    I could have sworn there was a mod for one of the GTA games that replaces the model/skin of the grenades with can of biscuit dough. You’d throw it, it’d roll and do nothing for a sec, then there would be no actual explosion, but that muffled splat sound the cans make and some dough would squeeze out from the seams.

    …but the everything else responded normally as they would to a grenade; so a can of biscuit dough popping would still send people ragdolling away from it, cause cars to explode, etc.

    Maybe it was just a parody gif someone made and not an actual mod? I can’t find it. Q_Q

    My trick is to shout HIYA really loud when I open it. I did learn to warn people I am going to do this first, so they don’t drop a cheese plate and then chase you with a broom.

    I don’t make these anymore, and when we did, had to ask someone with better nerves to open them. But I had a friend who had a great story about the canned biscuits. She went shopping and was waiting in the car, for her husband to finish shopping at a different store. Got sleepy, leaned her seat way back and went to sleep. Windows down, and it’s hot here. She wakes to a loud pop, thinks it’s a gunshot - feels her head, it’s all gooey, she thinks she has been shot and is in so much shock she has no pain. It was the biscuits. They exploded and got in her hair.

    The best defense is an aggressive offense. Before you even mess with the peel, WHOMP! them several times (as needed) against the edge of the counter, or better yet a corner, which is more likely to break through the wrap and bust them open. They can’t startle you if you startle them.

    I’m going to share with you the only way to open canned biscuits that’s full proof.

    Pull off some of the outer paper. Just a bit.

    Next place the canned biscuits in a bowl or tray of some kind.

    Next. Poor a little water on the canned biscuits.

    The water will eventually seep in enough and the cardboard will break up and POP!

    But it won’t happen immediately.

    So you can leave the room and wait for the pop at a safe distance.

    You are all welcome.
