Biscuits are the best tea-time snack and a popular solution for hunger pangs. That one container of biscuits in the corner of the kitchen shelf always has our eyes. From Parle G to Oreo, time has passed and flavours have changed but the habit of crunching has remained constant. But most often the crunch of biscuits is lost as they become stale due to moisture when they are left open for a longer time. Due to this, we throw them away.
