Scotch Finger fans have been left horrified after a man revealed the “psychotic” way his friend stores and serves the iconic biscuit.
In a provocative photo, which many say should have come with a warning, the man shows off his friend’s cookies stacked in a jar.
Each one appeared to be split in half, but not along the marked horizontal line.
“Should I call the police?” the man wrote alongside the photo on Reddit, horrifying cookie lovers.
One branded the chaotic scene “mental illness in a jar” but hundreds criticised the man’s habit of stockpiling biscuits.
“Oh my God! A trigger warning would have been nice…” said one.
“Straight to jail,” added another.
“You don’t need this negativity in your life,” chimed in a third.
The “horrifying” image posted to Reddit showed the unusual way an Australian man chooses to split his Arnott’s Scotch Finger biscuits in half.
The iconic sweet is designed to split along the horizontal line to deliver two fingers of cookie.
Others told the original author that it was time to choose better friends.
“That person is not capable of human feelings or emotions, much less friendship,” said one.
Some thought that such “strange” behavior was a reason to refuse to maintain a good relationship with the friend.
“Get them out of your life,” said another.
The haunting image of the cookie jar led another person to have an epiphany.
“Is this how Italians feel when they see spaghetti cut in half?” he asked.
And received a quick response.
“Because I have Italian and Australian ancestry, I feel qualified to answer. And yes, yes, it is,” said one.
While most people were horrified by the way the Scotch Fingers had been split in two, others couldn’t figure out how to store the biscuits in a bowl.
“This can’t be real. If you cut it in half and uncover it, it goes rancid. It’s the worst,” said one.
Another Australian had higher opinions on the cracker break, saying the original author’s friend might be an artistic genius.
“I would have said to call the police, but then I realized this isn’t food, this is art. It represents how everything delicious will break down. We’re supposed to feel horrified,” she said.
Another argued that the unusual method of division had its benefits.
“This is really nice. If you only want half of one, you can grab a piece and still have the pleasure of breaking it in half,” he said.
