facebook post on the McVitie's page, they commented: "Hi, our Hobnobs goes through a reservoir of chocolate, so it's on the bottom! Thanks, McVitie's"

Why is it on the bottom? Because the biscuits go through a 'reservoir' of chocolate, coating their bottoms in cocoa goodness.

Does this go against everything you believe?! Yes, us too.
